And then I Tri-ed

Let it pass It must have been around the twin hills 2018, when I was at an LBS getting my bike serviced for the ride. I heard it for the first time that the Ironman event was going to be opened for registrations. I just let it pass. Having learnt swimming just a couple of…

My sky, my limit…

A year ago, I rode my first BRM. Just September this year I competed my first ever SR (one each of 600k, 400k, 300k and a 200k) series. I used to look at the BRM calendars during the earlier seasons. I saw one week SRs that used to happen in the Delhi circuit. I seriously…
