That's not really how it sounded though. "...barring severely disabled people" makes it sound like they think severely disabled people can't be really fit. Sure, there are those than can't get fit and have to put up with just watching their calories so they can at least be slim (as opposed to fit and toned) The bit I was grumbling about was the way they stated it... To me it reads as though being badly disabled means you absolutely, definitely can't be fit. It's hard and it's rare (the workout facilities for people like me are very limited) but it's possible for severely disabled people to be super fit! It's much harder work than for a normal person but even extremely disabled people can be seriously fit!! Obviously a badly disabled person can't do an ironman regardless of their fitness (even with some serious adaptations) but I'd wager there are many that technically have the strength, if not the accessibility! Hell, I think a few would do better than Ragen did! They could possibly do the swim and could probably manage the biking section with an adapted bike. It's the running section where people like me would most likely be completely unable to even attempt it, regardless of fitness levels or adaptations. (Congrats on the baby though!! Always nice to add a mini-shitperson to our flock!! :) <3 xx)
