My Sporting Journey

My journey into running began in 2011 during my first year of college. Initially, I joined the College Track team as a middle-distance runner, specializing in events like the 800m, 1500m, and 5000m. After college, I transitioned to longer distances and ventured into triathlons. In 2017, I completed my first full marathon with a time of 3 hours and 19 minutes, and my first half iron triathlon in 6 hours and 59 minutes. Motivated by these accomplishments, I intensified my training regimen, aiming to establish myself as one of the top amateur marathoners and triathletes in the country.
