![]() Dr. Elliott Bennett-Guerrero serves as a professor and the vice chairman for clinical research at Stony Brook Medicine in New York. A triathlete in his personal life, Dr. Elliott Bennett-Guerrero has completed three Ironman half-triathlons. Triathlons are popular within New York State, with several being held over the course of a year. A popular one that many individuals participate in is the River Rock Triathlon. It was last held in August of 2016. Athletes competed in feats such as swimming in the Peconic River, biking a 40k bike race, and running a 10k. Although it was extremely hot, with temperatures over 90 degrees, everyone but five participants managed to finish. The Volunteer Ambulance Corps stood by in case of emergencies. The Riverhead Fire Department offered a pumper truck to spray cold water near the finish line, so runners could cool off and feel refreshed as they finished the race. Although many of the athletes were local, some came as far away as California and even from different countries, including Ireland.
