Congratulations our beast friend Dr.Pravin Patil (Sr Physiotherapist,Pune) on this victory.
What started as a dream 4 years ago… became an unforgettable reality on 10th May at the Ironman 70.3 Da Nang Vietnam 🇻🇳
**“Anything is possible when you believe in yourself and trust the process.”**
🏊 1.9 km Swim
🚴 90 km Cycling
🏃 21.1 km Half Marathon Run
A total of 70.3 miles of endurance, discipline, and mental strength.
From learning swimming from scratch…
To overcoming my fear of water…
From controlling panic to calming my mindset…
This journey transformed me not only physically, but mentally too.
The last 6 months were filled with disciplined practice, early mornings, sacrifices, pain, consistency, and countless hours of preparation.
Every swim session taught me confidence.
Every cycling ride tested my endurance.
Every run pushed my limits beyond comfort.
Behind this medal is the silent sacrifice of my wife Manisha and my kids — I could not give enough time to them, but their support kept me moving forward every single day ❤️
A heartfelt thank you to my coach Dr Yogesh Satav and Team Runaholics for guiding and believing in me throughout this journey.
Special thanks to Pramod Zende who stayed with me from practice sessions till the final event day.
Thank you to my nutritionist Neeta Dhamajani for helping me stay strong and race-ready.
And lastly, sincere gratitude to Omkar Joker for all the support at Da Nang — from bookings, cycle assembly, and swim practice sessions to building my confidence at the last moment.
This medal belongs to everyone who stood beside me in this journey.
The journey of an Ironman is never alone.
