Simon, why did you choose Portland Oregon as a place to live and train. I live in Eugene Oregon.

[@SimonShi]

Thanks! My girlfriend lives there and I have a great group of masters swimmers I swim with.

[@MaxHeadspace9mm]

@@SimonShi
That’s a good reason!
Good luck in Texas! I will be praying for you that day! I am running the Eugene marathon Sunday. Pray for me if it comes to mind😉

[@sherlyguest5817]

Best of luck, Simon!!

[@MMichiganSalveRegina]

Good luck tomorrow. Question for you... can you estimate your threshold pace for run and power for bike **when you first got into triathlon** (not what it is now)? It'd be interesting for me to know how much you're just a natural engine and how much you can actually expect to grow in the sport.
Really just wondering if you came in running 6min KMs or 4 min KMs. Same with bike

[@SimonShi]

Thanks! I'm not sure you can estimate your threshold on bike and run without any tests.
I came in with literally no bike or run experience! First ftp test was 240 watts. Didn't really test running.

[@SimonShi]

42 minute 10k was like my fastest run.

Glhf mate!

Thank you!!
