September 22, 2008 - Over the weekend while competing in the Ironman 70.3 Cancun race Michellie Jones was forced to withdraw while in the lead on the run because of a slight tear in her right calf.
With great regret Michellie has also decide to withdraw her entry from the 2008 Ford Hawaii Ironman World Championships in Kona.
In a statement released today Michellie has this to say;
"One of things that I learnt from my disastrous defence of my Ironman World Championship title last year in Kona is that the Hawaiian Ironman is not a place to be unless you are 100 percent. I am really looking forward to coming back to Kona in 2008 with avengence. I am extremely disappointed and would like to sincerely thank all my Sponsors and Freinds for their support."
Once the injury is resolved Michellie plans to race several more long course events to finish out the season.
This week Michellie will be attending the Las Vegas Interbike Trade Show.
