Shark Tank India Season 2: Co-Founder and CEO of SUGAR Cosmetics, Vineeta Singh, who’s seen among the many panel of judges on the present ‘Shark Tank India 2‘, is not only an entrepreneur but also an athlete who participated in a number of marathons and triathlons. Recently, she participated in a triathlon and found it really challenging as she had a panic attack but still she managed to compete in race.

In a note about her experience, she said: “I FINISHED LAST. I’ve at all times struggled with swimming & sadly all triathlons begin with swims, that too in open waters. Last weekend the Shivaji Triathlon was certainly one of my hardest ever. A windy, uneven lake leading to a panic assault that lasted virtually an hour.”

She continued, “In spite of all the pep talk from Sham & Kaushik, I couldn’t breathe, so I asked them to carry on. I got on the rescue boat & decided to quit. The idea of quitting was painful but Shivaji Lake looked like the kind of beast I had no courage to tackle that morning.”

VINEETA SINGH SURVIVED PANIC ATTACKS BUT CONTINUED TO COMPETE

“As I sat shivering on the boat, I saw an incredible nine-year-old brave her way through the waves. Although I was ready to throw in the towel & made peace with it – this wasn’t a critical race, I hadn’t trained much so it was OK to head back to my children, tell them mama needed to train harder in open water & try next time. But was I ready to get my first DNF? Unlike most triathlons, this one didn’t have a timing cutoff, so what was my excuse? What would it take to somehow stop the negative train of thought & slowly paddle my way through the 1 km?”

Sharing extra concerning the incident and the way she was rescued, Vineeta mentioned: “And identical to that, I jumped again in. Paddled a bit, tried floating on my again, tried a few strokes, then went again to the rescue rope. Repeated this just a few hundred occasions. What’d usually take me 39 minutes took me 1.5 hrs. As I lastly bought out of the water, I appeared again and I used to be completely the final one out (a lot to the aid of the Navy rescue crew). Threw up all that lake water I’d drunk & simply sat down for just a few minutes earlier than getting on the bike and working.

“Had to savour the moment I’d visualised for the last 30 mins. Also, my knees were still wobbly. Looking back, I wasn’t mentally as strong as I could’ve been. Mental strength like other muscles needs regular training. The visualising, the breath-work, and the positive thinking could’ve started earlier, but one learns more on tough days & I’m grateful. While most people had finished the race by 10:30 a.m., I was still finishing my run at 12:20 & yet there were 100 Navy soldiers cheering in the heat. God bless the whole unit at INS Shivaji.”

“I came back & told my children: Mama finished last today, but mama didn’t quit,” she concluded.
