So, read about this guy, Rich Roll, recently who decided to celebrate turning 40 and being 10 years free of drugs and alcohol by becoming an IronMan. He was a self confessed over-weight sofa dweller but 18 months later became the first vegan / vegetarian fueled athlete to complete an UltraMan (back to back Ironman). Not only that he set the 2nd fastest swim time and placed 11th overall.
He’s now preparing for his second UltraMan and is a fascinating chap. Read his Twitter Profile.
Need to do some investigation into this vegetarian vibe – doubt I’ll ever make the heady heights of Vegan but I could drop red meat and dairy I’m sure.
