In 2012, I completed a 7 day, 485 miles bicycle ride across Iowa called RAGBRAI. This was the hottest summer on record, with 4 days of the event reaching temps well over 100 degrees and temperatures coming off the pavement reaching 127-140 degrees.
I was the "fat kid" growing up and have worked hard to lose and maintain my weight and get myself to this level of fitness. Every day I have to watch what I put into my body, and it will always be a struggle, but I am proof that you CAN lose and maintain a healthy weight. Completing RAGBRAI was a proud moment for me.
This picture is of me, victorious, at the finish line at the Mississippi River.
