I have a friend who was a wrestler in the Big 8 when the Big 8 was the top collegiate conference.(if it is no longer the top conference) He said he quit wrestling and moved to the school's cycling team because it was a lot less demanding on his body and he could eat anything he wanted. After that, he became a triathlete doing a couple of full IMs per year. Said it was still a lot easier that wrestling.
