At the tender age of 13 Simon raced in his first triathlon, where he completed a 500 meter swim, 20 kilometer cycle and a five kilometer run. For this race Simon received a prize for being the youngest competitor on the day, and ever since has concentrated on participating in every triathlon possible.
Two years out of school Simon caught the attention of his current coach, Ben Gathercole, after being place third in a local Canberra race. From here Simon joined the elite Tridents squad, and with consistent training his Olympic dream became his greatest challenge. This dream was realized at Athens 2004.
