Morgan Filler is an elite open water swimmer currently training for the 2008 Olympics. Morgan recently contacted OrganicAthlete about switching to a plant-based diet. She's among the growing number of elite athletes who are interested in how to perform at the top on a vegan diet.

OA: How long have you eaten an organic diet? Why did you first switch to an organic diet?

After a discussion with local pro/coach Jamie Cleavland I am closing off my inaguaral tri season with an olympic tri in two weeks and forgoing the 1/2 Ironman in October to focus on collegiate cross country instead. (Being my senior year this will be my last opportunity to be on a college team and have a true XC experience, since I only ran the last race last year)

In tri's swimming is my weakest sport by far so I've been trying to improve a bit.
