Pathak hails from Guwahati.
The grueling event demands athletes to conquer 3.8 km of open-water swimming, 180 km of cycling, and 42.2 km of running, all within a single day. Anjan emerged as the only participant from Assam to cross the finish line this year.
His journey has been nothing short of inspirational. From running marathons to attempting triathlons, he has steadily pushed his limits. Despite failing to complete Ironman Victoria just a month earlier, Anjan refused to give up. Without a coach, he intensified his training and returned stronger to Tallinn, proving his resilience.
