“I have such wild proportions that it took a while to figure out what works for me when it comes to fashion,” he explains. “I can’t just walk into a store and buy clothes, because very little actually fits me. Accessories give me a way to express myself in a way that clothes can’t.”
LePage’s interest in watches stretches back to his childhood, when he loved collecting the toy timepieces that were included in cereal boxes. Eventually, he would acquire a bright orange G-Shock watch that he wore throughout his teens. Now, as an owner of a Longines Legend Diver Watch, LePage’s growing collection of time- pieces embodies the same drive for precision and accuracy that he pursues as a decathlete.
“Track events come down not only to seconds, but hundredths and thousandths of seconds,” he says. “And in the decathlon, every second matters, and every point is vital. At this level, so little separates first from fourth — something I know all too well. Being able to know with precision what times you’re achieving in practice gives you confidence that all the hard work you’ve put in will pay off when it’s time to compete against the best in the world.”
