On today's show we are working alongside the Toronto Triathlon Festival Presented by Raymond James in what is our second episode of the Life Well Lived Podcast Series.
In the First episode you heard from two of the Triathlon Together ambassadors Michael Telpner and Kate Wallis. We spoke on some excellent topics like what Triathlon Together meant to them and we discussed the barriers of entry and access to help for new triathletes.
So for episode number two we are pleased to welcome on the 4x Olympian, 2x Olympic Medalist, 14 x World Cup Winner and the very first triathlete to ever win gold at an Olympic triathlon event; Former Canadian Triathlete, Simon Whitfield!
In this episode we talk about a wide variety of topics from the Olympics, KONA, the Toronto Triathlon Festival, Lionel Sanders, Training Tips, and a ton of motivation and inspiration. It’s got a bit of everything for all types of triathletes and its super fascinating to hear about all these topics from his perspective.
Now full discloser here, one of the crazy hurdles as a podcaster for me is planning ahead for episode recordings. Simon and I sat down back in Mid November 2019 to record this podcast, WAY back before we ever dreamed of the disruptions that laid ahead with the COVID-19 Pandemic. It’s crazy to see how far we’ve come since then, but the optimism and his story-telling still shines through and only gives us a brighter outlook on our current landscape.
Simon has a big spot in his heart for the Toronto Triathlon Festival. He helped launch the TTF back in 2012, he’s raced at the TTF, he worked with the TTF to implement his vision of Triathlon Together at the race, and he attends every year to be apart of the festival. What started as a mutually beneficial arrangement for Simon and the race’s founder, Jeff Chong, has evolved into an enduring friendship. I am excited for you to hear this exclusive chat with one of Canada’s sporting legends.
