Sharing a slew of pictures on social media, Saiyami said that this race was one of the ‘toughest’ that she had ever participated in. The actress added that while flying to Italy, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines refused to let her board because of an error on their end. Even her bike bags hadn’t been updated in their system.

Saiyami wrote that after hours of calls, stress and uncertainty, she was finally able to land in Italy. But the troubles grew from there. The city welcomed her with a scorching 30°C heat; she swam in an ocean full of jellyfish, pushing her body that had already been through a lot.


But even amid all the chaos, Saiyami found the will to fight. She even completed the race 20 minutes faster than her previous 70.3 feat. Taking it as a lesson, the Ghoomer actress revealed that what she loves about the sport is that one cannot control everything, but they can control how others respond to the situation.
