Bollywood actor Milind Soman has successfully finished the Ironman Triathlon. The 50-year-old posted an update on his Twitter handle about the completion of his effort
Considered among the hardest competitions in the world, The Ironman Challenge comprises of a series of long-distance triathlon races, organised by the world Triathlon Association and consists of a 3.86 km swim, 180.25 km bicycle ride and a 42.2 km run, which occur in that order and the Soman finished the trio in a span of 15 hours and 19 minutes.
Soman had been putting in hours of hard work, in preparation for this Triathlon and it seems all those hard yards have reaped benefits for him now.
Talking about the work put in by him, Milind said that constant monitoring of the body can help in achieving such a feat.
Consistently monitoring your body is the key: Soman
“If you are sufficiently aware and monitor your body’s response at every stage in terms of nutrition and pace, it will all come together. I wanted to gift myself something special in my 50th year and I am glad I could do this.I prepared really well and it was a great experience,” Soman told the Indian Express.
Accompanying Soman were three other people- Dr Kautubh Radkar, Hiren Patel and Prithviraj Patil.
“I learnt swimming just a year ago for this event,” Patel said.
“The weather kept changing. Early morning, it rained and then it was very hot,” Dr Padkar said.
“The course in Zurich is challenging, especially on a cycle, but it was tough due to the hot weather and head winds with a speed of 15-20 kms per hour,” Patil said.
