The Life and Writings of a Blind Women
Blind Triathlete? - You betcha!
People have all kinds of reasons for participating in endurance sports. Some do it to race, some to challenge themselves physically and/or mentally and some just because it provides a healthy lifestyle. I started participating in triathlons for two reasons. I was extremely overweight and unhealthy and I had been legally blind for about six years. While I needed to get physically healthy, what I really needed to do for myself was understand that being blind did not have to change the spirit of who I am. So with the help of my Achilles International triathlon family, and good friends I’ve found along the way, I train and participate in Sprint and Olympic distance triathlons as well as 5K running events and half-marathons.
