My Best Athletic Moment

My best athletic moments include being the zonal champion in 100m sprint and long jump during my school years from 1993 to 1995. In dental college, I achieved the title of athletic champion and secured first position in the Wada Duathlon, involving cycling and running, in 2016. Additionally, I successfully completed the challenging Borivali national park tough run, covering 25 kilometers. These achievements highlight my passion for athletics and endurance sports throughout different stages of my life.

My 2024 Race Calendar

After a maternity hiatus of almost 2 years, I am starting again with 5km races and aiming to progress to 10km and 21km distances during the monsoon runs. My goal is to attempt the Philadelphia marathon later this year, marking a return to longer distance races and setting new personal milestones.

My Sporting Journey

I've always been an athlete since my school days, achieving Delhi zonal championships in both the 100m sprint and long jump. In 2015, I began cycling and won the Wada Duathlon, also completing a BRM 200 km cycling event. Cycling has since become a daily routine, covering 40 km regularly.

In 2017, I ventured into running, starting with 10 km distances and progressing to half marathons, including the challenging 25km Borivali National Park tough run and participating in the Satara hill run three times. Now, following a hiatus due to the birth of my 11-month-old daughter, I have resumed running with shorter distances of 2-5 km, marking a return to fitness after a gap of two years dedicated to our daughter's care.
