Congratulations. I get it beating Ari on his mechanical but, a wins a win. Everything has to go right to win, so many variables. All you can control is your strategy, effort and grit and this time you had enough of these to get the outcome.
So fun to watch you race! In the mass swim start, I was able to see first hand what race take out speed looks like. It was also great to see your interactions with fellow athletes and race volunteers. Class act. Well done Simon!
Congrats Simon. I wondered if you could do a video discussing how your technique changes using a wetsuit. Most triathlon sites are targeted at non swimmers, and as a former swimmer taking up triathlon (much more amateurly) I have really struggled to get used to the body position with the wetsuit to the extent that have got in and stressed out too much in races to make the wetsuit worth it!

It was a great race and really helpful recap. Enjoy the win, regardless of other circumstances you did what you needed to do. Control the controllables. Excited to see your continued success and journey. Now I got to go swim.
Ari always has a mechanical, that is just how he races. Like Verstappen said: ”If my mom had balls she would be my dad”. That is just how racing is and you should enjoy the win regardless

Thanks!! Yeah, now imagine 30 other people having that same take out speed... Just chaos for Ironman pro starts lol.

Hey im like, stupid tall (6'7") you know a good wet suit brand thatd be long enough to use
I think my sponsor, Sailfish, you’ll be an XL. That’s super tall!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks!!!!!!!

Omg 😂 thank you 😊
Look good in the hat!!!
Thanks 😊
So you're saying that winning left you feeling a little ... flat?
I'm happy! Ari just got a flat and I knew he would have smoked me in the run.
You need to Check your electrolytes and magnesium levels..
Yes! I do!
Why are Pros doing this race ???? It just seems ashamed that you guys are taking places away from normal competitors, just saying
Race director invited us to compete in this to promote the event
@@SimonShi then you guys should have a Pro division …. Come on dude , you are a Pro racing against normal athletes, that’s a shame
You've moved on from the main point of triathlon. Most people don't think like you do regarding this. Just saying.
@@yesitis1395 so if it’s just for fun , no entry fee
Congratulations, Simon!
Thanks 😊
