Tom Boonen won Paris-Roubaix in incredibly dominant fashion, going off the front with 30+ miles to go and consistently pulling away from the rest of the field that was working together to pull him back. At one time team Sky had 5 team members together in the group behind Boonen and couldn’t even put a dent in his lead, in fact Boonen’s lead continue to grow. Unfortunately because of his dominance the race wasn’t nearly as exciting as it usually is. Also unfortunately, the live telecast didn’t show any of the interesting part of the race with Boonen and one of his teammates going off the front and then Boonen dropping him in short order. Even on the replay segments they didn’t show the move of the day which was too bad. But it’s hard to under estimate how truly dominant he rode.
When I say I’m “fat” I hope everyone realizes that I don’t think I’m fat, I just weigh a little more (3-4 pounds) than would be ideal for racing. I was doing a really good job with eating the proper stuff at the correct time. But after going to Cancun I’ve been having too much dessert, eating too late at night, not drinking enough water, etc. and as a result have put on 3-4 pounds depending on the day. This doesn’t sound like a ton, but it takes quite a bit of fitness to make up for that extra weight. I need to make a change with this I’m not going to try to lose weight necessarily but I’m going to re-focus on avoiding dessert, not eating late, and making sure to drink enough water.
