don't know if the link is still good, but I'm sure you can get more info by

googling Scott Jurek:

 

DawnWatch: New York Times on vegan ultramarathon champion

Mon, 24 Jul 2006 07:06:08 +0000

The Saturday, July 22, New York Times sports section included a

story about vegan ultra-marathon champion Scott Jurek, headed, " After 70 Miles,

Racer Just Warming Up. " (Pg D6).

 

It tells us:

" On Monday, Jurek will be back for the Badwater, which starts at the lowest

elevation in the Western Hemisphere, 280 feet below sea level, and

ends at an elevation of 8,300 feet. " Jurek is the pre-eminent American

ultramarathoner. He won the Western States race seven straight times between

1999 and 2005, and the back-to-back victories at the Western States and Badwater

last summer were unprecedented. We learn:

 

" Jurek's training regimen is decidedly new age. He powers himself

with only vegan food, spending several hours a day preparing meals with

Leah...During the race, Jurek also consumes potatoes, bananas, energy gels and

rice balls, while cooling himself with icy bandanas and a silver thread-lined

safari cap designed to draw heat from his body. "

It presents a superb opportunity for letters singing the praises of

plant-based diets. The New York Times takes letters at letters

And in Canada google Iron Man triathlete Brendan Brazier -- he has a

short book out -- and the vegan meal replacement powder he apparently

developed is now sold by Sequel Naturals. It is called Vega.

 

A competitor makes something similar called Veganique which we also like.
