Ngobusuku obubhubhileyo kwimvula eshushu yaseHawaii, amakhulu abalandeli, iimbaleki, kunye nabathandiweyo bemidyarho bapakishe imigca esecaleni kunye ne-bleachers kumgca wokugqibezela i-Ironman Kona, belindele ngolangazelelo imbaleki yokugqibela ukuba iphumele, iqhwaba iindudumo zentonga kunye. Ukubetha kweengoma zomculo wepop emva kwe-12 am Iintswahla zentswahla kunye nokuqhwatyelwa izandla kwaqhambuka njengoko uPeggy wabonwa mgama, ehlawulisa amagqabi akweleenjiko awayehombise iarch enkulu ekugqibeleni. Sema ecaleni kunye neqela leBar yeClif (eyasisamkela eHawaii njengeendwendwe zabo), sibambe iintsimbi zokulinda ngochulumanco; amazwi ethu aye atshotshozela sikhwaza esithi "PEEEEGGYYYY" ngelixa esenza loo manyathelo okugqibela ejonge uloyiso lwakhe.

UPeggy McDowell-Cramer oneminyaka engamashumi asixhenxe anesihlanu waseSanta Monica, e-CA, wayengoyena mfazi mdala wabakhuphiswano lwe-Ironman Kona World Championships kule mpelaveki iphelileyo kwaye ngowasetyhini wokugqibela ukuwela umgca-wokugqibela emehlweni ethu, uphumelele ubusuku .

Iiyure zakhe ezili-17 zokuzimisela kunye nokuzilolonga komzimba kuye kwamfikisa ekugqibeleni kodwa ngelishwa akazange avelise ugqatso njengoko wayenemizuzu nje embalwa edlulileyo.

Ngaba unokuthelekelela iiyure ezili-17 zokuzilolonga kunzima kakhulu ku-75? I-avareji ye-Ironman yokugqiba ugqatso lobufazi kwiiyure ezili-10 kunye nemizuzu engama-21, okuthetha ukuba ebephaya ngaphandle kweeyure ezintandathu ezinesiqingatha kunezinto ezintle, eyikhupha ngokupheleleyo, ehlala egxile kwaye enethemba kuyo yonke indlela.

Ngokomxholo, ophumeleleyo, oneminyaka engama-29 ubudala, uDaniela Ryf (iimbaleki eziqeqeshiweyo) wophule irekhodi lekhosi yeKona kwiiyure ezisibhozo kunye nemizuzu engama-46, ebaleka malunga nemizuzu esixhenxe yemayile yeekhilomitha ezingama-26.2, emva kokuba egqibile ukukhwela ibhayisikile yeemayile ezili-112 kunye no-2.4 -mile ulwandle qubha. UMelodie Cronenberg (iimbaleki ezingahlawulwayo) kwi-bracket engama-65 ukuya kwengama-69 waba ngowokugqibela ukufumana ixesha lokugqibela, ngo-16: 48: 42.

UPeggy akaqhelekanga kwi-Ironman, nangona kunjalo. Ugqibe i-Ironman yakhe yokuqala eneminyaka engama-57 kwaye wenze malunga nama-25 ewonke (kwaye ube yintshatsheli!), Kuloo nto siyiqokelele. "Ndicinga ukuba ndizilolonga ngokufana nezinye iimbaleki ze-IRONMAN, kancinci," uxelele u-Ironman.

Nangona uPeggy wayengoyena mntu wayekhuphisana naye, akayedwa kubadala abakhuphisanayo; Abakhuphisani abangama-58 kumsitho ka-Kona ka-2016 yayingabafazi abangaphezulu kweminyaka engama-60-inani elikhulu, ngakumbi xa kunikwa ubungakanani besiganeko siphela (ngaphantsi nje kwe-2,500).
