Over the weekend, Dr. Brislin completed the Ironman 70.3 Atlantic City race. The race consists of a 1.2-mile open water swim, followed by a 56-mile bike ride, and capped off with a 13.1-mile run. Dr. Brislin trained hard and was able to finish the race. All of us here at Westphal Orthopedics are so proud of him. Be sure to congratulate him next time you're in the office!
