Running is her sport and she tolerates the swim for the sake of multisport. She loves to use her bullhorn and She's been known to throw a few hills in a course too just for fun!

Jamie Neill, Timing Director/Swim Course Expert

Jamie is the lover of all creatures, tolerator of humans. She is a marathon swimmer who throws in a bike and run every so often. You can often catch her camping in fun places and exploring with her pups and family.

Jamie herself has competed in two full distance ironman races, a few halfs, 10-ish marathons and what she feels is her biggest accomplishment "Swim the Suck". This was an 11 mile swim that she completed in 2017!

She can appreciate both sides of the timing chip and works super hard to produce perfect results for YOU!
