Racing Bikes - Overweight
Hey All,
New to the forum. I've been racing triathlon for the last 4 years and have always had strong bike splits in spite of my weight. I decided that I want to give bike racing a crack this year but am super anxious about my size compared to the guys I normally see at our local crits and road races. Am I just going to get smoked because I'm around 250#? Or do I have a shot in cat 5 races to hang on to the field? Of course the hope is to get stronger and lose weight, but in the interim, I'm just wondering if any other large guys or girls are racing and holding their own.
Thanks
Chris
