My early commitment to competitive cycling has afforded me advantages in life. First, I have always tried to figure out how to go faster on the bike. Since weight is a key factor to speed, this focus led to an interest in diet. Second, the exercise helped inoculate me from diabetes that has plagued my entire family. Alas, I was not able to avoid heart disease.
