The Triathlon Show

This week, we caught up with Tony to talk about running the California International Marathon in Sacramento, CA, over the weekend.

This week on the OC Endurance podcast, we sit down with Simon Shi, an accomplished American professional triathlete. Simon embarked on his triathlon journey in May 2021, debuting at the Ironman 70.3 St. George race. In a remarkable seven-month span, he secured his Elite License for the USA, stepping into the professional realm for his second triathlon season.

Before delving into the world of triathlons, Simon made waves as a swimmer at the NCAA Division 1 level at Virginia Tech. His transition to triathlons came swiftly after graduating in May 2020, where he leveraged his background as a 200 IM specialist focusing on breaststroke events.

Simon's story is not only one of athletic prowess but also a captivating tale of adaptation and determination. Beyond his on-the-field achievements, he has cultivated a substantial following on YouTube over the past few years, sharing his experiences and insights with a growing audience.
