With only a weekend until the start of the #AustralianOlympicTrials , @codysimpson is undoubtedly preparing for the heats of his life. He'll have a couple of things to look forward to beyond the racing in Brisbane... #TheSeaInMe being officially released on June 18th & a #GQAustralia cover shoot + interview of him, set to come out next Friday, the 14th. Hopefully I can read that in full at some point. Nice pics of him in various designer clothes from that shoot. All the best, to you Codes.
A pretty well-rounded interview. I do have one point to mention, which is sort-of discussed in the interview, but I'll hold off saying anything until after the #AustralianOlympicTrials .
Looked into giving @codysimpson an extra incentive to get on the #Paris2024 Dolphins or by clocking personal best(s) at the #AustralianOlympicTrials . If he did, I was willing to pick up a pair of the #Speedo replica #Olympic swim briefs, to congratulate him & support the Dolphins. But #SpeedoAusNZ has their site restricted to Australian-only purchases. Could get parcel forwarding to Canada, but the billing portion is solely for Aussie addresses. Oh well. Maybe Codes can snag a pair.
Merely 1½ weeks until @codysimpson is off to Brisbane for quite the swim trial ( #AustralianOlympicTrials ) . Was going to repost the video he had a few days ago of him swimming a blazing fast lap with a few bars of "Love's Theme" by Barry White, featuring the Love Unlimited Orchestra playing in the background. But he seems to have taken it down. Instead, noticed his rather simple bio title...
About 2½ weeks until the #AustralianOlympicTrials and 3½ weeks left before @codysimpson 's Children's book is officially released to the wild. I haven't preordered one yet since it seems to be quite Australian-specific. But, will get my hands on a copy, one day soon -- preferably a signed one. In the meantime, a few glimpses of it...
Terrific illustrations.
Some new @codysimpson pics put up earlier. Something's telling me to post and comment -- especially since he didn't give them any description. 24 days until the #AustralianOlympicTrials
Really like the second shot with the air bubble floating to the surface.
Emma has some good advice for him... "Be the butterfly"
He may have heard that one before.
A behind-the-scenes short compilation video of @codysimpson as he engages in a few different gym training weight exercises with less than one month to go before the start of the #AustralianOlympicTrials .
Nice touch with having "Part The Seas" as the soundtrack -- one of my favs. Tempo is sync'd nicely with many of the movements, so a great choice.
With about one month to go before the #AustralianOlympicTrials, @codysimpson is nearly in the homestretch to make the trek to Brisbane. I wouldn't be surprised if we hear less from him over the coming weeks as he perhaps gets "sequestered", to some degree. But, based on how active he was prior to Commonwealth, there's no guarantee about that happening.
A few of @codysimpson 's latest pics, with my annotations.
He's no doubt laser-focused on the #swim with just over a month to go before the #AustralianOlympicTrials
Yeah, don't worry about trying to get pics and vids of yourself during training, @CodySimpson -- it's less about doing it for the cameras or for the glamour of it. As long as you can record some stories or talk about them after this extreme phase of your life has concluded, that will be more than enough. We do appreciate the glimpses you have shown us as they let us know you're doing everything to push as hard as you can. #AustralianOlympicTrials#Swimming#Dolphins
Here's a snippet of "On My Mind (Forever Version)" by @CodySimpson , put together with the help of Adrian Cota (his former band mate and producer).
