Flora Duffy got her 2017 triathlon season off to a flying start as she comfortably won the women’s pro division today at the XTerra South African Championships in Grabouw.
Flora finished 16th overall in 2hrs 39 mins 00 secs with second placed finisher Marie Rabie of South Africa 6 mins 31 secs behind in 2:45:31.
Flora exited the water just seconds behind the leading men that included Richard Murray, one of the leading men on the ITU World Series circuit, who was making a rare appearance at an “off road” triathlon and was the eventual men’s winner.
