The moment when I discovered my athletic potential was...

It was the year 2012 during my college cross-country championship. I was expecting to finish in 5th place but I got better of others during the race and went on to win the race. That was the moment I realized I was capable of much more than I had thought.

The most memorable moment of my sporting career so far...

Winning Ironman 70.3 Goa 2023. This was just 6 months after my Hernia Surgery, I had my doubts about myself and whether I would ever get back to my previous fitness. Post that race I feel that I'm definitely at a better mental fitness than I ever was.

The three biggest lessons I have learned so far in my athletic career are...

1. You need to be disciplined to achieve any of your goals else it will pull you down.

2. You need to have a lot of self-belief, without which you can never tap into your full potential.

3. Respect the nature of endurance, take things slow and steady, your patience will reap the fruits
