Chrissie Wellington has announced that she’ll be taking a break from
competing in
Ironman during 2012 to explore other opportunities, including the
forthcoming publication of her autobiography, A Life Without Limits.
Chrissie, who won her fourth World Championship in Kona, Hawaii, last
October and maintained her unbeaten record at Ironman distance – making
it 13 victories from 13 races – said of her decision, “I’ve given
absolutely everything to Ironman over the past five years. However, this
year I’ve decided to take a break as I would like to spend more time
focusing on other pursuits including dedicating more time to my chosen
charities, the publication of my book and more active promotion of the
sport in the UK, as well as giving myself the chance to explore and
seize new opportunities within triathlon and outside. I feel that I
wouldn’t be able to pursue all of these different goals whilst
simultaneously dedicating the energy and
time needed to compete in Ironman events and treat them with the respect
and complete dedication they deserve.
The past five years have been absolutely incredible and I am extremely
happy, proud and content with everything that I have achieved in the
sport – topping it all off with the race of my life in Kona last year. I
have always seen triathlon as a part of my life, rather than the be all
and end all, and am looking forward to a little more variety and balance
by pursuing other interests, as well as spending more time with my
family and friends.
I am really excited about what the future holds and being able to spend
more time around the sport without the commitment of full time ironman
training and racing”.
