Dan Dixon is a young British professional who was given a last minute call up to Team England for the Commonwealth Games when Johnny Brownlee had to withdraw through injury.
We talk about:
Racing the Commonwealth Games on home soil as a 20 year old
How he supported himself over the winter delivering a milk round for a friend’s father
Training with Morgan Pearson and Sam Long out in Arizona with coach Ryan Bolton
The reality of trying to make a living as a pro triathlete
Racing the SuperLeague Triathlon series and the difference that has made to his finances
His desire to win the Olympics, and the sometimes harsh reality of ‘domestique racing’ at the big events
His plans for the rest of the season as he hunts for Olympic qualification points.
