Throughout her time in premed, Parikh continued to stay active, but it was a move to the San Francisco Bay area during her fellowship that gave her an appreciation of the great outdoors. She began biking to work and even swimming in the San Francisco Bay, leading into her first triathlon, which she completed while pregnant with her first child.
