Puratos Demonstrator Jonathan Léger to Participate in Ironman Japan
Puratos Demonstrator from Belgium, Jonathan Léger participating in Ironman Japan, which will be held in Nagasaki on May 28, 2006.
Jonathan Léger, a patisserie demonstrator of Puratos International will participate in "2006 Ironman Japan Triathlon Goto Nagasaki" on May 28, 2006.
Jonathan Léger joined Puratos Headquarters when he was 23 years old as a demonstrator. Since then he has been playing an active role in introducing the range of Puratos' products, such as bread, patisserie and chocolate. From the beginning he traveled around 100 days a year to different regions all over the world, sharing ideas, introducing and promoting brand new products and innovations. Another part of his job has been demonstrating at national or international exhibitions, where Puratos shows the latest trends in bakery-pastry and chocolate business. Always ahead, sharing the newest trends, meeting different cultures, one of the reasons why he says he gets addicted to this job.
At the same time, he has devoted his "spare time" to participating in triathlon races around the world. Of note, he achieved 4th place in the race held in Korea last year. Due to this result, he became a member of the Belgian triathlon A-Team. Only athletes finishing in one of the top 5 places in Ironman or in one of the top 3 places in European / World Championships are invited to join this A-Team.
Ironman Japan Triathlon Goto Nagasaki is the only race of long triathlon (Swim: 3.8km, Bike: 180.2km, and Run 42.2 km) held in Japan at present. Jonathan will be the first Belgian to participate in this race. Some higher-ranking finishers may qualify to participate in world championship race held in Hawaii this year.
Go Jonathan, Go!
