Warm Welcome to Vegan athletes: Let share knowledge, race experiences, training tips, recipes and plus!
I guess last time I ate meat was about 30 years ago. . . was vegetarian for many years before become strictly vegan. My life journey is about trying to make this planet a better place to live for all sentient being and myself.
I always been very athletic but never took it as seriously as I do now. I got introduced to Ultra running about a year ago. . and love every aspect of it. . as well of all the challenges who comes with it.
I am not a young gazelle anymore by any mean. . Yes, I am over the half century and decided that Ultra race was for me. .
From barely been able to run 10km in November 2016. . I went on to run the Lost soul 100km ultra. Not it was a smart things to do to increase mileage that fast. . but I just knew I could do it some how.
When I registered for 2017 Lost Soul first, I registered for the 50 km. . but for some reason , I asked to be bumped to 100km. Organizer told me that 100 km was full and I would not be able to upgrade. . . so I didn't train. Only 2 weeks prior the race that I received that email saying it was some opening for the 100km. With no training ( my longest distance I ever ran was 50km), I took a leap of faith, I knew I had an amazing team to crew me. . and they were determined to get me through. . Weather condition was not at best. . 40 degree celcius on top of the coulees, even hotter down the coulees, plus a level 10 + of smoke caused by near by wild fire. . looking back. . the only thing I can say it that we were crazy. . hahah ! !
Feeding myself with fresh veg juice and fruits, at no point I felt exhausted, my spirit was high . . I so wanted to finish it.
This coming year, I would like to share my racing experience as vegan with you all. .
Since my dream is to go run the UTMB ultra race in my country, France. . . my race calendar will be harder then this year by a long shot, as I need about 15 points to qualify. . ! ! .

I believe in better world, I believe we can live a healthier life, I Believe we can age gracefully. . and Fab, Fit and Vegan is what it is all about!
