The first race of the year usually comes with emotion and excitement. This year it arrived at a sprint—wedged between tasks, exhaustion, and a 15‑minute nap that felt like a fight I’d already lost. Gerar isn’t just a competition; it’s a team exercise in acceptance and moving forward together, even when one of us is the weak link. A story about running, people, different rhythms, and the meaning that stays beyond the kilometers and the results.

Not for peace, not for the medal, but for that rare feeling that you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be, with the right people.
