0:00.0	Hey, everybody, buckle up.
0:05.8	Strap in, get ready, because this is a big one.
0:09.1	Welcome to King of the Ride podcast.
0:11.0	I am your host, Ted King.
0:12.5	Our guest today is Derek Teal.
0:15.3	Derek is the founder and owner of Dialed Health, which is an awesome operation
0:19.5	offering strength training for cyclists.
0:22.5	He has a fantastic suite of training programs. It's all very easily executed online in this
0:26.8	modern age. Check them out at dialedhealth.com. There's more to the story than that. Derek

1:12.0	and he was hit by a car at what is estimated at 65 miles per hour. A hit and run, a situation in which there's quite
1:17.9	frankly no way the driver didn't know that he hit Derek and frankly left him for dead,
1:22.9	and then he simply drove off. I won't go into more details here because Derek paints a, let's say,
1:30.1	vivid picture of how it all went down. From there, we'll talk about how he's been healing,
1:36.4	how he's been coping, how his family has been dealing with it, his business, his friends,
