  • Spongeanator, that 5:29 time on the finish clock is the running time from 1st wave that started about 1 hour before I started, and after I had been hanging around at the finish line for about 20 minutes. They don't reset the clock for each wave.

  • We feature Bill Carlson on the Big Blue Test video. In 1983, he was the world's first person with type 1 diabetes to Ironman. For every view the video gets, a child with diabetes in need gets a week of life-saving insulin. Please share it to help save the lives of children with diabetes!

  • Not to take anything away - but when he crossed the finish line it said 5 hours 29 min - thats a half ironman - but still a good effort

  • IDDM 10 years. This guy is AWESOME. I love the look on his face at the end of the race. people are collapsing before the finish line and he doesn't even look tired.

  • Get the Ray Allen Muze premium T-shirt and help fund research looking to cure juvenile diabetes. 100% proceeds go to JDRF. Get yours at the Muze Clothing website.

  • I'm a type 1 diabetic and I just got into triathlon this past year. I have 4 races under my belt - 2 sprint distance and 2 olympic distance races. I'm hoping to complete a half ironman in 2010 and an ironman in 2012. This video is very inspiring... the only thing I can recommend for those with the disease is get into exercise!! being active is my #1 defense against complications...

  • I am a insulin dependent diabetic for 25 years and that was amazing GOD BLESS HIM.

  • Jay how long have u had Type 1? I've had it 23 yrs. Growing up I was very athletic and never knew sickness - I was a state volleyball champ - I ran track and hurdles in high school - I used to jog 3 miles a day - then at the age of 24 I was diagnosed with type 1 - I need some motivation lately since now Ive got some complications can u help?

  • hello mike

    do u have diabetes type 1 ,bec i have it .

  • Amazing. I am a personal trainer with type 1 diabetes. I didn't know I had it until I had been working as a trainer for six months. Of course I had to stop doing that, as I was killing my body. I don't understand how you can do what you do, other than you have an amazing metabolism. Well done, I wish I was like you.
