Although I’m back in the office morning, I had the best time this weekend doing 70.3 miles of triathlon at the amazing @clashendurance event in Miami. The concept of these events is to pair offseason @nascar venues with multisport events to create an all-inclusive series of programs inside these awesome stadiums. Representing the pale and out of biking shape Northeastern contingent, it was so invigorating to spend time around like-minded people. I did my first triathlon in medical school and have been doing them ever since. Although I thought I was done with these longer style events, the past two years of pandemic have made me realize how important it is to goal set, push yourself outside of your comfort zone, and to reengage with community. As in every race, about mile 10 of the 13.1 mile run I was thinking “do I really want to do this?” But as the finish line came into view and I had my Ricky Bobby moment on the speedway track (the last lap was around the speedway) I was again reminded that it’s important to keep pushing ahead, it’s always worth it! So for all of our community of friends, patients, athletes, and the like – set a goal, go do it, and don’t stop! #goals #swimbikerun
