038 - My Journey to the Paralympics - Katie Kelly

We are only days away from the Rio Paralympics and our guest in this episode will be there. And what an incredible story she will take with her. After experiencing degenerative hearing loss from a young age, Katie Kelly learned in her 20s that she was also going blind. A few months before her 40th birthday, she was declared legally blind. Katie’s response - get on the phone to Triathlon Australia to and learn about paratriathlon eligibility. That phone call sparked a remarkable journey - from Weekend Warrior to competing on the world stage, winning events and becoming a world champion. And now Katie is on her way to compete in the pinnacle of her sport - but not before she dropped in to the Team Guru Podcast to tell us all about it. Katie’s story is probably the most uplifting I’ve ever heard - and she is certainly the most positive person I have ever met. Enjoy!
