Tricia Downing has always had the heart of a champion. As a life-long competitive athlete and competitive cyclist, nothing could stop her competitive spirit and her desire to excel in everything she did. Even when she was faced with her greatest challenge when her life changed forever. On September 17th, 2000, during a routine training ride, she was hit by a car. Tricia went from being a competitive cyclist to a paraplegic requiring a wheelchair for mobility. But that still didn't stop her. Following her dreams and fueled by her competitive spirit, Tricia made the transition from able-bodied cyclist to an athlete with a disability, and has continued to excel in sports. She has completed over 100 races, including marathons and triathlons, since her accident. She was the first female paraplegic to complete an Ironman triathlon and qualified for the Hawaii Ironman World Championship twice. Additionally, she was a member of Team USA at the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

In this episode, Tricia shares her goal of reaching the 2020 paralympics, her dream to see more disabled people in the media, and how we can be more inclusive to everyone.  Some of my great takeaways from our conversation include:  We all come to the world with something different.  How to see the world through the eyes of someone with a disability.  Watching our presumptions and projections when we come across someone who is different from ourselves.  In this conversation, Trish shares how her life has been an adventure since the accident that left her paralyzed seventeen years ago. She also shares just a little bit about what she’s accomplished through the years.
