What’s a Pseudo Pro Triathlete, you ask?
Rupert Chen and Karen Siah are exemplary figures as they train like pro triathletes while still holding full time jobs. They are not amateurs either because they invest time, energy and money into their favourite sports and work hard to be a level above the rest.
In any sport, there are the Professionals (Pro), Semi Pros and the amateurs, therefore the Pseudo Pros fill the gap between Semi Pro and the amateurs.

Both Karen Siah and Rupert Chen are triathletes whom have complete one of the toughest triathlon, known as the ‘Ironman’ which encompasses 3.8km swim, 180km cycle and 42km run.
