Extremely passionate about fitness and a self-confessed gym rat, strength training continues to be Ingit's first love. Having trained in gym for more than 15 years, Ingit wished to try his hand at Triathlon in order to explore the endurance sport as another dimension of fitness.
Having completed a couple middle distance triathlon races in India, his dream of becoming an Ironman led Ingit to devote more time to focussed and structured training for triathlons. Finally, on 12 Nov 2016, Ingit completed his first ever Ironman race in Langkawi, Malaysia and his love affair with the sport has grown stronger ever since.

Goal For 2019-20: To become India’s fastest female triathlete + Ironman Goa 2020
Another impressive addition to our squad, Supriya has been a swimmer since the age of 5 and has even broken the nation 400m swimming record back in the day.
Having got into triathlon only 2 years ago, there has been looking back and she continues to go from strength to strength. Supriya believes making her fears her strength and her never give attitude is what sets her apart. Having set a self goal for 2020 to break the sub-13 record of fastest Indian female to complete Ironman - she has partnered with Castelli to equip her with the fastest tai-apparel in the circuit. With Ironman 70.3 Goa around the corner, a shot at the World Championship seems inevitible.
