Jamie's BIO

Jamie Whitmore had an outstanding season as a rookie pro in both the Xterra Triathlon Series and the Norba Mountain Bike Series. Coming form a running background, she has only pursued cycling and swimming for two years. Already the top Xterra female in the world, Jamie's domination of the series for years to come is evident as her own progression curve improves in the cycling and swimming segments. DOMINATING, UNBEATABLE, DESTINED FOR GLORY are a few of the buzz words circling the triathlon community. In the Xterra series, Jamie had two first place finishes and one second place finish. Jamie is the Xterra National Champion and Xterra Series Champion, and finished second at the World Championships. Jamie was voted "Xterra Female Triathlete of the Year." Both the National Championship and the World Championship will be aired each for one hour on national television networks Outdoor Life Network (OLN) and CBS respectively. Jamie received additional media coverage in both Inside Triathlon and Triathlete magazines. Additionally, she was ranked 12th in the Norba National series going into the finals but with a flat tire and a DNF her overall ranking fell to 18th place. In short track, Jamie had two top 10 finishes. The Norba series is also covered on OLN. Her superior athletic skills are only overshadowed by her commitment to excel as a remarkable person in the communities of both athletes and non-athletes. Jamie is inspired to help others as confirmed by her donation of time and money to the Huntington’s disease of America Society. She has started “Jamie’s Race for Research” in an effort to find a cure for the disease. Her mother-in-law passed away from complications of the disease and her sister-in-law has recently tested positive for carrying the Huntington’s gene. She will begin to show signs of the disease within the next 10-15 years. Jamie’s hope is that the medical community finds a cure before her sister-in-law begins to show any signs. Her goal is to spread awareness of this disease as well as raise as much money for research through raffles, races, T-shirt sales, flat donations and hopefully her sponsors as well. Jamie is very active in her community, teaching mountain bike classes, hosting clinics, supporting local races and speaking at public engagements. She has been asked to speak to youth groups and elementary schools about triathlons and mountain biking. Her goal is to inform youth that there are more sports than just football or baseball. When she is not training or racing, she works as a substitute teacher and also at a local bike shop. Jamie feels the best way to represent her sponsors is to set an example. After any race, she can be found at the finish line cheering everyone across the finish line. Not only is she approachable, but she approaches others to find out if they did well and had a great time. Next year, Jamie will again race the Xterra and Norba circuit. She also plans to race internationally in Xterra and World Cup cycling races. She also plans to race a few one-day adventure races on a coed team that she has been organizing for fun.
