Day in the Life - Training with Simon Whitfield

ITU legend Simon Whitfield takes us through a day of his training.

His smile isn't fake... dude is pure hearted and looks genuinely happy... may the Lord continue to shine and bless that dude and his family

[AaronCCorbin]

Great to see how he make a commitment to make time for the family!

[Nevergiveupon]

20 years ago now training alongside this legend were some of the best 'Days in the life' I think we had in creating many champions.

A love the way he balances family life with his training. Being a Father is the most important thing. Great job Simon!! :)

Simon, the man, who was the boy, who is supported by the team, Jennie Pippa Evelyn, all the National Team athletes coaches trainers partners sponsors, all prepping together to meeting the Olympic challenge head on. That is what you should see when watching this video. A very classy "nod" to Tim Don followed up with a clear statement that it isn't over until it is over in London 2012. This video will be on my playlist for a long, long time. Thanks Simon and Specialized.

For everyone who wants to know what the song is, its called Map & Lantern by Wilderling. I downloaded them on bandcamp.com because I couldn't find it itunes or amazon.

[MrTomclarks]

Gotta love this guy! True olympic champion.

[rumoncarter]

For anyone into the music and wondering what it is, the band is called The Wilderling, an indie group from Simon's hometown of Kingston, Ontario (now living in Montreal), who were generous enough to let us use their tracks for the edit. Thanks, guys.

Even though he's not one of the best guys in the ITU he's my role model
He has a beautiful place to train, two beautiful kids, and he has a sense of humor
I'd take that over a string of world championships any day

[NiZmo]

These videos are great, I think it is awesome he decided to best the other guys' videos. It made me laugh!

[pmora]

What commitment! on both his wife's part and the athlete.

[Wilb]

Good man, one of my favourite ITU athelete.
