Story
Hi, I am Simon Bevin. I live in beautiful Mount Maunganui with my wife, Renay, and our two children, Ryan (10) and Fynn (8).
I work as an Air Traffic Controller at Tauranga Airport. I have also previously worked in the Royal New Zealand Navy and as a Police Constable.
The Mount Maunganui climate provides an opportunity for a great outdoor lifestyle, with arguably the best beach in New Zealand, which motivates people to keep fit and healthy. In the past few years, as part of my "mid-life crisis", I started participating in triathlons and have now completed three Port of Tauranga Half Ironman's and numerous shorter distance events. Ocean swimming is also an interest of mine and I am a regular starter in the "Around Mount Swim" and the Ocean Swim series.
I am attracted to any event that will provide personal challenge, and this is part of my motivation to run the New York Marathon with CatWalk. Additionally, I have a collapsed disc in my lower back with effects my nervous system into my lower body which needs to be managed on a daily basis. While my injury is at the very lower end of the scale, I do have a interest and understanding of the CatWalk mission.
See you in New York!!
