Jones Breaks Own Record at Alcatraz

Sets Course Record in Eighth Win

Olympic Medalist and Holofiber® spokesperson Michellie Jones roared across the finish line at San Francisco’s Escape From Alcatraz triathlon on Sunday, June 6, 2004 – the eighth time Michellie has won this major competition. This time, Michellie set the course record, finishing the race in just 2:08:54 and beating her 2002 course record of 2:14:23.

A foot injury prevented Michellie from participating in the Alcatraz race in 2003, but she returned to the icy Bay of San Francisco and the demanding course this year, commenting that the race gets harder and harder to win every year as
it just gets more and more competitive.

“As an athlete you are always trying to find ways to improve your performance,” says Michellie. “Every single athlete trains extremely hard, and to get that extra edge you have to have a secret weapon. My secret weapon is Holofiber.

Since being introduced to Holofiber I have, by just wearing it, improved my recovery between sessions, which has helped me have better quality workouts. Recently I had a grade one tear to my left calf, which the doctors said would put me out of training for at least 3-4 weeks. The guys at Holofiber came to my rescue and made
me a sock-type garment. After wearing it for just two weeks I was back training hard.”
