Following her win over the weekend, Flora Duffy spoke with XTERRA Magazine, Reigning XTERRA World Champion Duffy was simply unstoppable the report started. She led everybody—men included—out of the water then rode and ran seamlessly to take the tape in 10th place overall with nearly 20 minutes to spare.
“Everything seemed to work out today. It’s a very technical, challenging bike course so my biggest fear was flatting or having a mechanical so I was concentrating on keeping it smooth in the single track,” said Duffy, who has won nine of the 10 XTERRA Championships she has raced in since capturing the SA title last February.
“Fabulous day, this is my favorite XTERRA on the circuit. It’s the best organized, the biggest, it’s just amazing and I’m so glad I could come here and defend my title. Last year this race kind of kicked off my year that culminated in winning Maui so to come back here as a world champion was very special.”
