Adrenal Insufficient Warrior Athlete

Tri #1 of 4 is in the books. Had a great time at the Badin Lake Triathlon! Remember it is CAH Awareness Month! This CAH Warrior is showing everyone that getting out there and pushing yourself is important. Thanks to The Wife, for cheering me on and taking the pictures! #CAHAwarenessMonth2018 #ChildrensLA #CARESFoundation #CampCortisol #MagicFoundation

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!

Excited to have Caroline and Alexandra racing at Badin Lake Triathlon this year! So exciting to support these awesome athletes where no barriers stop them from achieving their goals! :)

It’s #TimeTrialTuesday! (Or #TandemTuesday, if you’re all about that tandem life 🚲🚲.) Check out this awesome shot of Achilles Minneapolis athlete, Randi Strunk, and her guide, Caroline Gaynor, during the bike leg of IRONMAN Texas. Huge thanks to Scott Flathouse Photography for capturing this moment! On Saturday, Randi completed her first full Ironman triathlon! Way to go, Randi! We’re excited for the Badin Lake Triathlon on June 2nd, where a couple of our Achilles Charlotte athletes will make the jump from running into multisport racing. If you’re interested in becoming a guide for blind/visually impaired athletes, send us a message! We welcome people of all ability levels.
