Here's the full text:

"So 2 weeks ago I dislocated my shoulder and tore my labrum very badly ... I rehab it the best I could and came into this weekend hoping to have a smooth weekend without bad luck... my shoulder was feelling pretty okay going into competition but during the bike event my bike slipped and I fail on my bad shoulder and it came out again... I was waiting after to see what would happen but it felt like it was coming out of its socket so I decided to pull myself out and try to get a speedy recovery instead of maybe maybe being able to compete a little bit and not at full capacity with a big chance to injure myself even more.... please don't feel sorry for me this is just life and i guess it's a 2 year plan this time... btw sorry to everyone who put me in their top 10 pick em from reebok."

Leblanc-Bazinet's 2017 season had been pretty phenomenal, with a win at the 2017 Wodapalooza and a third place finish in the CrossFit Games Open. Hopefully she recovers fully and quickly from this injury and can get back into competition next year.
