NgoFebruwari 2013, u-Turia Pitt wase-New South Wales wafaka isimangalo nxamnye ne-RacingThePlanet, abaququzeleli be-ultramarathon yomgama oziikhilomitha ezili-100 kaSeptemba ngo-Western Australia apho uPitt nabanye abathathi-nxaxheba batshiswe kakubi ngumlilo kwikhosi. Kwiveki ephelileyo, ityala leNkundla ePhakamileyo lasonjululwa ngokuyimfihlo ngaphandle kwenkundla kunye noPitt, oneminyaka engama-26 ubudala, owamkela intlawulo enkulu yeRacing the Planet, enokuthiwa ukuya kuthi ga kwi-10 yezigidi zeedola.

Ekubeni eli tyala lingazange liye enkundleni, uluntu alulazi ibali lipheleleyo malunga nokuba kwenzeka ntoni ngolo suku lobuqhophololo. Uninzi lwamajelo eendaba alapha ekhaya anika ingxelo yokuba iRacingThePlanet, inkampani yaseHong Kong esekwe ngoFebruwari ka-2002, yazibetha ngoyaba izilumkiso zomlilo wamatyholo okufutshane owabeka abo bakhuphisana nabo abafana noPitt, othe watsha ngaphezulu kwe-60 yepesenti yomzimba wakhe kubandakanya nobuso bakhe. ingozi yokufa. UPitt uqinisekise eli bango kumboniso weendaba weTV wasekhaya.

"Inyaniso yokuba basivumele ukuba sihambe kwindawo yokutshekisha, eziikhilomitha ezingama-20 ukuya kwezingama-25, yenye yezona zinto zisidanisayo kulomdyarho kuba bayazi ukuba kukho umlilo osondelayo. Baye balunyukiswa, basivumela ukuba sidlule. Ngale mini, abaqondi ukuba kutheni benze lo nto ... kutheni bengadlulisanga [ulwazi] kubakhuphiswano. Babenomsebenzi wokukhathalela ukusilumkisa, ukuba abasinqandi, "utshilo uPitt kwintatheli yeendaba kwi 2013 (jonga ividiyo). Ngaphambi komdyarho, abathathi-nxaxheba babelunyukisiwe malunga nomngcipheko wokulunywa ziinyoka kunye neengwenya kwikhosi kodwa hayi imililo yasendle.

UmdyarhoI-ThePlanet iququzelela iintsuku ezintlanu zonyaka, iimidyarho ezixhasayo ezifikelela kwiikhilomitha ezingama-250 (i-155 yeemayile) kwiNtlango yaseGobi e-China, kwiNtlango yase-Atacama eChile, kwiNtlango yeSahara e-Egypt nase-Antarctica. Umnyhadala wesihlanu obizwa ngokuba liRace Race ufuduka rhoqo ngonyaka (olandelayo ngo-Agasti uza kwenzeka eMadagascar). Le 100-kilometer/62-mayile ultramarathon (ethetha ukuba umgama mde kunomgama weemayile zemveli ezingama-26.2) owenzeka eOstreliya, nangona kunjalo, yayingengomsitho weRacingThePlanet oqhelekileyo.

"Sikhuthazwe ngurhulumente waseNtshona Ostreliya ukuba size kulungiselela olu gqatso. Besingenazicwangciso zokulawula loo mdyarho ixesha elide. Besizakuyinikela kwindawo yasekuhlaleni," utshilo uMary Gadams, umseki waseMelika weRaceThePlanet , naye owayethatha inxaxheba ngaloo mini kwaye wanyamezela ukutshiswa kwinqanaba lesibini. Esi yayingengomsitho wokuqala weRaceThePlanet kule ndawo. Nge-Epreli ka-2010, yayiqhuba umdyarho weenyawo weentsuku ezingama-250, ngokutsho korhulumente waseNtshona Ostreliya. UGadams uyaphika ukuba abaququzeleli bomdyarho bebesazi ngalo mlilo.

"Ndimalunga ne-50 yeemitha ukusuka kumantombazana [uPitt noKate Sanderson] abatshisiweyo. Nam ndatshiswa. Ndatshiswa ngomgangatho wesibini ukuya kwiipesenti ezilishumi zomzimba wam. Oko kubandakanya izandla zam kunye nomva weengalo zam kunye nemilenze. Ngaba ngenene ucinga ukuba ngendiqhubekile ukuba besicinga ukuba kukho umlilo? Ngokwenene ibiyinto engaqhelekanga, ebuhlungu, utshilo kudliwanondlebe kunye Ubume. UGadams uqikelela ukuba ukonzakala kwakhe bekungekho nzima kakhulu kuba wahlala kugqatso kunokuba abaleke enyuka njengoPitt, othi kule vidiyo ikhankanywe ngasentla, yena nabanye abahlanu benyuka kwicala lethambeka.

"Sinezinto ezimbini esinokukhetha kuzo, kwaye enye kuzo ibinomtsalane. Kulapho ke sawubona umlilo usiza. Kweli nqanaba, bendisoyika kakhulu. Singahlala kumazantsi entlambo, kodwa bekukho utyani obuninzi, besicinga ukuba iza kuba sisibaso esifanelekileyo somlilo. Okanye sinokunyuka ngomwonyo. Ndiyazi ukuba imililo ikhawuleze inyuke, kodwa bekukho uhlaza oluncinci, ke ... sonke sikhethe induli, "utshilo uPitt. . UPitt akazange aphendule kwisicelo sethu sokubeka izimvo.

Ixesha lomlilo waseBushfire eKimberley, ummandla okwiNtshona yeOstreliya apho umsitho kaSeptemba wawubanjelwe khona, uqala ngoJuni ukuya ekupheleni kuka-Okthobha, ngokweSebe lezoMlilo lase-Australia kunye neeNkonzo eziNgxamisekileyo. Le mililo inokubangela iindlela ezahlukeneyo, kubandakanya abantu kunye nogwayimbo lombane. Ngotshintsho lwemozulu lwakutsha nje, olufana nemvula eninzi ebangela ukukhula okuthe kratya kohlaza, imililo yamatyholo iya ixhaphaka. Ngomhla womdyarho we-ultramarathon, uGadams ufunga, nangona kunjalo, umngcipheko wawuphantsi.

"Okwangoku asikaluchazi olu lwazi okwangoku, kodwa ewe, sithumele ingcali yomlilo wasebusini emva kwesehlo. Uthe iipesenti ezingama-99.75 zekhosi yethu yayingaphantsi komngcipheko womlilo kwaye iipesenti ezingama-0.25 zazisesichengeni. Ngaphantsi kweepesenti ezingama-0.25 " Ingxelo yasemva komdyarho evela kurhulumente waseNtshona Ostreliya ithi ngenye indlela: "... iRaceThePlanet, kwindlela yayo yokucwangcisa i-Kimberley Ultramarathon ka-2011, khange ibandakanye abantu abanolwazi olufanelekileyo ekuchongeni umngcipheko. Inqanaba lonxibelelwano kunye nokubonisana nee-arhente ezifanelekileyo. kwaye abantu malunga nesiCwangciso soLawulo kunye noVavanyo lweNgozi ngokubanzi bebengonelanga, kokubini ngexesha elifanelekileyo kunye nendlela esisebenza ngayo.
