As Featured in The Coast News: It doesn’t appear anything can stop Encinitas resident Amy Dixon.
The 45-year-old Paralympic triathlete, who moved to Encinitas in 2017 to better focus on training, is finishing her preparations for competition at the Tokyo Games next month despite her fair share of setbacks.
After missing the opportunity to compete in Japan last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Dixon, who has lost 98% of her vision due to a rare autoimmune disorder called multifocal choroiditis, again qualified for the Tokyo Paralympics earlier this month.
