I grew up playing baseball and then spent years surfing, bodyboarding, snowboarding, and skating. In 2005 I was ready for a change and another challenge. So I signed up for the Carlsbad Half Marathon in January of 2006. After that I jumped headfirst in to triathlon and the fell in love with offroad racing and Xterra.
For 3 years I focused on Xterra and in 2008 was the Southwest Regional Champion and won the Xterra World Championship in the 30-34 age group in Maui. Worlds in Maui was my last triathlon. I was pretty burned and out and very content with my results. I wanted a break and a new challenge.
In 2009 I decided to focus on just running and riding… and the just riding by mid summer. I ended the 2009 season with some good results in mountain bike racing and then found a new addiction: cyclocross. I ended up with the cat 3/4 men division of the Souther California Prestige Series of Cyclocross… very unexpected.
In 2010 I will be focusing 100% on the bike. The plan is to focus on the Socal MTB State Series, Kenda/US MTB Cup Series, Rim Nordic Series, some endurance mountain bike races and then cyclocross in the fall.

Hey James,
Trying to get in touch with you and Beth about doing a phone interview for the mag. The background noise at the awards ceremony was pretty loud. We wanted a clean interview to place the audio into the next issue. Can you email me at: courtney@h3publications.com?
Thanks,
Courtney Johnson
