Weiss, Duffy Win 2017 XTERRA World Championship
/
October 29, 2017 (Kapalua, Maui, Hawaii) – Bradley Weiss from Stellenbosch, South Africa and Flora Duffy from Devonshire, Bermuda captured the 22nd XTERRA World Championship off-road triathlon elite titles on a warm, sunny day in Kapalua, Maui.
It’s the first XTERRA World title for Weiss, and the fourth in a row for Duffy. With the win, Duffy joins XTERRA Hall of Famer Conrad Stoltz as the only other elite to win four titles, she is the first female to four, and is the only elite to win four straight.
Both Weiss and Duffy each earned $20,000 USD for their respective victories. The total purse was $100,000 and the event was filmed for live viewing as well as international distribution.
More than 800 endurance athletes – including six physically challenged athletes – from 52 countries competed in the event, which started with a one-mile rough water swim at D.T. Fleming Beach, continued with a 20-mile mountain bike ride that traversed the West Maui Mountains, and finished with a tough 6.5-mile trail run in the hot sun.
There was more than 4,000-feet of combined climbing on the technical bike and run courses, which were in excellent condition despite pouring rain on Monday and Tuesday of this week.
“I didn’t lose any time on the swim which was unbelievable,” said Weiss, who has always been a strong biker and runner, but came out of the water more than two-minutes behind the swim leaders last year. “I don’t know how I did it. I just felt so comfortable in the water. I actually caught a wave at the end and caught up and got past the group. When I stood up on the sand and saw Ben and Flora and the whole group I just thought, what’s going on?”
It’s often been said that you can lose an XTERRA race on the swim but you can’t win it, but Weiss thinks he might have proven the theory wrong.
“One hundred percent I won the race on the swim,” said Weiss, perhaps half in jest. “It’s been letting me down all these years. When I stood up out of the water and saw Mauricio and Ben, I thought, ‘Game on, here we go.’ And I think mentally I won the race there. I was just so, so confident.”
Weiss finished in 2:32:10 and was a humble champion in his first victory after three attempts on the Maui course.
“The Maui gods definitely looked after me this year,” said Weiss at the awards ceremony. “I’m so happy to be here standing on the top of the podium. Well done to the guys standing around me. They brought out the best in me and I had to dig deep a few times and try to get a bit of belief going. Even when I was winning, I didn’t think I deserved to be there, but I’m super proud and super grateful.”
After Weiss surprised himself with a great swim, he took a chance and charged hard from the beginning of the bike course.
“I got on the bike and I knew Ruben and Josiah would be coming,” said Weiss. “And I knew I had to put a gap on Mauricio. He’s proven time and time again that he’s putting the fastest run splits in.”
On the bike course, Ruben Ruzafa, a tremendously skilled mountain biker, caught up to Weiss just before the second water station, but Ruzafa never had more than 30 seconds on his competitor.
“Once Ruben caught me, I thought, ‘Hang in there as long as you can,’” said Weiss. “I made a little mistake on the last bit of single track and Ruben got away.”
On the mountain bike ride, Weiss and Ruzafa swapped the first and second spots. Francisco “Paco” Serrano, who won ITU Cross Tri Worlds a few months ago, held tight to third place during the bike.
Weiss caught up to Ruzafa about one-mile into the run and put a charge into it, ultimately finishing down the chute with his arms outstretched, sharing high fives with the crowd.
Mauricio Mendez, the 2016 XTERRA World Champ, was the eventual runner-up. He was expected to be racing from the front, but he was in fourth place off the bike. He then posted the fastest run split, covering the 6.5-mile course in 39:49 to Weiss’ 41:40 and Ruzafa’s 43:41.
“Today was a really tough race,” said Mendez, who finished the course in 2:33:24. “I was fighting the whole time in the swim. On the bike I tried to do my own race but I was struggling. On the run I knew I had a chance. When I caught Paco, I thought, ‘This is it, I got third place.’ Then when I saw Ruben, I thought, ‘I can do this. I need to put my head down and see what happens.’”
Ruzafa had the fastest bike split and was the first rider into T2 here in Kapalua for the fifth straight year, but got caught by Weiss early on the run and got reeled in by Mendez just before the last stretch of sand before the finish and ended up in 3rd place.
On Thursday, Serrano had a crash on his bike and his shifter got loose, effectively rendering his bike a single speed today on the course.
“I had no shifting on the downhills, but I was feeling good on the run and I gave my best,” said Serrano. “I think Maui wants to test me through adversity. I’m not going to give up. Mauricio got by me on the last uphill by the beach. Hopefully I will be back next year.”
Josiah Middaugh was the top American finisher in Maui for the 10th time and seventh year in a row, and finished eighth.
“I was three minutes back after the swim and I need to be around two minutes back to catch up on the bike,” said Middaugh. “It meant I had to ride by myself for the entire race and never battled once with that top group of guys. So, I worked my way into the field into the top ten, but I felt like I was ten percent off in terms of how I was feeling.”
Right at the start, Midduagh was hit by a wave. “I looked up to sight just as a wave crested and it tumbled me backwards so I was riding the wave from the wrong direction right at the start. All of a sudden, I was back with a bunch of pink caps, which is never a good sign for me. Unless it was Flora’s cap, but unfortunately, it was not.”
Cedric Fleureton, who unretired from triathlon to reignite his triathlon career, returned to the sport in fine form and finished fifth.
Quotes from the field, Elite Men
Bradley Weiss
“It’s unbelievable. I just had that day. To win here, everything has to go right, you can’t make any mistakes. Everything that I expected to go well went well but I think my swim won the day. I didn’t lose any time in the swim, which was unbelievable. I don’t know how I did it. I just felt so comfortable in the water. I actually caught a wave right at the end. I was just losing the group and I got a wave and caught up to the group and went up and over a couple of guys. I just stood up and saw Ben and Flora and the whole group and thought, “What’s going on?” I got on the bike and the pace wasn’t that strong in the beginning and I knew Ruben and Josiah would be coming and I knew I had to make a gap on Mauricio. He’s proven time and time again he’s putting the fastest run splits in and I think he put three minutes into me so to be able to get a gap on him I had to really go early and go deep, but I still rode very content and within myself and had Dan Hugo out on course giving me splits and keeping me calm and composed and reminding me to do the basics, which were to drink, eat, and just stay on top of hydration.
I had a rough week. I literally didn’t sleep almost for three nights. After all the rain on Monday and Tuesday, I went for a swim and just felt incredibly nauseous afterwards. I had some real stomach issues. I went through some deep dark places before the race, before I even got to the race. Perhaps that prepared me mentally a little bit. I thought, I’m going to throw a little caution to the wind and go for it and see what happens.
Ruben caught me just before water point two and I knew he was coming and I kept looking back and checking. I knew he was closing the gap, but he didn’t close it that quickly. It took him longer than I expected for him to catch me. Once he caught me I thought hang in there as long as you can. I made a little mistake on the last single track and he got away but he didn’t get that far. I think it was 30 seconds at the end. And I’ll always back my running against anyone – besides Mauricio.
I never panicked once. I think that’s what it takes to win this race. Stay composed and stay calm and keep digging deep.
It’s my third attempt at XTERRA Maui and everyone who has won has had to come here a few times and have a few disasters and I’m definitely one of them.
My triathlon journey started in 2012 and I don’t think I ever thought I could win this race. Even this morning I was in a weird mental space. The sport of swim, bike, run is pretty simple when you think about it. You just have to be the fastest.
Mauricio Mendez
The truth is I have mixed feelings right now. Having a second place is great but from right now until October 28th next year, I am going to be thinking of one thing and that’s getting that title back. Today was a really tough race in every sense of the word. The swim was tough, I was fighting the whole time. I couldn’t find my rhythm. On the bike we were just fighting. A big group of us started riding together. I tried to do my own race because I was really struggling. On the run, I just knew I was three minutes behind Bradley. I didn’t know how far back I was from Serrano. I just ran my race and at the last climb, I caught Paco and then I got Ruben in the river crossing.
I am really happy for Brad. He has been working hard for this. Besides that, we are friends and it’s always nice to see someone like that succeed.
The course was perfect. It was hot and fast. I’m confident for what’s about to come. I have age on my side. For this year I’m done, and get to spend some time with family in Maui and have some time and then start training to be stronger.
Ruben Ruzafa
I knew Brad was really strong. I raced with him in Denmark and he rode really fast but I thought about the possibility in the run he could have some problems, but he ran really strong. I ran as hard as I could but Mauricio came the last mile near the beach.
Bradley caught me about 1.5 miles into the run, we went together a long time then he pulled away. When we crossed the road, Mauricio caught me at the end. I was almost dead. I am happy because today I didn’t have any problems.
The course was dry, no crashes, no problems, all perfect. The swim was good for me today as well, but I want to improve. I caught Bradley on the bike after both climbs on the finish of the downhill about three miles before the end. I couldn’t pull away far. I only got about 20 seconds ahead.
Francisco Serrano
I thought it was going to be my day. I think Maui wants to test myself through adversity. I’m not going to give up. When everything becomes perfect I think I’m going to be up there on the podium. I had a crash on Thursday and had some problems on the bike again this year.
I was feeling good on the run and I gave my best, but I got some huge blisters and couldn’t push as hard as I wanted on the downhill. It was my best finish so far so I can’t be upset about that. It was a strong field.
Mauricio got by me on the last uphill by the beach, on the steep uphill on the pavement. You gotta have your perfect race with every single detail. It was good today, but with that small crash on the bike, I lost my shifter, some blisters.
It was an amazing course, everything was so smooth. The ocean was great, a little surf, a nice sunny day, so nothing else we can hope for.
Cedric Fleureton
It was a nice race. It was a big surprise for me because I don’t know a lot of the other guys. I give the best I can do and I’m very happy. I’m happy about me, about the life, about the sport. I haven’t done this race for 10 years.
I finished top 5 at XTERRA Italy in July and I lost it on the run. I thought “I’ll go to Maui just to see.”
I’m surprised I did so well. It’s nice.
Josiah Middaugh
We were looking at some results from years it’s gone well here and I need to be around 2 minutes back after the swim. It made for a really tough day being three minutes back.
I wasn’t feeling like I had 100% to give. I’m not sure why. I’ll have to think about that for a while. It was a tough day. I don’t know. It was great conditions and nothing went wrong.
Bradley had a couple of great races this year, winning the European Championship. Even in France when I raced over there, he was biking as well as anybody. He was actually putting a lead on people early. Then in Utah, when I caught him on the bike, there was nothing I could do to get rid of him. He was strong.
Really good conditions today. The ocean was pretty tame even though I did get smacked by a wave right at the start unfortunately. I made it through the first two waves well and I was in a good spot and I looked up to sight right as a wave crested and tumbled me backwards so I was riding the wave from the wrong direction right at the start. It was a bummer.
Ben Hoffman
I don’t know, I felt like I kept hitting the gas but there wasn’t a lot of fight in me physically and mentally. It was strange. I was just really flat out there and it basically became damage control making sure I didn’t lose my 30-minute lead on the double. Right at the beginning those guys rode away from me and I tried to go with them but it became clear to me that I wasn’t going to be able to. I just didn’t have it today.
For me the double was the primary goal. Of course, I wanted to improve on my 7th from last year but the big picture, I got the double three years in a row and I’m excited to say that over the last 3 years I’ve had the best time combined – Kona and Maui – and I think that’s kind of special. I’m not super happy with it but there’s silver lining and it’s nice to be able to say that I’m the best of both worlds.

Women’s Race
Today was all about Flora Duffy. She led the swim, the bike, and the run for the women by a remarkable lead. By mile 15 on the bike, Duffy had an almost six-minute lead on runner up Barbara Riveros from Chile.
“I did my first XTERRA World Championship in 2013, and I can vividly remember almost falling over running on that beach down there,” said Duffy. “So, to be here today after winning four in a row is pretty unbelievable and pretty crazy to think about where I started. It’s a very special day for me, and what made it even cooler was that Bradley Weiss – Bad Brad I like to call him – won his first world title. We’ve done a lot of training together over the years. He helped me in my final prep to Rotterdam and I would like to think I helped him today.”
The 2017 XTERRA Chile Champion, Barbara Riveros was in second place for most of the race after a solid swim. She finished in 2:56:11, about eight minutes behind Duffy. Laura Philipp was third in 2:57:24.
“On the bike, Flora was on another level, we all know that,” said Riveros, a three-time Olympian, who missed the last two years at Maui because of injury. “I’m very happy to be at the finish in one piece and I’m happy to be back. I definitely need to spend more time on the mountain bike to get to the next level.”
As for Philipp, who won XTERRA France earlier this year in her first off-road race, she sat in third most all day.
“It was tough from the beginning, but I was surprised I was fourth out of the water which was good for me,” said Philipp. “I’ll definitely be back. The race was beautiful. I didn’t have to worry about traffic. I was 100 percent concentrated.”
XTERRA European Champion Brigitta Poor posted a fabulous performance to finish in fourth.
“The swim was crazy, but I lived,” she laughed. “I was happy when I started the bike and I loved the course. It’s really a power course, but I didn’t drink enough so my legs cramped.”
The untold story of the day comes from the Scottish Rocket Lesley Paterson, who was injured shortly after winning the XTERRA Pan America Championship in September and had been struggling with a stress fracture in her pelvis for the past month.
“I’ve only done one minute of run training in the last four weeks, and that was last night,” Paterson finally admitted. “It was a challenge to get here but I wanted to come because I love the XTERRA family and I knew if I didn’t come here I wouldn’t experience it. And you know, I enjoyed it. I enjoyed being out here and seeing everyone and suffering with everyone. I really enjoyed it.”
Suzie Snyder, who finished sixth and top American in Maui for the second straight year, can relate. The XTERRA Pan Am Tour champ has been dealing with asthma and heart rate issues for the past few months.
“I’m pretty relieved I can be done and recover,” said Snyder. “I’m disappointed to be off the podium. It was a strong field, but when you don’t have the preparation, you can’t expect to be on the podium.”
Quotes from the field, Elite Women
Lesley Paterson
I’ve only done one minute of run training the last 4 weeks because I was injured. And that was last night. The bike training has been pretty tough as was the swim. Unfortunately, I got a stress fracture in my pelvis. You know it’s been painful so it was a bummer. It was a challenge to get here. A lot of tears. A lot of frustration but I decided I wanted to come out here anyway because I love the XTERRA family and if I don’t come out here I don’t get to experience it. I just wanted to enjoy the experience.
The swim felt good, it wasn’t painful. And the swim has been very painful just with the pelvis rotating. So I was really happy. But running up to the bike it was really painful and I thought, “Oh this is not going to be good.” But then the bike was fine. But I just didn’t have my top fitness and with these girls you have to come with your top game if you want to be competitive at all. And the run was just an absolute survival.
Barbara Riveros
It was OK. I had an OK swim. On the bike Flora was on another level, we know that. I’m happy I did everything I could. I was in second place the whole race but Laura did a really good job. She is very strong. She is someone to watch. It’s great to have people like that to bring the level of XTERRA up.
Laura Phillip
It was tough from the beginning, but I was surprised I was fourth out of the water which was good for me. And on the run, I really suffered. From the beginning I couldn’t find any kind of rhythm and I think it was the first time ever that I was walking in a triathlon. But then on the downhill, I felt a bit better. But I can’t complain I took third place and I’m really happy with that. I made up time on Barbara but I never caught her. I had no idea who was behind me. Brigitta and me we started the run together but then I didn’t see her.
The water was good, on the first exit I caught the wave nicely. The second exit was hard but for my first real ocean swim I did pretty good. It’s beautiful. I think I will do some more. I will now enjoy some vacation time on the beach.
Brigitta Poor
I was very happy when I started the bike and I loved the course. It was dry and it’s really a power course. That’s very good for me but the problem was I drank less so at the end of the bike my legs were cramped. So, the run was like walking and I was very dizzy. I’m very happy to finish.
Laura and I came to the transition together after the bike but I was very slow on the run. I did a lot of mistakes after I finished the bike like not enough water. But I am very happy it was the perfect place. Maybe next year.
Suzie Snyder
My breathing was good. I think coming down to sea level really helped. The asthma is more part of it than I realized. The inhaler helped. I was good mentally. I never let the breathing get out of control.
The course was a little slick in spots but overall it was a fun course. It was a little rough in sections but I had fun on the bike.

Outrigger Resorts Double
Ben Hoffman won the Outrigger Resorts Double award for the third straight year. The honor is given annually to those who post the fastest combined times in both the Ironman World Championship and the XTERRA World Championship.
“I’m disappointed I didn’t improve on my 7th place finish from last year, but winning the double is the silver lining and I’m excited to say I’m the best in both worlds,” said Hoffman, who finished 12th in 2:47:08. His Ironman Kona time was 8:19:26, and his combined time was 11:06:34.
Braden Currie was second in the challenge, with a combined time of 11:29:09. He placed 7th in today’s XTERRA with a time of 2:39:03.
The top amateur man was Philipp Widmann from Germany with a combined time of 12:50:29. He nudged out last year’s double champ Pablo Ureta from Argentina, whose combined time was 12:51:18, by just 50-seconds. Verena Eisenbarth won the women’s amateur double in 14:15:41.
