Manage episode 386091492 series 2607559
Simon Lessing truly is a Triathlon Legend. Before we had Gomez, Frodeno, or the Brownlee Brothers, we had this man. If you ever debate who is the greatest of all time Triathlete, his name must be in the conversation.
Hailing from the shores of Cape Town, racing for Britain, and dominating the European and world circuits, his legacy is so remarkable that it has inspired a generation of triathletes.
With five ITU World Championship titles, Nice long distance, a string of Ironman 70.3 victories, and a record-breaking performance at Ironman Lake Placid, wins at big nondrafting classics at Chicago and Alcatraz, and his domination of the French Iron Tour, his excellence in the sport is unquestioned.
Beyond the race courses, his influence continues to shape the future of triathlon through his coaching endeavors. He was appointed an MBE in the 2000 New Year Honours for services to triathlon.
When I look back at my career as an athlete, few have had this man's impact and sheer dominance.
