Too fat for this sport, the mid-season crisis:
well, not really a crisis, just a realization of a truth that I've know deep down for years.
So, what does one do with this truth? What have you done with it fellow "too fat/heavy for this sport" folks?
I've got a few ideas:
1. Lose 20 lbs and still weigh 180 (too fat!) AND look/feel worse than i do now.
2. Start lifting weights, focus on track and try my hand on the planks of the Velodrome and race mostly crits.
3. Combo: stay (get back to) around 190 (which will put me @ 6% bodyfat!), keep working on the sprint and stop thinking I'm going to win friggin mountainous stage races. Focus more on winning some crits and maybe a green jersey if I'm lucky.
Currently option 3 is looking the best, but number 2 seems fun, too.
So, how have fellow clydes dealt with this?
