Harley and I entered a race today up Penang Hill in Malaysia. The race starts with 1000 entrants all Asian except for Harley, me, and one other westerner. 3km of flat road, followed by 5km straight up hill about 2300feet climb. Harley received an amazing 8th place and only took about 52minutes (His heartrate stayed between 170-180beats per minute, mine a little less). I completed the race in 56 minutes (mostly with barefeet, the only crazy barefooter). The winner of the race completed in 46minutes. Some people take 4hours to finish.
We were able to share the Raw Vegan message with many Asians. We also enjoyed advertising fruit eating and drinking coconuts after the race when most people are drinking sodapop, gaterade and eating cooked animal products. It seems when we are drinking coconuts, other people join in and buy coconuts too...this feels wonderful.
RAWMEN--- This is what Harley and I are practicing....We are touring around on our bicycles daily, shirtless and speaking to many people each day about our vegan diets and ecofriendly lifestyles...I told Harley that I feel like a couple of Mormon boys, traveling around spreading the message on our bikes....He made up the word, "RAWMEN", not "MORMON", hhehehehe.
