Simon aims for London Olympics

Belgian triathlonathlete – and regular endurance Junkie model – Simon De Cuyper is on an Olympic mission. With a 4th place finish at the Cape Town ITU Sprint Triathlon, Simon is off to an excellent start to what is no doubt the most important season of his career.

“It is going to be all or nothing to grab that Olympic spot”, says Simon. “Up next for me is the Mooloolaba World Cup race in Australia on March 25th and the very important European Championships in Eilat, Israel on April 22nd. A top 8 spot at that race would mean a huge step towards that Olympic spot and a chance to become a true professional athlete with financial support from BLOSO (the Belgian Flemish sports agency) or Defence.”

Simon is currently ranked 83rd on the ITU points list, more or less guaranteeing him a spot on the World Cup circuit. Good results at these races will see Simon score much needed points for the Olympic list where a spot in the top 55 is the goal.

Bevan Checks In from IM Busselton

Hi guys. Not my day today at Ironman Busselton…

Had a good swim and rode into the overall age group lead, putting minutes into the field very comfortably under AeT1 and low HR. I then hit a bump in the road at the 70km mark and clicked my hip out and pinched a nerve. This stopped me from using my right leg (20-30% max) for the next 70km. I mainly peddaled with one leg and stopped a few times to try to fix it as didn’t want to DNF. I finally got average at around the 140km mark and rode home moderately but conservatively. I was still on an OK time but felt unable to run with the hip. Rather than DNF, I walked home.

Not my day – the age group win and a Kona spot were there for the taking. Off now to get a CT-US and a cortisone shot into the hip.

The Race Shorts and Tri Jersey were fantastic. Thanks for your help and support!

Cheers bevan.

What a Cardiologist Thinks About...

My first consideration when choosing my race kit for the recent Paris marathon was to ask my sponsors. My wife said that she didn’t care. Second, aesthetics. I looked through my wardrobe searching for something that complemented… Read more
