The Superhero triathlon, has a core tennent at its heart, to enter you must be disabled. Disability is a word I have come to dislike, along with the term suffering, it denotes something negative, identifies that"something is wrong with you" when in reality i have learnt to live with the challenges presented, by my dodgy lungs, awkward hip and stiff, painful joints.
Unfortunately, the event I entered, has been postponed to August 2022, on account of the Covid pandemic. Social distancing can not be guaranteed and with a group of athletes who are likely to be more vulnerable to Covid, the risk simply can not be taken.
Superhero Tri 2021 was scheduled for today. RIght now, I should be in my hotel, proudly wearing my medal and drinking champagne.
But I'm not, instead I'm planning lots of events and looking forward to taking part in 2022.
