XTERRA TAHITI
If the Xterra Tahiti looks like paradise from afar, mostly thanks to the enchanting swim in the Opunohu bay, as soon as the triathletes hit the MTB trails, it becomes hell on earth. The unrelenting rain, not expected at this time of year, drenched the paths and transformed them in mud runways. The French left nothing to chance to the international fleet. Brice Daubord, French Cross Triathlon champion 15 times flies through the event thanks to a superb swim and well-mastered MTB section. The unstoppable Cédric Fleureton, experienced athlete, kept his 2nd place in front of the young guns, Maxime Chané and Arthur Serrières (winner of the Xterra Greece and second in Itlay). The locals Teva Poulain and Nuumoe Lintz were 5th and 6th. The women were fiercely left behind with Carina Wasle winning and finishing an incredible 10th overall.
