Fluid Athlete Highlight: James Walsh
David Brown - Friday, February 26, 2010
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.
