Jamie Whitmore was dominant in her Xterra, offroad triathlon's elite series. She won 37 races, 6 national titles and a world championship on her way to a position in the sport's hall of fame. After a pain in her leg wouldn't cease, she sought treatment, where doctors discovered spindle cell sarcoma, a form of cancer that attacked her sciatic nerve.
She was lucky to survive cancer and complications from surgery. But the battle had left her with extremely limited mobility in one leg and drop foot. Jamie turned her hand at cycling and became an 11 time world champion, and a paralympic champion.
She spoke to Bobby and Jens about her journey through sport, her battle against cancer, and what the changes she wants the UCI to implement in paracycling.
