In this segment, Rajen takes us through his journey into fitness with his move to Singapore in 2011 as a senior executive with Mastercard. He shares how he chanced upon the concept of triathlons, having casually signed up for one such on a vacation to Phuket in 2013 and though he felt that he would ‘die at various points in the event’ he was hooked on to it at the end and wanted to carry on testing his limits even as he sat in an ice tub trying to help his body recover from the shock of having endured the race.  It was The Metasprint series in Singapore, however, which helped him approach the triathlon in a methodical manner which was key to help him approach the sport systematically and eventually see them as fun. He shares how he loves biking and how he struggled with swimming having learnt it only five-six years ago but persisted anyway. Rajen now looks forward to his training which is engineered seamlessly within his daily schedule.  When we recorded our conversation, Rajen was training to undertake the Challenge Roth triathlon event, an equivalent of the full IRONMAN event and which he successfully completed this July at Bavaria.  Happy Listening!
