The thing is, Dave Bigoney is blind. Here is a pic of Dave ( on the right)  going into the water in today’s race.

    dave bigoney

    He has an amazing story. Four years after he lost his sight, a friend, who knew of Bigoney’s athletic background, suggested he do a triathlon. His first triathlon was the 2000 Red Hills Triathlon in Tallahassee, where he was attending Florida State at the time. “That was probably the hardest thing I had ever done since backpacking the Grand Canyon when I had my sight,” Bigoney said. “I was so psyched but I was learning as I went. I thought my butt was going to fall off after the bike and I got a cramp on the run, but I was hooked. Check out this video. It is an amazing story.
