Pete Jacobs out of IM Melbourne

Due to an injury, 2011 Ironman World Champion runner-up Pete Jacobs has regrettably pulled out of Ironman Asia Pacific Championships in Melbourne.

“It saddens me to have to pull out of a race that I was so excited to compete in, but I have to take on board the advice of experts I work with to ensure I am in the best possible condition for the long term and especially Kona in October” says Jacobs. “The injury involves some excessive tightening of the muscles around my right hip, which has lead to muscle imbalances and other issues that I need to sort out so I will focus on rebuilding my 2012 season and target a racing comeback in June.”

Pete will still make an appearance at Ironman Asia Pacific in Melbourne in support of the event and his sponsors.

As 2011 quickly draws to a close and athletes start to plan their 2012 race year, many start to wonder how they are going to get to the start line and who is going to help them get there.

Before deciding on who best meets your coaching needs, we recommend you always ask the question of any coach, “What are your qualifications and your experience as a coach?” Read more
