I think she also has the FKTs on the AT and CDT.
I ride with a female vegan, ~60 or so. Looks 35. She goes on 70,000' bike tours in the French Alps, and similar. A little story on her though, which I think makes a good point. A group of us were touring somewhere in Montana. We were staying in a one hotel/one restaurant town. At dinner we were looking over the menu and another woman said, Look, there's liver and onions! And the vegan said, "I'll have that!" Hey, it was Montana. No need to be stupid about diet, and she's not a stupid woman.
