Ukuphuma kumlenze webhayisikili kwi-2014 ye-Ironman World Championship e-Kona, HI, uMirinda "Rinny" uCarfrae uhleli imizuzu eyi-14 kunye nemizuzwana ye-30 emva kwenkokeli. Kodwa indawo yamandla yase-Australia yagxotha abafazi abasixhenxe phambi kwakhe, iphela iseta irekhodi 2:50:27 ixesha lokubaleka Isithathu Isihloko seNtshatsheli yeHlabathi ye-Ironman.

Kuthathwa ngokubanzi njengeyona mbaleki ibalaseleyo kwezemidlalo, u-5'3 '', uCarfrae oneminyaka engama-34 ukwanguye ophethe irekhodi elipheleleyo kwikhosi kaKona edumileyo yokutshayelwa ngumoya ngokutshisa intsimi yamadaka amnyama ngexesha le-8: 52: 14. Ukhuphiswano eKona amatyeli amathandathu, efikelela eqongeni ngalo lonke ixesha.

UCarfrae uqeqesha iiyure ezingama-30 ngeveki kwaye ngamanye amaxesha ngaphezulu kwexesha lakhe lokubaleka-ebaleka iimayile ezingama-60 ngeveki ngaphezulu kweentsuku ezintandathu. Yongezwa ukudada iintsuku ezintandathu ngeveki kunye nokuhamba ngeebhayisikile ezintlanu. Sidinwe nje ukucinga ngayo.

Yintoni egcina uCarfrae eqhubeka ezindleleni, ngaphandle kobuntu bakhe obusebenzayo kunye nokhuphiswano olunzima? Ubume wabanjwa kunye naye eMile High Run Club ukuzilolonga eNew York City ukufumana.

Imilo: Yintoni egcina ukhuthazeka?

UMirinda Carfrae (MC): I-Kona ngokwayo iyakhuthaza ngokwaneleyo kum. Ndikhubekile kulomdyarho ukuqala kwam umdlalo. Kukho into ekhethekileyo malunga nomsitho. Ndihlala ndizabalazela ukubona ukuba yintoni endinokuyenza kwiSiqithi Esikhulu kolu gqatso. Yilonto endiqhubayo. Yiyo inkuthazo yam.

Imilo:Yintoni eyona nto uyithandayo ngokubaleka?

MC: Into endiyithandayo ngokusebenza kukhululeke kakhulu. Ndiyifumana iyonyango. Ndenza ixesha elininzi emva kwemini imitsi elula phambi kokuba kuhlwe, kwaye kufana nokuthatha uhambo. Xa ufanelekile ngokwenene, kufana nokuphuma nje uye kuhambo olumnandi, nokuphumla. Lunyango oluyinxalenye, kodwa lundithathele indawo ezininzi.

Imilo:Leliphi icebiso lakho lesantya sokubaleka ngokukhawuleza?

MC: I-Treadmill ngundoqo kwisantya. I-Cadence ibaluleke kakhulu. Kwaye ukwenza i-30-yesibini okanye i-20-yesibini pickups. Ndenza ezo ngaphambi kweseshoni nganye enzima ukuze nje umzimba wam uhambe. Ngezinye iintsuku, ndiza kusuka nje ebhayisekileni, ndinyathele umatshini wokunyathela, ndenze i-pickups. Ndizakwenza imizuzwana eyi-20, imizuzwana engama-30 ndiphume. Loo nto yenza ukuba inkqubo yakho yemithambo-luvo idubule. (Ukusebenza kwe-Treadmill yenye ye-7 Running Tricks ukukunceda ukuba ukhawuleze kwiMozulu eshushu.)

Imilo:Ucinga ntoni ngelixa uqeqeshwa?

MC: Ngokuqinisekileyo kukho izinto ezininzi ezingalindelekanga, Ndifuna ukwenza imisebenzi yasekhaya chwetheza izinto ezibalekayo engqondweni yakho ngenxa yokuba uninzi loqeqesho lwakho alugxilanga kakhulu. Wenza iimayile ezininzi apho ulapha ngebhayisikile iiyure ezintlanu kwaye awenzi nzame zinzima. Ke kuninzi kakhulu okungahleliwe "off with the fairies" Ndiyathanda ukuyibiza. Xa kukho iiseshoni ezijolise ngakumbi-mhlawumbi ukukhwela ibhayisekile esemgangathweni, ukulingwa kwexesha, iinjongo zokubaleka-ngokuqinisekileyo ndiya kugxila ngakumbi.

Imilo:Unazo naziphi na ii-mantras zokuya?

MC: Hayi ncma. Ndiyayenza nje? Hayi, andiphindi ndiyiphinde engqondweni yam. Ndiyayenza nje.

Imilo:Ngamagama amathathu e-Ironman World kunye nokugqitywa kweepodium ezintandathu, ndibheja ukuba unawo umzuzu we-Ironman owuthandayo.

MC: Owam umzuzu endiwuthandayo we-Ironman yayikuBuntshatsheli beHlabathi be-Ironman bowama-2013 xa ndandiwela umgca wokugqibela kwaye umyeni wam [umgcini werekhodi wase-Ironman waseMelika uTimothy O'Donnell] wayendilindile entanjeni. Ugqibe isihlanu kugqatso lwamadoda. Besitshata emva kwenyanga enesiqingatha, ke ibingumzuzu okhethekileyo kuthi sobabini. (Sithetha ngemidyarho, jonga la maxesha ali-12 aMangalisayo.)

Imilo:Yeyiphi indawo oyithandayo yomdyarho?

MC: Ekugqibeleni! Kodwa ngokunyanisekileyo, ndiyakuthanda ukubaleka. Ngowona mlenze ndiwuthandayo kugqatso.

Imilo:Ngaba unayo nayiphi na into "onokuphila ngaphandle" kwezinto oziqeqesha ngazo?

MC: Andikwazi kuphila ngaphandle kwe-iPhone yam kunye nerediyo yePandora!

Imilo:Luhlobo luni lomculo olumamelayo?

MC: Ngamanye amaxesha ndiyawuthanda umculo opholileyo, kodwa uDavid Guetta ngumculi endimthandayo kuba nzima, ngakumbi izinto zetempo. Kuxhomekeke kwimo yam. Ukuba ndikwimo epholileyo, eyonwabileyo, emva koko uDavid Guetta. Ukuba ndidiniwe, mhlawumbi ngakumbi njenge-Linkin Park okanye iMetallica okanye iFoo Fighters okanye into enjalo. Kodwa ke xa ndisenza uhambo olulula, ndiza kumamela unomathotholo oPinki okanye uMadonna okanye uMichael Jackson Radio-umnandi nje, umculo wepop.

Imilo:Ngaba unayo into othanda ukuyiphatha xa uphumelele kakhulu?

MC: Ndilungile ekuzinyangeni ngokwam ngokubanzi. Ingakumbi malunga nokutya. Sitya iayisi khrim uninzi lweentsuku, ekusenokwenzeka ukuba ayintle. Kodwa emva kogqatso olukhulu, mna nomyeni wam sinomgaqo: ukuba unogqatso olulungileyo, ngoko ukhethe into oyifunayo ngokwenene. Ndiphumelele iKona kunyaka ophelileyo kwaye ndazithengela iwotshi. Ke sineebhonasi ezincinci okanye amabhaso esiwanika wona abiza kakhulu, ongazukuthenga nje elinye ixesha. Ngokuphathelele ukutya, siya ngqo kwiibhega, iifries kunye ne-milkshakes emva kogqatso.

Imilo:U-Ironman, kunye ne-Life Time Fitness, kutshanje isungule "Abafazi be-Tri," inyathelo lokuzisa abafazi abaninzi kwezemidlalo kuba abafazi besenza i-36.5 yeepesenti yabadlali abathathu eMelika. Uthini na kwabasetyhini abacinga ngokwenza i-triathlon yabo yokuqala?

MC: Ngokuqinisekileyo zama! Imidlalo yeTriathlon ibandakanya konke. Ukuba uyoyikiswa zii-dudes, ke kukho ii-triathlons zabasetyhini bonke, imidyarho emifutshane onokuthi uhambe ngayo. Ndicinga ukuba nabani na oqala uqeqesho lwe-triathlon, bafumana i-bug ngoko nangoko-kuba nje umdlalo ugcwele ngabantu abanobuhlobo, abantu abaqinisekileyo kunye nabo bonke ubuchule abazama ukuziphucula. Ndicinga ukuba iyosulela. Ndingakhuthaza nabani na ukuba abhalisele ugqatso olufutshane lwasekuhlaleni. Akunyanzelekanga ukuba wenze i-Ironman okanye i-Ironman enesiqingatha ukuzibiza ngokuba ungumntu ophumeleleyo. Kukho i-sprints, i-Iron Girl, kunye neenketho ezininzi phaya. Ukuba i-dong yesiqingatha se-Ironman yinjongo yakho, loo nto imnandi. Kodwa ndiyabakhuthaza abantu ukuba baqale ngokufutshane, kwaye bonwabele inkqubo ukuya kuloo mijaho mide.
