Paratriathletes Shine at CAF World Paratriathlon San Diego
A number of athletes are just starting to shift their focus to triathlon, with the USA Paratriathlon National Championships set for late May and the ITU Paratriathlon World Championships in London in September. Aaron Scheidies, a TRI-6b athlete who hails from Seattle, Wash., just finished the Boston Marathon on Monday before jumping into his first multisport event in San Diego.
“It’s good to be back,” Scheidies said of his return to triathlon. “It’s good to race on the paratriathlon circuit, and it’s a good start on the road to Rio.”
