Marathons and Triathlons
Lara’s dedication to fitness extends beyond the gym. She often participates in marathons and triathlons to challenge herself further. In 2017, just three months after giving birth to her first child, she ran a half marathon in Palm Beach, Florida. She also completed the New York Marathon in 2015, covering 26.2 miles in just over four hours.
In 2023, Lara achieved third place in the Tampa General Hospital Loggerhead Triathlon, a grueling race involving a five-mile run, a 3/8-mile swim, and a 13-mile bike ride. Despite the demanding course, she finished in an impressive 1 hour and 19 minutes.
Horseback Riding
Lara is also passionate about horseback riding. She frequents a barn in Northern Westchester, New York, and rides every chance she gets. Despite suffering fractures to both wrists in a fall from a horse two weeks before her wedding, she continued riding, demonstrating her unwavering dedication. “There are inherent risks that we all take in life. When you truly love something, it’s worth it. I wouldn’t take back one day of riding — stuff happens,” she said. She had to wear casts to her wedding, but she stated online, “Fortunately, my wedding planner and my designer came up with some fabulously bedazzled gloves to try and blend these casts.
Even after another accident in 2016 that resulted in a broken collarbone, Lara returned to the saddle, proving her resilience.
