The whole weight thing (being fat)

How many sports can you think of in which the guy that looks like he's chronically ill, is most often a favorite to win?

Cycling is probably one of a couple... We're not talking about athletes with high muscle definition, and low body fat... we're talking about "athletes" that straight up look like hospital patients.

Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is that this means I'm fat, and I don't like it. While I've been pretty athletic my whole life, it's all relative and in the world of cycling, the 6' 200lb guy is just as much of a threat at a race as the 5'8'' white dude playing pick-up basketball.

As an industry person, it doesn't hurt to at least "look the part"... while I know my cycling shit, does it mean more when I look like a cyclist? probably.

Today I weigh about 200lbs... by the end of the summer, I want to be down to 168lbs. I'll update my progress every now and again... until next time try not to give Tony Kornheiser any more attention... that's what he wanted when he said to run over cyclists, and he's getting what he wants.
