Peak State Fit

Pat Casey is a USA Triathlon Level 2 Coach, CSCS, Team USA Age Group Coach, and Retul certified bike fit expert. His background as an elite road cyclist stemmed into his consulting and coaching career, which allows him to combine his love of cycling and triathlon with his devotion to helping people improve their quality of life, and realize their athletic potential through endurance sports.

Pat grew up in St. Louis, Missouri where he spent the months he wasn’t playing ice hockey riding his mountain bike. He was introduced to cross country racing and joined the St. Louis-based cycling team when he was 15. At this time, Pat also got a job as an aspiring bike mechanic, and to this day, still wears his “mechanic hat” after 13 years in bike shops. 

During summer of 2012, Pat rode his bike from San Francisco, CA to Boston, MA in support of Partners in Health, a Global Health organization that had largely inspired his move to Alabama after graduation. Getting back to racing in Alabama, Pat found himself on the podium and moved up in Category quickly with help from his coach at the time, Heather. Instead of continuing on his path towards graduate school, Pat wanted to see where his dream of professional bike racing would take him. 

In 2014, Pat and Heather loaded up and moved their lives to Park City, Utah and Pat joined the Canyon Bicycles-Shimano Domestic Elite Cycling Team. He spent the following spring and summer months (2015 and 2016) traveling the US on the domestic PRT (Professional Road Tour) Circuit, followed by a year with the New Orleans-based team, Palmer Cycling who would help get him to a myriad of PRT events in the role of Rider and Director for the small squad. 

In this role, Pat found himself more useful as a team leader and coach than as a rider. In 2018, racing has become an outlet for competition, but Pat’s passion for coaching and devotion to his athletes has outdistanced his desire to spend as much time on the road. 

He still races as a Cat 1 in Utah, and you can find him at Tuesday Night Worlds races at RMR, and the occasional weekend criterium.
