Umxholo

• Uphengululo lwe

Ukukhula, imidlalo yeqela yayiyibhola yam yejam-soka, ihoki yasebaleni, kunye nelacrosse. Ekholejini, ndaqubha kwaye ndaba nethamsanqa ngokwaneleyo lokufumana imali yokufunda eSyracuse ukuze ndidlale ihoki yasebaleni. Ukugqiba kwam ngo-2000, ndasebenzisa imali yam yokuphumelela ukuthenga ibhayisekile yam yokuqala yeetrayethloni ndaza ndazibetha kwi-Ironman distance triathlon epheleleyo kwiiveki ezimbini kamva xa ndandineminyaka engama-21 ubudala.

Ndayibamba i-triathlon bug ndaza ndachitha iminyaka elithoba elandelayo ndibaleka kwinqanaba labangaqeqeshwanga. Xa ndandineminyaka engama-30, le nto ndiyithandayo ndandiyisebenzisa. Ibingumsebenzi wam kule minyaka ilithoba idlulileyo, kwaye ndigqibe ama-60 kumgama opheleleyo we-Ironman triathlons.

Ngomhla wesi-4 kuMatshi ka-2017, ndabaleka i-Ironman New Zealand, ndingazi ukuba ndineveki ezine ndikhulelwe ngelo xesha. Ndandilulungiselele ngenkuthalo olo gqatso ngalo lonke ixesha lobusika ndinethemba lokufumana uloyiso lweepeat ezintandathu. Kodwa andizange ndizive ngathi ndilapha. Iyavakala kum ngoku kwakutheni ukuze ndibe nesicaphucaphu, ndigule, kwaye ndineepokotho zokugabha kuzo zonke iiyure ezilithoba ekhosini.

Kwakukho ukungabikho kwamandla okungaqinisekanga ngelo xesha, kodwa ndandinombulelo ukubeka indawo yesithathu kwaye ngaphaya kwenyanga kamva xa ndafumanisa ukuba sinobomi obuncinci endleleni. Ngelixa ukukhulelwa kuyaqondakala ukuba ayikulungelanga umsebenzi wam njengomdyarho weembaleki oqeqeshiweyo, ukuba ngumama ibiliphupha lam kangangexesha elithile.

Ingqondo endihlala kuyo njengenkuthazo yile: Khumbula indlela oziva ngayo emva. Ndikhulelwe okanye hayi, yiloo nto endincedayo ukuba ndiqinise, ndihlaziye, kwaye ndihlalise umzimba wam kwindawo engcono yosuku. Ukuhlala ndisebenza kakhulu ngalo lonke ixesha lokukhulelwa kuye kwandinceda ngokunyanisekileyo ukuba ndimelane nendlela embi endinokuziva ngayo kwiindawo zolu hambo. Ngamanye amazwi, kuvakala kumnandi ukujikeleza phakathi kweeseshini ezichithwe kwindawo yomntwana ongekazalwa, ndirhuqa ibhegi yam yebhafu.

Okwangoku, ndisebenzisa iiyure ezintathu ukuya ezintlanu ngosuku, okundivumela ukuba ndigcine inkumbulo yemisipha, ukuziphatha komsebenzi, kunye nomdlalo wezemidlalo njengomdlali okhangele phambili ukubuyela kwiikhosi ezininzi zomdyarho kwi-2018. Ngelixa ukhulelweyo?)

Ndandidla ngokufumana uqeqesho lweeyure ezine ngentsimbi yesi-9 kusasa, kodwa ngoku ndikhulelweyo, nokuba u-6 okanye u-7 kusasa sisiqalo. Ekuphela kwento eyenzekayo ngaphambi koko kukuba ndiphume ebhedini ngexesha le-10th ukuze ndichame.

Ukuya kuthi ga ngoku kuqeqesho lwam, ndibhukuda phakathi kwe-6 kunye ne-10K ngosuku. Amanzi ahlala eyindawo yam yokuhamba xa umzimba wam uphantsi koxinzelelo. Ndijikeleza kumqeqeshi wam weCycleOps Hammer amaxesha amane okanye amahlanu ngeveki kwaye ndifefa kwezinye iiklasi zeSoulCycle kunye nabahlobo ukuyiphunga kancinci.

Iiveki zokuqala ezili-16, bendikwabaleka phakathi kwe-40 kunye ne-50 yeekhilomitha ngeveki. Kodwa ekugqibeleni ndaye ndenza olu xinzelelo lobudenge ngakwindawo yam ye-pelvic, kwaye ndaziva ndingalunganga. Ugqirha wam wathi yayiyindibaniselwano yosana oluhleli phantsi kakhulu kwaye injalo into yokuba abanye abantu abakhulelweyo bafumane amava abo njengoko isibeleko sabo sisiya sisanda. Wonke umntu obhinqileyo uthwala ngendlela eyahlukileyo, ke ndiqinisekisiwe ukuba ngelixa uxinzelelo lungekhe lwenzakalise usana lwam, kubalulekile ukumamela umzimba wam.

Ngenxa yoko, ukubaleka kwam kuye kwehla kakhulu kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo kwacotha ngakumbi kwiinyanga ezimbini ezidlulileyo. Ukuba ndinokukwazi ukuphuma iimayile ezintathu ukuya kwezintlanu ngokulula ngolu xinzelelo lwe-pelvic olungapheliyo, loloyiso! Ndihlala ndikhumbula ukuba akubalulekanga ukutyhala ngolu hlobo lwezinto ngeli xesha.

Uqeqesho lwamandla lukwangundoqo. Iiseshoni zam eziqhelekileyo zeveki kunye nomqeqeshi wam wamandla bezisoloko zikho ukusukela oko waqalisa ukukhulelwa, kwaye umqeqeshi wam uhambelana nam njengoko nditshintsha. Umzekelo, ngeentlungu zam zangasese, ubandakanye uninzi lweemithambo zokomeleza ezomqolo kumxube, onceda ekubalekeni.

Kubadlali, kugxininiswe ngaphakathi kuthi ukuba sitye ukutya okunokulinganisela, okunempilo, kunye nokutya okunomsoco njengendlela yokuphila. Andisondeli kuloo ndlela ngokwahlukileyo ekukhulelweni. Ngoku ndingaphezulu kweenyanga eziyi-6/2 kunye, ndifumanisa ukuba ukutya ukutya okuncinci emini kuyanceda ukugcina amandla am phezulu ngelixa ndigcina isicaphucaphu. (Eyeleleneyo: "Ukutya kwaBabini" Ngexesha lokuKhulelwa ngumbono ongeyiyo ngokwenene)

Ndigalele ijusi yeorenji kunye necocktail yamanzi ekhanyayo ye-folic acid eyongezelelekileyo ebonelelwa yi-OJ, kwaye ndiphosa inyama ebomvu ebomvu kanye kube kanye ngeveki ukufumana intsimbi efunekayo. Iziqhamo ezininzi, iyogathi yamaGrike, ibhotolo yealmondi kwithowusti, iBungalow Munch granola, iZüpa Noma isuphu esele ilungele ukuselwa, kunye neesaladi ezinenkuku eyosiweyo neavokhado nazo zinendima ebalulekileyo. Ukongeza, njengaxa ndiqeqeshwa kakhulu kwaye ndigijima, ndisaqinisekisa ukuba ndihlala ndilungelelene kwaye ndinetshokholethi, ipitsa, okanye ikuki rhoqo nangoko. Ezahlukeneyo ngukumkani.

Kwezemidlalo, bendihlala ndithetha ngokuba ne- Yiya kwi vs. kufuneke ndi ingqondo. SIZA kuqeqesha. SIFUMANA ukubaleka kumdyarho weetriathlons. Akukho mntu usenza ukuba sikwenze. Senza oko kuba Sifuna. Siyenza kuba isenza sonwabe kwaye siyonwabele ngokwenyani.

Ngexesha lokukhulelwa, uqhagamshelo luyafana. Siphupha ngokuba nobomi bomntu ekupheleni kokukhulelwa kwethu-kodwa sifumana amava amaninzi amangalisayo endleleni. Ndiya kuvuma-ngokuphandle kwaye ngokuphandle-ukuba ukukhulelwa kuye kwaba yinto enzima kakhulu ebomini bam ukuza kuthi ga ngoku. Yiloo nto kanye, ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo, ndihlala ndibuyela emva kwaye ndizikhumbuze ngaloo nto Yiya kwi vs. kufuneke u Isimo sengqondo. Kwaye ndiyazikhumbuza ukuba ezona zinto zityebisayo kunye nezona zibalulekileyo ebomini zithatha iintlungu kunye nokomelela okuninzi ukufikelela kwisiphumo somlingo ekugqibeleni.

Ekubeni ndandikunye nomyeni wam, uAaron, ukususela xa sasineminyaka eli-14 ubudala, ndiye ndaphupha ithuba lokudala ubomi bomntu kunye. Ndijonge phambili kakhulu ekuboneni u-Aaron no-BBK (umntwana oyinkwenkwe uKessler!) Bevuya kwiikhosi zohlanga ngo-2018 nangaphaya-iya kuba yeyona nto ikhuthazayo endinokuyicinga.
