triathlon

consistently on or near the podium in Chennai, just behind professionally trained Ironman athletes.

a friend had a spare triathlon ticket and i said yes without knowing what i'd signed up for. classic. since then i've consistently finished on or near the podium in Chennai triathlons, right behind professionally trained Ironman athletes, as an amateur.

200 and 400km brevets

long-distance endurance cycling: BRMs of 200km and 400km.

cycling started because my mum got into it before me and wanted someone to carry her spare water bottles. that someone was me. it turned into BRMs, long endurance rides of 200km and 400km. the long part is weirdly meditative. it's mostly a mental game, and i like that.
