A 750 meter swim, 20 kilometer bike, and 5 kilometer run- sounds intimidating for any athlete. Now take away 99 percent of your eye sight. That’s how Amy Dixon completes a triathlon.

“My eye disease started 16 years ago. It’s called uveitis, which is an inflammatory disease of the retina caused by an underlying auto-immune disease. It caused scar tissue to form all around the peripheral of my retina, which block out all of my peripheral vision, leaving me with tunnel vision,” Dixon said.

Dixon does not let that stop her. She has completed nine triathlons in the past year, working with a partner that guides her through each course.
