Subject: Wheelchair Use
Hi

I have started doing Triathlons but as a result of Osteoarthritis (knees and hips) I am unable to run any more.

I know most events will allow me to complete only the swimming and cycle legs. I was advised that I can arrange with the organizers on an event to complete the running portion in a racing wheelchair. Is there anyone out there has done it like this before that can offer advice?

Cheers Rikus

Thousands of strokes, cranks and pushes later, I did my first sprint triathlon as a wheelchair racer. What a blast!
