Memorie Collection:

My Experience

- Punit Shah

After the first event, where my participation was very spontaneous I was really pumped & excited for A.I.S.W 2.0. I had the chance to prepare and I worked on myself. Being an endurance athlete, I participated in (Category 1). I could complete the circuit in 4 mins 14 secs. Unfortunately, I have lost the video of my participation but here is a little glimpse of my performance.
