Dear Tribe,
Wednesday July 6th was my first PR day as a co-leader. There was a small crowd for both 5:28 and 6:28 it was quiet and there was maybe a handful of PRs earned. Paul mentioned to me that its a quieter day for tribe members in general because well ; its a BEAST of a workout. I kept thinking well maybe its because of the holiday season most people are away and just not feeling like PRing ; to many hot dogs and beers is no equation for a PR.
To continue the hype of summit Emma Raviv wanted to share a personal story about how it changed her life.
All Tribes Lead to Ontario
It was a late Friday morning about two years ago when I cracked open a bar exam textbook and couldn’t focus. Many of us know what that’s like; I was still buzzing from that morning’s workout at the Massachusetts Avenue bridge, having talked to Christine Power (then of the Boston tribe) about NP Summit. She had an open spot on her team. Did I want it?
At around 6:39AM #Paulleak and I sent everyone off in three large groups to tackle PR day. We see Natalie who was looking very anxiously past the grotto for her friend Jenn who was apparently 1 minute away. #Paulleak asked Natalie about how long ago did she receive that text message; her reply was about three minutes ago. What a good friend Natalie was to wait for Jenn to get there to get her workout started. This my friends is called accountability. Jenn missed the bounce and the awkward first timer introductions. Lew Leone snapped your finish Jenn and Natalie I am glad you were both here. We look forward to seeing you soon.
Today is a good day.
Maybe that’s an understatement: Today is a fucking awesome day.
I started my day with close to 300 athletes—some complete strangers, some very close friends—and ended it with a really nice conversation. In a scurry of hugging a few sweaty fellow runners, at the end of the workout I met “Debi.”
