Flora Duffy Wins XTERRA Title In South Africa
[Updated with video] Bermuda’s Flora Duffy has claimed yet another international win, racing to victory in today’s [Feb 20] XTERRA South African Championships, finishing the 1.5km swim, 28km mountain bike and 12.5km trail run race in a time of 2 hours, 39 minutes and 8 seconds.
“Getting my third victory in Grabouw is really cool,” says a delighted Ms Duffy after the race.
“I won my very first XTERRA here. As I spend five months out of the year in South Africa, XTERRA Grabouw is an unofficial home race for me.
“The XTERRA Grabouw course is phenomenal. It’s a true XTERRA course. You have to know how to ride a mountain bike.
“The crowd and community involvement really makes this race special. I’m happy with my overall 7th place and my third XTERRA Grabouw title.”
