Susan Bradley Cox Tri For Sight

Jody Shoup completed her first triathlon in 2014 and has been hooked ever since! She loves triathlon because it has helped her discover a sporty side of herself that she never knew existed, while also opening the door to new adventures and expanding her travels.

Jody’s first experience with Tri for Sight was especially memorable. She had an enjoyable moment with Susan, who encouraged her to sign up for a triathlon—and the rest is history! Jody is grateful for the friendships, experiences, and adventures that triathlon has brought into her life.

Louisa Summers has been competing in triathlons since 2012. She first got involved in the sport after tearing her ACL, which led her to training with Susan Bradley Cox and discovering the triathlon community.

Fifteen years later, Kimberly is still racing and still loves every minute of it.

For Kimberly, triathlon has been one of the highlights of her life. Beyond the challenge of competition, she cherishes the incredible friendships and sense of community she has found along the way.

Heather Ferguson has been a part of the triathlon community since 2019 and has loved every minute of it. One of the things she enjoys most is celebrating not only her own accomplishments but also the achievements of her fellow athletes.

As a dedicated committee member for Tri for Sight, Heather spent several years cheering participants on from the sidelines as a spectator and volunteer. In 2019, she decided it was her turn to race, and she hasn't looked back since.

Now, Heather is proud to give back to the event that inspired her by helping organize Tri for Sight while continuing to compete alongside the incredible community she loves.

Nate Williams has been competing in triathlons since 2018.

One of Nathan's first triathlons was Tri for Sight, making this year's race a meaningful way to close out his season. He's excited to return to an event that helped shape his triathlon journey and looks forward to celebrating another successful season alongside the incredible triathlon community.
