Ukukhula kwami, imidlalo yamaqembu kwakuyi-jam-Soccer yami, i-hockey yasensimini, ne-lacrosse. Ekolishi, ngabhukuda ngaba nenhlanhla yokuthola umfundaze eSiracuse ukuze ngidlale i-hockey yasensimini. Lapho ngithweswa iziqu ngo-2000, ngasebenzisa imali yami yokuthweswa iziqu ukuthenga ibhayisikili lami lokuqala le-triathlon futhi ngazifaka ku-Ironman distance triathlon egcwele emasontweni amabili kamuva lapho ngineminyaka engama-21 ubudala.

Ngabamba i-triathlon bug futhi ngachitha iminyaka eyisishiyagalolunye eyalandela ngigijima ezingeni lezimfundamakhwela. Lapho ngiba neminyaka engu-30, le nto yokuzilibazisa yamantongomane yaba umsebenzi wami. Kube ngumsebenzi wami kule minyaka eyisishiyagalolunye edlule, futhi sengiqede ama-triathlons angama-60 agcwele webanga.

Ngo-March 4, 2017, ngagijima ngagijima e-Ironman New Zealand, ngingazi ukuthi nganginamasonto amane ngikhulelwe ngaleso sikhathi. Ngangiwulungiselele ngenkuthalo lowo mjaho ebusika bonke ngethemba lokuwina ukunqoba okuphindwe kathathu. Kepha angizizwanga njengami laphaya. Kunengqondo kimi manje kungani ngangicanuzela inhliziyo, ngigula, futhi ngiphalaza phakathi namahora ayisishiyagalolunye ekhosini.

Kwakunokuntuleka okukhulu kwamandla engingazange ngikwazi ukukukhomba ngaleso sikhathi, kodwa ngangibonga ukubeka indawo yesithathu futhi ngase ngiphezu kwenyanga kamuva lapho ngithola ukuthi sasinokuphila okuncane endleleni. Nakuba ukukhulelwa ngokuqondakalayo kungafaneleki emsebenzini wami njengompetha womjaho okhokhelwayo ongunxantathu, ukuba ngumama bekuyiphupho lami isikhathi eside.

Umqondo engiphila ngawo njengesikhuthazo yilena: Khumbula ukuthi uzizwa unjani ngemva kwalokho. Ngikhulelwe noma cha, yilokho okungisiza ukuba nginike amandla, ngilinganise kabusha, futhi ngihlalise umzimba wami endaweni engcono yosuku. Ukuhlala ngikhuthele kakhulu phakathi nokukhulelwa nakho kungisizile ngeqiniso ukuthi ngibhekane nokuthi ngingazizwa kabi kanjani ngezingxenye zalolu hambo. Ngamanye amagama, kuzwakala kukuhle ukuhambahamba phakathi kwezikhathi ezichithwe esimweni sengane, ngigaxa isikhwama sami sebhavu.

Njengamanje, ngivocavoca amahora amathathu kuya kwamahlanu ngosuku, okungivumela ukuthi ngigcine inkumbulo yemisipha, ukusebenza ngokuzimisela, kanye nokugijima njengomgijimi obheke phambili ekubuyeni ezifundweni eziningi zomjaho ngonyaka ka-2018. Ngenkathi Ukhulelwe?)

Bengijwayele ukuba nokuqeqeshwa okucishe kube ngamahora amane kwenziwe ngo-9 ekuseni, kepha manje njengoba ngikhulelwe, ngisho no-6 noma u-7 ekuseni kusisiqalo sokuqala. Into nje eyenzeka ngaphambi kwalokho ukuthi ngivuke embhedeni okweshumi ngiyochama.

Ngokuya ngokuqeqeshwa kwami ​​manje, ngibhukuda phakathi kuka-6 no-10K ngosuku. Amanzi abelokhu eyindawo engiya kuyo lapho umzimba wami ucindezelekile. Ngiphinde ngijikeleze umqeqeshi wami weCycleOps Hammer amahlandla amane noma kahlanu ngesonto bese ngifafaza kwamanye amakilasi eSoulCycle nabangani ukuwunonga kancane.

Amaviki okuqala angama-16, ngangibuye ngigijime phakathi kwamamayela angama-40 kuye kwangama-50 ngesonto. Kodwa ekugcineni ngathola le ngcindezi ewuhlanya endaweni yami ye-pelvic, futhi yavele ngazizwa ingalungile. Udokotela wami wathi kwakuyinhlanganisela yengane ehlezi phansi ngempela nalokho abanye besifazane abakhulelwe ababhekana nakho njengoba isibeletho sabo sanda. Wonke umuntu wesifazane uthwala ngendlela ehlukile, ngakho-ke ngaqinisekiswa ukuthi yize ingcindezi ingeke ilimaze ingane yami, kwakubalulekile ukulalela umzimba wami.

Ngenxa yalokhu, ukugijima kwami ​​kwehle kakhulu futhi kwehlile impela ezinyangeni ezimbili ezedlule. Uma ngikwazi ukukhipha amakhilomitha amathathu kuya kwamahlanu alula ngosuku ngale ngcindezi engapheli, lokho kungukunqoba! Ngihlala ngikhumbula ukuthi akubalulekile ukudlula kulolu hlobo lwezinto ngalesi sikhathi.

Ukuqeqeshwa kwamandla nakho kuyisihluthulelo. Izikhathi zami ezijwayelekile zamasonto onke nomqeqeshi wami wamandla bezilokhu zikhona njalo selokhu kwaqala ukukhulelwa, futhi umqeqeshi wami uvumelana nami lapho ngiguquka. Isibonelo, ngobuhlungu bami be-pelvic, ufake izivivinyo eziningi zokuqinisa ukhalo kumxube, okusiza ekugijimeni.

Kwabagijimi, kugxilwe ngaphakathi kithi ukudla ukudla okunomsoco, okunempilo, nokunomsoco njengendlela yokuphila. Angikubheki lokho ngendlela ehlukile ngokukhulelwa. Manje njengoba senginezinyanga ezingaphezu kwezingu-6 1/2 ngihamba, ngithola ukuthi ukudla ukudla okuncane usuku lonke kusiza ukugcina amandla ami ephezulu ngenkathi ngigcina noma isiphi isicanucanu.

Ngiqinise ijusi yewolintshi ne-cocktail yamanzi acwebileyo ukuze ngithole i-folic acid eyengeziwe ehlinzekwa yi-OJ, futhi ngiphonsa inyama ebomvu engenawo amandla okungenani kanye ngeviki ukuze ngithole leyo iron edingekayo. Izithelo eziningi, iyogathi yamaGreki, ibhotela le-alimondi ebhodweni, i-Bungalow Munch granola, amasobho ase-Züpa Noma asekulungele ukuselwa, namasaladi anenkukhu ethosiwe kanye nokwatapheya nakho kunendima ebalulekile. Ngaphezu kwalokho, njengalapho ngiziqeqesha kakhulu futhi ngigijima, ngisaqiniseka ukuthi ngihlala ngilinganisele futhi ngiba noshokoledi, i-pizza, noma ikhukhi njalo njalo. Izinhlobonhlobo ziyinkosi.

Kwezemidlalo, ngihlale ngikhuluma ngokuba ne iyaku vs. ngidinga uku ingqondo. SIZOQEQESHA ukuziqeqesha. SIYAGIJIMA ngama-triathlons. Akekho osenza sikwenze. Sikwenza ngoba SIFUNA. Sikwenza ngoba kusenza sichume futhi sikujabulela ngokweqiniso.

Ekukhulelweni, ukuxhumana kufana ncamashi. Siphupha ngokuba nempilo yomuntu ekupheleni kokukhulelwa kwethu-kodwa sithola ukuzwa okumangalisayo okuningi endleleni. Ngizovuma-ngokusobala futhi ngokungagunci-ukuthi ukukhulelwa kube ngenye yezinto eziyinselele kakhulu empilweni yami kuze kube manje. Lokhu yikho kanye, ngaphandle kokungabaza, ngihlala ngibuyele emuva ngizikhumbuze ngalokho iyaku vs. kumele isimo sengqondo. Futhi ngiyazikhumbuza ukuthi izinto ezicebisa kakhulu nezibaluleke kakhulu empilweni zithatha izinhlungu nokuqina okuningi ukufinyelela emphumeleni womlingo ekugcineni.

Ukuba nomyeni wami, u-Aaron, kusukela saba neminyaka eyi-14 ubudala, ngiphuphe ngethuba lokwenza impilo yomuntu ndawonye. Ngibheke ngabomvu ukubona u-Aaron no-BBK (umntwana womfana u-Kessler!) bejabulela izifundo zomjaho ngo-2018 nangale kwalokho-kuzoba ugqozi olungcono kakhulu engingake ngilucabange.
