I am a triathlete and will be starting OD school in Fall 2021. I typically train anywhere from 10 to 14 hours / week, depending on which part of the season it is.

Will there be enough free time for me to continue to train for triathlons as an OD student? I really hope I will not have to leave my bike back at home, but I'm ready to give up as much of my leisure time as needed to become a successful doctor.
