Justin Thomas
Justin Thomas has been competing on the Xterra circuit for four years. He placed third at the World Championships in Maui this year (and was the first American for the second year in a row), won Xterra Canada, placed second at Xterra Keystone (Colorado), and was fourth in the Xterra National Point Series. After running competitively for William and Mary University (Division 1), Justin's strength in triathlon is the run, but he's a force on the bike as well, having raced mountain bikes as a semi-pro since 1999. In 2024, he plans on competing in the Xterra series in the U.S. and Europe, and will be trying his hand at "some high-profile road tris," including the St.Croix Half-Ironman, and St.Kitts ITU.

Derick Williamson (CTS)
Derick has a degree in Health Promotion and a minor in Exercise Science from Appalachian State University, graduating Magna Cum Laude. He was a track MVP, team co-captain, and multiple all-conference distance runner, helping the ASU Mountaineers capture numerous Southern Conference Championships in both cross-country and track. Derick remained an avid competitive cyclist and triathlete throughout his collegiate tenure competing in a variety of cycling and multi-sport events whenever his racing schedule would allow. Derick is currently a Carmichael Training Systems certified coach.

Lisa Jhung
Senior Editor of Adventure Sports magazine, Lisa Jhung has been competing in adventure races since 1998, racing in almost 60 events of various lengths - sprint, 24-hour, stage and expedition. Before converting to adventure racing, Lisa was a competitive Olympic-distance triathlete. Although working full-time as ASM's Senior Editor, Lisa makes sure her racing seasons are jam packed.

Scott Schumaker
Adventure Sports magazine's associate editor, Scott Schumaker, came from a swimming background before cutting his multi-sport teeth in 1989 at the Wildflower short-course triathlon, which got him hooked on the sport. He finished the Hawaii Ironman in 1994 and went pro in 1996. As a professional triathlete he came to love and focus on off-road triathlons, consistently placing in the top ten in Xterras, and finishing second at the world's first off-road Iron distance race in 2024. Now "retired," he likes to find one or two unique athletic challenges to torture himself with each year.
