Sage 2nd at Pikes Peak!

Congrats to Sage on a really strong race. I can't help but think that this thread would be about 10 pages longer by now if he hadn't placed in the top 5.

Good work, Sage! Keep it rolling.

Sage has been vegan since he was born per him.

Great run by him and Killian today. It just shows us how special Matt Carpenter was/is, his time is going to be very hard to beat. I also remember reading that Matt Carpenters VO2 Max was 92, he never wanted the attention and he was the best in an era with Chuck Smead, Pablo Vigil, Rick Trujillio, etc.

Not quite, Matt came after those guys - their heydays were mid-70's to early 80's. His was late 80's and beyond. He did toe the line against Rick at PP and maybe a couple other races in the mid-80's into the 90's when Rick was past his prime, with predicable results.

I haven't thought of Chuck Smead in decades. Thanks for mentioning him. Brings back a good number of old memories. He was a terrific runner.

No, you wouldn't develop right if you were vegan since birth. He has only been vegan since around the time he left the Hanson's. But as someone else said, would not be surprised if he was a fake vegan. Only way we know for sure is if he did a hair test.

My wife and I were strolling along Pearl Street Mall one evening, and spotted a vegan acquaintance. He was at an outdoor restaurant eating meat with a woman who was not his vegan wife. On our second pass by the restaurant, his chair was turned away not facing the pedestrian traffic along the mall. Interesting.

Sage's career is at steak

So he lost by quite a while and we're happy for him?

I'm going to steak my name on it, Sage ran a good one, no mis steak about it.

Again. He lost by 12 minutes but only beat 3rd place by 33 seconds and that's great?

Soooooo, if I show up for a race and size up my competition, I should walk away knowing I would at best come in 2nd???

Hey thanks to those who said supportive stuff - it was a very solid race for me and I'm quite happy with the result! As far as the diet stuff (and blatant misinformation goes) let me set the record straight. What "Meat Cheater" wrote here is slander. What else you do you want to lie about? The truth is this: I was born and raised vegetarian. For the past 4-5 years I've been about 99% vegan I'd say. I say 99% because sometimes I eat honey and when I travel (mainly) sometimes I will eat a dessert (that probably has eggs/butter or milk etc) or try something like fondue/cheese in France etc. But I'm definitely quite plant based and I certainly do not eat meat. If I ever "cheat on the vegan diet" it is going to be something that might have eggs/dairy in it. There was a 1 month time frame at Hansons in Michigan after I ran a dismal 2:24 at Boston on a perfect weather day where I tired to eat some steak and bison burgers as an "experiment" to try to get my iron up or because I thought I needed more protein or something stupid (this was around May-June 2010) but I honestly hated it and quickly resumed my vegetarian ways later that summer. I actually do not enjoy the taste of beef or chicken etc. That was the only time in my life that I actually ate meat (besides trying some stuff as a kid growing up here and there...sometimes accidentily). The human body can really thrive on a plant-based diet. All you have to do is look at the essential vitamins and nutrients and amino acids/fatty acids the human body needs and make sure you are getting in complete and well rounded meals. Yes, I take vitamins/minerals like B12 and iron sometimes of course. A lot of top athletes do regardless of diet. Thanks for those who have supported me - really appreciate all the positive comments and I wish you the best in running and health!

Congrats, Sage!

Two really solid results

I'll just leave this here...

How is it slanderous? He didn't mention your name or direct anything towards you. Now maybe you have a guilty conscience and that is why you responded like you did.

Slander is a spoken defamatory statement, Libel is written. Come on Sage, we know you don't like meat, but no need to devalue that Ivy League degree. So sad, so tragic, so avoidable.

He still competes at a very good level!

I recall he was a teenage marathoner of high quality (low 2:20s?)

I don't know who is a bigger embarassment to the Ivy Leagues, the brojos for their writing level or Sage for his "science".
