Kubabheqi abathatha inxaxheba kuMsila weFox Regatta eDe Pere, eWisconsin, umdlalo yibhonasi yesicelo sekholeji okanye indlela yokugcwalisa ixesha elongezelelekileyo ngexesha lesemester yokuwa. Kodwa kwiqela elinye, ithuba lokuba semanzini limalunga nokuninzi, ngakumbi.

Eli qela, elibizwa ngokuba yi-Recovery on Water (ROW), lenziwe ngokupheleleyo ngabaguli abanomhlaza wamabele kunye nabasindileyo. Abasetyhini bezizukulwana ezininzi kunye nembali yembaleki eyahluka-hlukeneyo bakhwela izikhephe ukuya kugqatso-hayi ukuphumelela, kodwa ngenxa yokuba unako. (Dibana nabanye abantu basetyhini abaphendukele kwimithambo ukuze babuyisele imizimba yabo emva komhlaza.)

Umbutho osekwe eChicago waqala ngo-2007 njengentsebenziswano phakathi komntu owasinda kumhlaza wamabele uSue Ann Glaser kunye nomqeqeshi wesikolo samabanga aphakamileyo uJenn Junk. Ngokudibeneyo, benza uluntu olungancedi kuphela abafazi ukunciphisa uxinzelelo kwaye bahlale besempilweni, kodwa babonelela ngenkxaso enye ye izigulane by izigulana. Abapheleli nje ngokuxhasana ngokupheleleyo, baye bafumana ingqalelo yabadlali abakhulu kwishishini lokuzilolonga: Impahla yembaleki yabasetyhini i-brand i-Athleta iza kube inikela kumbutho ngembeko yeNyanga yoKwazisa ngoMhlaza wamabele kwaye ikwaquka nabafazi beROW. kwiphulo labo lenyanga.

"Ukuba ibingeyiyo i-ROW, andazi ukuba ngendiphi kule hambo ngoku," utshilo uKym Reynolds, 52, osindileyo kumhlaza wamabele obeku-ROW ukusukela ngo-2014. usapho kunye nabahlobo, kodwa aba bafazi bandenze ndaziva ngathi ndiyinto ethile. Bandinike injongo. UMQULU uyakukhumbuza ukuba awuwedwa kule nto ukuyo. "

AMANQAKU asetyenziswayo unyaka wonke, iintsuku ezisixhenxe ngeveki. Entwasahlobo, ehlotyeni, nasekwindla, babheqa uMlambo iChicago; ebusika, benza umthambo ngokwamaqela koomatshini bokubheqa bangaphakathi. (Eyeleleneyo: Uwusebenzisa njani umatshini wokuRowula kwiCardio Workout eNgcono)

UReynolds wayekade esebenza njengesixhobo sombane kwaye wayehlala esebenza, kodwa akazange azame ukukhwela umkhombe ade ajoyine i-ROW ngo-Matshi 2013, malunga neenyanga ezintandathu emva kokuphinda kabini.

Akayedwanga. Uninzi lwamalungu aluzange lubambe rower de luhambe ngeROW iingcango ezivulekileyo zendlu. URobyn McMurray Hurtig, oneminyaka engama-53 ubudala, ubhiyozele nje unyaka wakhe wesibhozo eno-ROW, kwaye ngoku uthi akanakucinga ngobomi bakhe ngaphandle kwawo. "Xa beza kusebenza nzima ngokwenene, ndandisoloko ndicinga ukuba, 'Ndingumntu osinda kumhlaza wesifuba, yinqumle! Andinakuyenza le nto!' Kodwa awusoze ufune ukuba ngulowo uthi 'andikwazi,' kuba unabanye abafazi abasixhenxe kwisikhephe sakho abaye badlula kwinto efanayo," utsho. "Ngoku, ndiziva ngathi ndingenza nantoni na abandiphosayo."

Ngokudibeneyo, iqela lihamba ngokulandelelana, ugqatso, kunye nemiceli mngeni ngokuchasene namanye amaqela abantu abadala, izikolo eziphakamileyo kunye neekholeji. Ngelixa ikukuphela kweqela labo kuhlobo lweziganeko, uMcMurray Hurtig uthi bafika indlela ende kule minyaka imbalwa idlulileyo, kwaye bazibambile kwindawo yabo yokuhamba ngeenqanawa: "Asikaze silindele lukhulu, kwaye wonke umntu soloko usiqhwabela izandla… kodwa ngoku sikhuphisana kancinci; asihlali singena ekugqibeleni! "

Nangona bengekho phandle ukuze baphumelele, abafazi bagoduka nemvakalelo ebhetele ngakumbi ekuphathweni njengabadlali: “Emva kokukhuphisana kule midyarho iliqela yokuqala, ndiza kulila ngenxa yokuba ndandingakholelwa ukuba ndandingakholelwa. ukwenza oku, utshilo uMcMurray Hurtig. "Kwakunomdla kwaye kuvuselela kwaye kunika amandla."

Okwangoku, amanenekazi e-ROW angaphezulu kakhulu kweqela lezemidlalo. "Ayisibafazi kuphela emanzini," utshilo uReynolds. “Sisihogo seqela elixhasanayo elikhathalelanayo-kwaye sonke siyakuthanda ukubheqa… Asihlali phantsi sithethe ngomhlaza, kodwa ukuba kukho into oyifunayo, kukho umntu okhoyo kweli qela udluleyo. Indibonisile ukuba ndinodade. "

Kwi-2016, i-ROW ifikelele phantse kuma-150 abasindileyo bomhlaza wamabele-phantse iipesenti ze-100 zabo abathi i-ROW ibenza bazive bengaphantsi bodwa, beyinxalenye yoluntu, kwaye oko kube nefuthe elihle ekuzithembeni kwabo, ngokutsho kophando lwelungu lonyaka le-ROW. Abanye babafazi bathi umdlalo ubancedile ukuba baphucule ukuhamba kwabo, kwaye iipesenti ezingama-88 bathi zibancedile ukugcina ubunzima obusempilweni.

"Le yeyona nto intle kakhulu eyenzekileyo kum ukuba ndiphume kwesi sifo," utshilo uJeannine Love, 40, owafunyaniswa ngoSeptemba ka-2016 kwaye wajoyina iROW ngoMatshi. Wayengumhlolokazi kwiminyaka nje emihlanu ngaphambi kokuba afunyaniswe, kwaye wathi ukuzilolonga yenye yeendlela eziphambili awamelana ngazo nokusweleka kweqabane lakhe. Xa efumene ukuxilongwa kwakhe komhlaza, wabuyela ekusebenziseni kwakhona: "Impendulo yam ngokukhawuleza yayikukuba ndifuna ukuba sempilweni kangangoko ndinako ukuya kuyo. Ndaqala ukuqeqesha umhlaza, ngokukodwa, "utsho. "Uziva ungento yanto xa ujongene nento efana nomhlaza, kwaye oku kundenze ndaziva ndikwazi ukuyilungiselela, nangona kuncinci onokukwenza ukuzilungiselela."

Njengamanye amalungu amaninzi eROW, Uthando lusephantsi konyango, kodwa akaluvumeli ukuba lumvimbe ekubheqeni rhoqo: “Ndikhumbula ndisiya kuqheliselo lwam lokuqala kwaye wonke umntu wayejinga ngaphambili kwaye kwacaca ukuba awuzange” vele uvele uzilolonge ugoduke. Bangabahlobo. Luluntu, utshilo. "Ndandisoyika ukuphuma kweso sikhephe ekuqaleni, kwaye ngoku andinakulinda ukuphuma emanzini."

Kuvakala ngathi liqela eliphumelelayo kuthi.
