Tendonitis 3 weeks before and food poisoning the night before a big race is usually enough to put someone off. But not for Arjun, completing every triathlete in Southeast Asia’s comeback race with a strong 4th in category and 11th overall. With strong performance improvements year-on-year since 2018, the year he got introduced to PURPOSE, Arjun’s been wearing PURPOSE ever since. How much of those improvements are attributed to his tenacity and vision to be a better athlete and PURPOSE? We’ll never know. What we know is, that we are extremely glad to come along on his journey.
Another athlete who swears by PURPOSE, Philipp only started triathlon less than 5 years ago. A pure vegan, Philipp chose a plant-based lifestyle because of environmental, health and ethical reasons. Although he is aware that he is fighting a daily uphill battle, he hopes his plant-based lifestyle can inspire others to adopt the same for the health of our planet and oceans.
In the first real test of the new PURPOSE World Triathlon racing tri suit with Hydrophobic quality, the kit performed spectacularly over the long-distance half Ironman race. Worn by Ng Wei Quan from Singapore who placed 3rd in his category at the Ironman 70.3 Da Nang recently.
Hot on the heels of his Ironman World Championship victory at St. George Utah, we interviewed New Zealander Matt Kerr and asked about his feelings, thoughts and future plans. And, of course, what he thinks of his racing kit.
