SINGAPORE – Australian triathlete David Lowry will be turning heads at this weekend’s T100 triathlon at the Marina Bay owing to his unconventional choice of ride in the cycle leg – a BMX bike.

The 47-year-old is not doing it for eyeballs or laughs. He will be competing in memory of his late brother Damien, who died of suicide in 2022. He will wear an “R U OK” singlet during the race to raise awareness for mental health and raise funds for charity.
