Shirin Gerami crosses the line at WTS Edmonton as Iran’s first and only female triathlete!
Thread and Shirin worked together to make the specialised kit that had to provide complete coverage with minimal effect on mobility and thermal burden. In a world of minimal, one-piece figure-hugging kit this seemed a tall order, but this was achieved with thoughtful design and selection of the coolest possible materials.
“They were comfortable, they looked awesome, they were easy to bike and run in and at no point in time did I wish I had a layer less.”
In a very short time window we were able to create toiles, produce artwork, source print and construct the final race kit. Shirin campaigned tirelessly for permission to race, which was finally granted the morning of the event.
