An extra category has been approved in the para triathlon discipline on the ITU circuit of racing. What does this mean? Well simply put, it makes it a little more fair for the below knee amputees that have a high mobility such as myself and a few others.<\/p>\n<p>The season will start off with Nationals, followed by Africa Champs in May.<\/p>\n<p>With a few carefully selected races thereafter, I will try to earn as many points as possible in order to make the Elite start list at the Grand Final in Rotterdam later this season.<\/p>\n<p>My ultimate goal for the 2017 season is to podium at World Champs!!
