Michelle Dillon Profile
Biography:
I began my career as a distance runner, where I went to the commonwealth games for 10,000m in Vancouver, Canada in 1994. After suffering from lots of running injuries I moved to triathlon at the age of 23.
Since my move to triathlon I have achieved many accolades of which I am very proud of, notably:- numerous World Cup podiums, European Triathlon Champion (2001), Bronze at the World Triathlon Championships (2002), British National Triathlon Champion (2003), World Duathlon Champion (2005) and I am a two time Olympian (2000 & 2004) with a 6th place at Athens. With Focus and Wiggle on board I look ahead to an exciting season in 2008. Now not only do I have the determination to win, I also have the support and cutting edge equipment to help me!
