Forty-one year old Rafael Mercado had a fantastic race at the notoriously hot and hilly Disco Triathlon in Dallas Texas this past weekend. Rafa swam a solid 33:57 for 1500 meter non-wetsuit swim, coming out 3rd in his age group. He passed two men on the bike course to arrive to T2 in 1st place with a smoking 1:10 ride on the challenging course. Once on the run, Rafael held on for 2nd place in a tight race! Way to go Rafael!
