Injury forces Rutger to skip Ironman 70.3 Antwerp !

During the last week of June, Rutger had to return from his training camp in Font Remeu (France), because of an injury in his left leg. After detailed examination in the hospital, it was found not to be very bad, but meanwhile he already had missed the ITU world championchip LD in Lorient, France. The next race would be the Marc Herremans Classic ( Ironman 70.3 Antwerp). Unfortunately, last week Rutger was forced to go back to the hospital because of continuous pain in his left leg. It was found that the inflammation in his leg had come back. This means that he will have to forgo participation in Antwerp too. While he will be unable to run for the next two weeks, Rutger will continue his standard swim and bike training. Hoping that everything will go back to normal afterwards, he will be able to fully execute his training plan for Hawaii and start fully prepared in the World Championship!
