Why? Thoughts on Paratriathlon…
A lot of people have asked me questions about paratriathlon, how I got involved in it, and my upcoming race at the end of May at the USA Paratriathlon National Championships. So I thought I’d take the opportunity, about one week from the day I depart for Texas, to share some of my responses and thoughts with everyone.
