Flora Duffy Claims Another Victory In South Africa

February 22, 2015

[Updated] Marking her third victory in as many weeks, Bermuda’s Flora Duffy has claimed yet another win, racing to victory in this weekend’s XTERRA South Africa Championship. Duffy was the first female across the line, and finished 10th overall in a time of 2.45.27.

The Bermudian athlete has proven herself to be close to unbeatable on the XTERRA circuit recently, with her wins this past year including the XTERRA Off Road Triathlon in Philippines, XTERRA World Championship in Hawaii, as well as XTERRA titles in Utah, Nevada, Australia and Alabama.

Update 11.32am: Speaking after the race, Duffy said: “I’m completely blown way. Having raced the past two weekends, I was actually tired coming into today’s race. I had a great swim, but at the start of the mountain bike my legs just weren’t there.

“I’m always told that I don’t have to feel good in order to go fast. I just kept reminding myself of that. The run was tough, but this time round Dan was out on the route giving me splits, that was nice. Winning here today is really special as South Africa has become my second home. It was here that I first got into the sport of XTERRA”.
