CRONACA
Ruben Ruzafa pare proprio inarrestabile: il due volte iridato a Maui, vince anche l’XTERRA USA proprio davanti alla star statunitense Josiah Middaugh, campione in carica; terza piazza per il messicano Mauricio Mendes. Middaugh vince l’XTERRA U.S. Pro Series per il secondo anno consecutivo per la 10^ volta e il primo americano in classifica ai National Champ.
Anche Flora Duffy continua la sua stagione trionfale: dopo aver vinto le tre “regional championships”, ora è arrivato il successo nell’USA Championship che le ha permesso di primeggiare anche nel rank finale del circuito “stars&stripes”. Netto il vantaggio sulla seconda, la cilena Barbara Riveros, e sulla vincitrice del 2013, nonché 2 volte iridata a Maui, la scozzese di stanza a San Diego Lesley Paterson che chiude il podio.
