Devin Rettke
Devin Rettke is not like most triathletes; he does not have the pleasure of eating whatever he wants or training as much as he wants. Instead Devin is required to train while hooked up to wires and looking at numbers. These numbers are not HR, Cadence or Speed, but instead they are his insulin levels. At the age of 9, Devin was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Devin is now on a mission to become the youngest diabetic athlete to complete an Ironman! Through this journey he hopes that he will be able to inspire and encourage teens and kids with diabetes and other health issues, to get out and pursue their goals. Devin says, “Any goal is obtainable with hard work and courage.” Please continue to follow and support Devin throughout his journey!
