RAW DOES IT AGAIN!!

Congratulations!

Totally! You continue to inspire, hopefully including many at the race who caught onto your raw vegan plug - onya!

i forgot to mention that if anyone ones to start up debates, feel free to start em here. i choose not to take things personally, so feel free to say what you mean.

went for an easy 3km jog this morn. up and back to check the letterbox. i noticed all the smoke coming from chimneys in the valley. maybe i need to share my 'burn fat, not wood' winter heating tips. but i know that would go down like some of my thread replies..

i do star jumps then jump into my sleeping bag. last night bit a of water got into the tent. nice little wake up at 2am.

staying in one of the coldest gullies in radelaide. i do lots of jogs up and down for extended warmth.

weighing in a 61.1kg and 183cm im coming to the end of my 'firewood'. finding i need to eat extra servings of sweetness to flame the warmth of a heater free lifestyle. using my bike to find food often uses more calories than i get. it keeps me lean and race fit mean.

without no vision..the people perish.
im here to provide a vision. by being the change i want to see and showing people what is possible.

people tell me they cant get enough calories on raw.....
im out there cycling the world, riding up to 1530km in a week and winning 24hr solo mountain bike races

people tell me its too exspensive....
i average 3500cals a day, per year and on under 13k AUS net income a year. buying organic each chance i get.

people tell me raw makes em too cold..
im single digit body fat and have had maybe 10 warm showers in the last 2 years...i dont light fires nor flick switches of heaters, rather i choose extra clothing and the athletic lifestyle to warm up. once i rode 20km naked in light snow at 2am...a truly 'raw' experience..
sure i prefer the tropics..but i also enjoy the invigoration of winter chill.

some crew accuse me of gloating, boast'n etc. same crew that watch tv and get hooked on junk food advertising that says' ours tastes the best!' then they que up to hand over wealth and health at the establishment check out. only to get less than optimum results and seek advice on how to get well. my advice comes across as harsh and unsensitive. bit like the animal farmer that provided their last meal, bit like the flame that burned the last nutrient as it tried to escape the pot. 6.6 billion people on the planet now with no idea of mother natures plan for  health and abundance..total disconnection. people frying themselves and their food and taking drugs to numb the numbness. people eating msg, cooked food, pesticides etc and say'n my replies are too harsh. even if that were true, you'd be better off addressing more important aspects of your life than 'durianriders view of society'.

whether or not to go raw is a question of priorities. if pursuing vibrant health and abundance is a priority for you and your family, then its vital. if your priorities lie elsewhere, thats fine. its our own journey.

as they say, cheap is expensive and raw food aint a luxury..its how food is meant to be...

dont own a computer....dont even have a phone number..
use library, internet cafe, housesit etc..

no one in south oz can ride as far as me in 24hours. why? cos i do what it takes to be the best.
having that sort of self confidence doesnt do much when you step up on the start line with adelaides best runners for the annual greenbelt half marathon...i lasted 2km with the lead pack before my left vastus medialis said 'dude what are you trying to do? run like someone running 120km a week on 5km a week training?..i dont think so, your stopping NOW!

and stop i did and grabbed my bike, put my tail between my legs and rode to the finish to watch the people that actually trained for the event take the glory they deserved.

so once again i learnt we must train specific to our sport and more quality miles in training, means more quality smiles on race day...

rode 2hrs out to the start of my race on saturday. first road race in B grade since 2003. yet my aim was still to win the race and move up into A grade. race was 96km with some small hills. after 60km i got a flat tyre. 2nd flat tyre in all my years of racing. oh well, gave me a chance to watch the race in the back of the officials car.

still got 110km in my legs so was happy with that. another race this weekend coming up.

jumped on the digital scales at 60.0kg, now i dont do raw to keep slim and trim. thats just what happens when we look after our bodies. but its interesting that some crew say fruit makes you fat...lol! but when i look at the veins in my abs, i just cant agree with that..

food intake yesterday
6kg sweet valencia oranges
2kg soft sweet persimmons.
400g alice springs dates
2 lettuce
