Another feather in Indian Army’s Cap! Lieutenant General Anil Puri has become the first serving Lieutenant General-rank officer of the Indian Army to complete France’s oldest cycling event, 1,200-km Paris-Brest-Paris circuit.

The 56-year-old officer completed the circuit on August 23 by cycling non-stop for 90 hours. Over 31,125 riders have managed to complete Paris-Brest-Paris Randonneur ever since the event started in 1931.

The participants, having exposed to the enervating nature of the cycling event, had to put up with extreme weather temperatures during the ride. Besides, the participants were required to climb around 31,000 feet in completing the entire circuit from Rambouillet. Lt. General Puri, in order to meet the challenges during the ride, has been conditioning himself, physically as well as mentally, besides following a strict diet regime. Puri said,

Lieutenant General Anil Puri – Indian Army

As Indians, we don’t get to cycle on hilly terrain. Our cities are mostly flat. Hence, we get tired easily because of poor muscular development.

90 hours translates to almost four days non-stop. How many of us under 50-years of age can actually sustain beyond a day without sleep to achieve such a feat? The lieutenant managed to do that in his late 50s to become the first one from the Indian Army to do so. Twitter was in complete awe and appreciation for Lieutenant General Anil Puri. Here are some of the motivating and congratulatory messages for our defence personnel.

unbelievable.. its a great feat. ??. People should just imagine what younger staff of armed forces can do if a 56 year old officer can do this at age of 56. 90 hours NON-STOP cycling.

I think age just a number ????
