Cycling Time Trial Podcast

Today on the Cycling Time trial podcast we welcome back Heath Dotson. Heath lives in Asheville, NC and previously joined us when we were discussing saddles. I am really glad to have Heath back to talk about much more fun topics. Heath raced full time as a Category 1 cyclist for nearly 12 years, he raced several seasons for different elite teams including spending a year racing for a team in Europe. He also helped found the Cane Creek/Subaru Elite team based out of Asheville, NC. During his tenure as rider, director and manager, the team became one of the top elite teams in the Southeast US and successfully campaigned internationally as well. Heath was also a Masters National Pursuit Champion and a World Team Pursuit Silver medalist. Heath was forced out of top level cycling due to an injury and he then turned his competitive nature to triathlon although he does still compete at regional cycling events. Heath is now a professional coach after founding HD (High Definition) Coaching and you can find out more at HDCoaching.net. Heath also founded AeroCamp, which incorporates everything every obsessed time trialist thinks about on a continual basis to include testing (and more testing) equipment and fit. Welcome back Heath Dotson!
