Before we post a race recap from the Badin Lake Triathlon, we have to give a shoutout to race director, Kassie Taylor. Talk about an AWESOME event! From the beginning, Kassie went above and beyond to support visually impaired participants. There was a separate VI category for awards, visually impaired athletes/guides had a separate color for swim caps, their own bike rack, AND she made an announcement about the VI participants at the beginning of the race! Kassie, you are the gold standard when it comes to inclusion for physically challenged athletes. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!! ❤️ #goachilles @ Badin Lake Triathlon

PARA GUIDE
Davian Robinson crushed it at the Badin Lake Tri this morning! His bike split with his pilot Paul was over 23mph and he ran a 24:59 5k with his guide Gray. He immediately wanted to congratulate the other visually impaired race participants, as well as the many racers who spoke to him. DJ is an athlete and a leader, way to go DJ! Thank you to Kassie the incredible race director for having us at the Stanly County Family YMCA event today!
