SIMON WALKER
How many years have you been in Triathlon? 3 years.
Why did you start? I saw an article in the Herald Sun on 6 weeks to your first triathlon, and thought it sounded like a good idea, as I was getting too old for team sports.
What's your favourite race? Portarlington.
What's your favourite leg? Bike, I have a chance to catch my breath after my usual crap swim.
If you could win one event in the world what would it be? Phuket Triathlon as it's somewhere exotic.
What's your favourite drink? Sports drink or beer (depends on whether it's before or after training).
What's your best race? Portarlington or last Sprint race at Brighton.
Is there something you eat which you shouldn't? A lot of lollies and cakes.
Who is your idol?  
What's the funniest thing that ever happened to you in a race? I thinks it's funny that I actually completed my first mini tri after swallowing a mouthful of sea water and throwing it up during the first km on the bike.
If you could change anything in Triathlon what would it be? The expense. I can't keep up with all the gadgets.
If you could have any kind of car what would it be? A motorbike (Yamaha Fireblade)
