• Uphengululo lwe

Kwiveki enye emva kokuba ndigqibe itriathlon yam yokuqala, ndaphinda ndajamelana nolunye ucelomngeni olwalufuna amathumbu namandla, olwandenza intliziyo yam yabetha ngamandla ngokungathi ndibaleka ukuya kugqatso. Ndacela umfana ngaphandle komhla.

Kwiinyanga nje ezintlanu ezidlulileyo, uluvo nje lokuzivulela ngokwala ukwala lwenza amadolo angcangcazela kwaye izandla zam ziyajuluka (uhlobo oluthile lokucinga ngokwenza itrayethloni kanye). Ke ndiyithathephi imbilini yam? Emva kokujonga umnxeba kunye nokuzilolonga ukuba ndizothini, ndazikhuthaza ngegama elinye ndaza ndaqala ukucofa: "Ukuba ndinako ukudada imayile elwandle, ndingakwenza oku."

Andizange ndibe lolona hlobo lweembaleki. Ndikhe ndadlala ihoki yamabanga aphakamileyo, kodwa ndachitha ixesha elininzi ebhentshini kunasemdlalweni. Kwaye ngelixa ndandidlala kwi-5Ks kunye nokukhwela ibhayisekile, andizange ndicinge ukuba ndingumdlali "wokwenyani". Nangona kunjalo, ii-Triathlons zazisoloko zindithanda. Ingqwalasela! Unyamezelo! Indlela abakhuphiswano ababebonakala ngathi batyhafile, banxibe amaqhawe esenzo njengoko babephuma emanzini. Ke xa kwafika ithuba lokubhalisela itri ebandakanya ukudada imayile enye, ukuhamba ngebhayisikile eyi-26, kunye nokubaleka kweemayile ezi-6.2 egameni leQela loQeqesho, ingalo yokunyusa ingxowa mali yeLeukemia kunye neLymphoma Society, ndasayina impuls-nangona ndandingazi ukudada.

Abahlobo bam, usapho lwam, kunye nogqirha wam baye batyhafa xa ndibaxelela ngezicwangciso zam. Ndiye ndayiqonda ukuba yonke le nto ivakala ngathi iyaphambana. It wayenjalo uphambene. Ndandingalali ebhedini ndibonisa iindlela ezahlukeneyo endinokurhaxwa ngazo okanye ndixengaxeze ngaphambi kokuba ndifike entanjeni. Bendisazi ukuba kuzobalula ukuvumela uloyiko luthathe indawo, ndiye ndathula abo "kuthekani ukuba" amazwi ayinxalenye yesicwangciso sam soqeqesho. Ngaphandle kokuthintela iingcinga entlokweni yam, xa usapho lwam lunditshutshisa ngemibuzo kunye neemeko ezimbi kakhulu, ndabaxelela ukuba andifuni ukuyiva.

Ngeli xesha, ndiye ndabandezeleka kukuzilolonga "kwezitena"- iiseshoni zokubuyela emva, ezinje ngebhayisekile emva koko ukubaleka-kwimvula egalelayo kunye nobushushu obungama-90. Ndaminxeka ngamanzi ngexesha lezifundo zokuqubha kwaye ndaye ndanoloyiko oluncinci ngethuba lokuqubha kwam okokuqala emanzini avulekileyo.Xa ndachitha ubusuku bam bangoLwezihlanu ndiphumle ukukhwela ibhayisekile ezingama-40 ngeentsasa zangoMgqibelo, ndaqonda ukuba ekugqibeleni ndiye ndaba yimbaleki "yokwenyani".

Usuku lomdyarho bendimi elunxwemeni ndicinga ngomxube woloyiko kunye nemincili. Ndaqubha. Ndakhwela ibhayisekile. Kwaye njengoko ndandibaleka ndinyuka induli yokugqibela, umgqibeli wakhwaza, "Ijiko elinye lasekunene kwaye ungumdlali wesithathu!" Ndiphantse ndalila. Ndiwele umgca wokugqibela ndiziva ndothukile, ndisoyika, kwaye ndiphakamile nyulu. Mna, ophumeleleyo!

Loo fowuni ihlasimlis’ umzimba emva kogqatso yayisisiqalo nje sesimo sengqondo sam sokungafihli. Ndiyekile ukubaleka kuluhlu lwengqondo yezizathu andikwazi okanye ndingenzi nto. "Ukuba ndiyakwazi ukuqubha imayile elwandle..." yimantra yam. Eli binzana liyandiqinisa kwaye lisebenza njengesikhumbuzo sokungazithembi kwam ukuba ndikwazi ngakumbi kunokuba bendicinga. Ukuphumelela kwi-triathlon kusete kwakhona i-bar "yokuphambana": Ndiye ndagqitha ekuqwalaseleni izinto ezenziwa ngama-gutsier, njengokuhamba ndedwa eMzantsi Melika iinyanga ezimbalwa. Kwaye nangona umfana endimbizile wagqiba ukundijika, andinakulibazisa ukubuza omnye umntu ngaphandle-yinto encinci xa kuthelekiswa nesiqingatha se-Ironman (i-1.2-mile ye-swim, ukuhamba ngebhayisikili ngamamayela angama-56, kunye nokuhamba kweekhilomitha ezili-13 ) Ndibhalisele.
