Ironman Arizona with Type 1 Diabetes: An Interview with Blair Ryan

[Northerner]

Blair Ryan, Director of Media and Publications at Insulindependence, has had type 1 diabetes since 2000. She is an accomplished collegiate distance runner, triathlete and cyclist. After a long time of hearing lovely things about Blair, I had the chance to met her in person last month. She?s even better than rumor says. A striking redhead with a tall, athletic build, Blair immediately catches your eye. She?s not looking for attention, though. Only when prodded by a friend did she shyly mention that she?d just completed her first Ironman triathlon ( 2.4 miles of swimming, 112 miles of cycling, and 26.2 mile run). ?That?s amazing,? I said. ?I want to know more.? Blair was kind enough to share her story with us. If you want proof that diabetes doesn?t have slow you down, keep on reading.
