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

I have always been into some sport or the other throughout my life. Started with skating, basketball, and football while I was studying, and then moved on to rock climbing and running later in life. I noticed that the more I give into training and working towards a goal, the more I get back. I don't think I have discovered or hit my athletic potential yet, and that's the goal I have been trying to achieve with Cycling to push my body to its physical and mental limits.

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

Winning the Karnataka State Open trials held in Jan 2024.

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

1. You cannot expect quick results. Everything takes its time, and all you can do is keep working towards it consistently.

2. Never tie yourself down to results. Good or bad, everything passes.

3. Focus on the small things, and the bigger stuff will take care of itself
