DANAO, CEBU—

Bradley Weiss pulled off a repeat after ruling Xterra Philippine­s on a scorching Sunday morning here.

Weiss clocked three hours and 16 seconds, overcoming what he claimed as the toughest race he’s ever been in.

“I’ve been racing profession­ally for six years now all over the world and this was the hardest and hottest race I’ve ever done,” said Weiss.

The 26-year-old Weiss finished third in the swim leg behind Ben Allen and Sam Os- borne but the South African picked up the pace in the bike and run stages.

Carina Walse of Austria topped the female pro category in 4:07:49.

Allen’s wife, Jacqui Slack, failed to finish the race due to dehydratio­n.
