  1. Vegan Triathlete Blog

    I just decided to become a triathlete. It's going to be a little while
    before my first triathlon (and hopefully a very long time until my last
    one), and I plan on blogging about it the whole time. Check out the
    blog that I just launched today:

    http://vegantriathlete.info

    What do you think? Are you going to read it?

    I've also added some forums to bring the triathlon community together.
    Check them out too:

    P.S. I'm a vegan, that's the reason for the domain name.

  2. It must be compicated getting enough nutrition especially protein.

    Do not listen to this obviously vegan hating bunch.
    I got shot down immediately for suggesting anything so senseless as
    olympians on veggie diets.

    Not at all. It's just not as much fun.

    You're a humorless lot. You're an inspiration if you're a vegan for
    medical reasons. If you're one for political reasons, then it's just
    mommy-lookit-me tokenism. Guess what, your lifestyle choice only annoys
    others and does zero to help the earth. Want to make a difference?
    Write letters to your local paper and your senator and
    congressfolk--that's what makes a difference, not suffering through yet
    another lentil salad in your hair shirt.

    There have been plenty of athletes of all sorts who were vegan. There are
    even vegan bodybuilders. I suppose one can get enough protein without eating
    meat or dairy, but that's a LOT of soy.

  10. You're 20 years old, you live with your brother-in-law and his wife and
    daughter, he's a swimming coach but has no swimming suit although he is
    thinking about buying one? No, I am not going to read any more of your
    blog.

    I tried a Vegan once. Not bad if seasoned correctly and slow cooked.

    Vegan, the other white meat.

    Hmmm, I was only thinking about cigarette smoking. I should probably
    bump that number up to 85%.

    I have no qualms about anybody wanting to adopt
    a vegan diet, if that's what they want to do.

    Now, ~triathletes~ I wonder about. I mean, abruptly
    abandoning one's bicycle to go for a run?! It ain't
    natural. It's like interrupting an amorous moment
    with one's S.O. to go bowling.

    cheers,

    Well, I could see jumping in the water after a bike ride. A swim in a
    nice cool body of H2O can be mighty refreshing. But yeah, abandoning a
    perfectly good bike to run seems sketchy to me.

    It makes more sense than when I was stationed at Pope AFB, NC. Watching the
    82nd jump out of perfectly good Airplanes seemed like the dumbest thing.
    But, are those guys handy when you needem' (grin)

    Except, triathletes jump onto their bikes /after/
    splashing around in the pool. Riding a bike in
    a wet Speedo can't be good for the nether regions.
    Might as well just sit on a big block of ice, and
    summon the guy with the Barron Ligator, to take care
    of the aftermath.

    The triathlon format is all in the wrong order. It should
    be: run, ride, and (maybe) swim. And the running part, I
    find dubious.

    And, as Fabrizio has mentioned: triathlon kit is fugly.

    cheers,
    Tom
