A diagnosis of Crohn's disease and an ileostomy hasn't stopped Ryan Stevens from competing in triathlon races. He swam through high school and college and was sidelined by Crohn's just after falling in love with triathlon. He's worked his way back twice from devastating flare-ups to get back to swim, bike, run, and now to the ultimate race: the IRONMAN. Come with us as we relive the IRONMAN Triathlon in Madison, Wisconsin and discuss how Ryan prepared and competed while living with IBD and a permanent ostomy.
