AARON SCHEIDIES: My name is Aaron Scheidies from just outside Seattle, Washington. 39 years old. I competed for Team USA in the Paralympics in Rio for-- for cycling. But my real sport is-- is triathlon.
I've been a seven time world champion. Being a blind athlete is that it's really important to-- to train with our guide. It's really a team sport. We have to work together on all these things.
