Dixon will compete in the paratriathlon, which combines a 750-meter open water swim, a 20-kilomoter bicycle race finished with a five-kilometer road race, on Aug. 28 and 29
Amy Dixon has always been a competitor in her life. She started to ride in equestrian events at the age of five and was swimming in meets at six. She’s played soccer and was an “all-around sports geek” in high school, as she describes it.
This summer, the former UConn student will become the ultimate competitor as a member of the United States team at the Paralympic Games in Tokyo. Dixon earned a spot in the paratriathlon, which combines a 750-meter open water swim, a 20-kilomoter bicycle race finished with a five-kilometer road race.
