Simon Says Tri! 🏊🚴🏃

[Unagi]

I remember watching him give his medal to a kid to inspire the next generation, that was the moment i knew this dude is special. All the way with you Simon!

[davidposada]

Pronto lo veré liderando las grandes carreras y sobre todo en la natación, eres un guerrero Simón 🥷

[finnfitzgerald]

You should definitely consider bringing the mohawk back!

[infovidasupps]

SO great to see how thankful you are

Hope to meet you one day buddy

[Vonner.]

Great job Simon! Hope to be up there with u some day!

[trbeyond]

Former pro here who was also a distance college swimmer. Totally agree - you can’t compare AG races to pro race. Totally different. And I think people don’t quite understand how fast the pros are now in the swim. Need to be close to world class swim bike and runner to have a shot at making it as a pro. Good luck in your journey!

[brianwalter]

Thanks for sharing your journey and lessons learned so far. Looking forward to seeing your future progression! Best wishes for your race at 70.3 Oceanside this weekend!

[CjayeMedia]

Looking forward to catching up in O'side! Great video.

[MultiWhatever]

God luck Simon! Always rooting for you!

[Sonic]

Thank you for sharing! Good luck this year. We are excited to follow you!

[kevindrews]

Simon. Thank you for the content. It is great to hear you speak from such a real perspective. As a 45 year old who just found triathlon less than a year ago you are such an inspiration. While I know I’ll never be a pro at this your attitude transcends triathlon to other aspects of life. Now I’m off to a run in preparation for IM Venice 70.3 in 32 days.

[DannyPimienta]

Good luck at Oceanside….I’ll make sure to add you to the IM tracker. Hoping to do my first sprint/oly in Colonial Beach VA in June

[GregJC]

Love your content and can’t wait to watch you at Oceanside!

[chelseahuang]

I love how loyal you are to your fans and how you take your time to respond to each comment on your vids :) I am currently training to run a half marathon. Do you have any tips (nutrition wise, esp on race morning and the days leading up to the race)? :)

[davishallman]

Thank you for sharing!! Best of Luck at Oceanside

[joshuatu]

Inspirational Simon! My favourite content on YouTube by far. Smash Oceanside 💪

[mikeperry]

Go get Oceanside SS!! I’ll be rooting for you.

[OldFashioned]

Nice video and it’s great to see someone that is living their dream irrespective of the money .. 👍

[ericmain]

Good luck at Oceanside this weekend boss

[blackschnauzer]

What kind of finish times are the aim for 70.3 and full in terms of turning pro (other than as fast as possible ;) )
