Just under 700 multisport athletes gathered at Gordon’s Bay Beach Front in South Africa to partake in the 12th annual Totalsports Challenge.
Bermudan triathlete, Flora Duffy captured the title of Totalsports Terra Firma Challenge Individual Women’s Champion in a time of 4:24:32. Kathrin Walther finished in second and Marilyn Fischer finished third.
“Coming into the event I didn’t know what to expect,” says a happy Duffy. “I was a little worried at the beginning, but soon started to feel fine even though I had a mechanical on the road bike. I ran great on the road, handled my mountain bike well and survived the beach run. The event is fantastic, really well organized. The entire course is gorgeous, picturesque and fun, a unique combination”.
