Yeyiphi enye ye-Ultramarathoner (kunye noMfazi wakhe) eyaFunda ngokunyamezela ekubalekeni iAppalachian Trail

Umxholo

• Ukukhangela okulandelayo
• Ukujongana noMngeni kunye
• Ukuwela "ukugqiba umgca" womelele
• Uphengululo lwe

Ngokubanzi ithathwa njengenye yeembaleki ezibalaseleyo nezihonjisiweyo ze-ultramarathon emhlabeni, uScott Jurek akaqhelekanga kumngeni. Kuwo wonke umsebenzi wakhe wokubhiyozela umsebenzi, uye watyumza umkhondo we-elite kunye neziganeko zendlela, kubandakanya umdyarho wakhe wokutyikitya, i-Western States Endurance Run, umdyarho weemayile ezili-100 ophumelele irekhodi amaxesha asixhenxe athe tye.

Emva kwayo yonke loo mpumelelo, nangona kunjalo, inkuthazo yokuqhubeka nokuqhubeka noqeqesho, ubuhlanga, ukubuyela kwimeko yesiqhelo, kwakunzima ukulugcina. UScott wayefuna umngeni omtsha. Kungenxa yoko le nto ngo-2015, encediswa ngumfazi wakhe uJenny, wazimisela ukophula irekhodi lokubaleka kwiAppalachian Trail. Thetha ngomceli mngeni.

Ukukhangela okulandelayo

"Ndandijonge into yokubuyisela lo mlilo kunye nomdla endandinawo xa ndandikhuphisana kwiminyaka yam yangaphambili xa ndandiqala ukubaleka," uScott uthi. Ubume. "I-Appalachian Trail yayingeyiyo indlela endandinayo kuluhlu lwam. Yayiyinto engaziwayo kwaphela kum noJenny, kwaye olo yayilolunye uhlobo lwenkuthazo koluhambo-lokwenza into eyahluke mpela."

Uhambo olunzima lwesi sibini kunye kunye ne-Appalachian Trail, ethatha iikhilomitha ezingama-2,189 ukusuka eGeorgia ukuya eMaine, ngumxholo wencwadi entsha kaScott, Emantla: Ukufumana indlela yam ngelixa ndibaleka i-Appalachian Trail. Xa esi sibini siqala lo mngeni phakathi ku-2015, yayisisihlandlo esibalulekileyo emtshatweni wabo.

Uthi: "UJenny wayekhe waphunyelwa sisisu, kwaye sasizama ukufumana eyona nto siyifunayo ebomini." "Ngaba asiyi kuba nabantwana? Ngaba siya kwamkela? Sasizilungisa ezo zinto kwaye kwakufuneka sihlengahlengise. Uninzi lwezibini azizukuthatha irekhodi lesantya se-Appalachian Trail ukuze iphinde ibuye, kodwa kuthi, yayiyile nto kanye besiyifuna. Sasifana, ubomi bufutshane, kufuneka siyenze ngoku"(Edibeneyo: Ndifunde njani ukuThemba umzimba wam kwakhona emva kokutshata)

Ukujongana noMngeni kunye

Ke, esi sibini sayiphucula indlu yabo, bathenga iveni, kwaye benza i-adventure yabo ye-Appalachian ukuba yenzeke. Ngelixa uScott ebaleka umkhondo, yayingumsebenzi kaJenny ukumsebenzela, ukuze athethe-ukuqhuba phambi kwakhe kufutshane nendlela eya kumbulisa kwiindawo zokumisa imingxunya nayo nayiphi na into evela kumashwamshwam kunye neejeli zamandla ukuya kwiikawusi, isigqubuthelo sentloko, amanzi okanye ibhatyi.

"Ndandiqhuba iveni ndonyusa umzila ukuya kwiindawo zeentlanganiso apho wayegcwalisa khona amanzi akhe, afumane ukutya okuninzi, mhlawumbi atshintshe ihempe yakhe-ndandisisikhululo soncedo kuye, ndize ke nenkampani," utshilo uJenny Ubume. "Kwiiyure ezili-16 ukuya kwezili-18 ngemini wayekwitonela, engaphandle kwebala. Kwaye emva koko wayeza kundibona, ndimbuyisele ebomini bokwenyani. Endleleni, yonke imihla kwakufuneka abeke kwa izihlangu ezinodaka kunye neekawusi ezimanzi kunye neempahla ezimdaka, kwaye yonke imihla wayesazi ukuba unezinye iikhilomitha ezingama-50 ngaphambili."

Ngelixa uScott inokuba ibinguye obegawula iimayile zempambano yonke imihla, uthi uJenny uzifumanele izityhilelo zakhe ezivela kumceli mngeni. "Kwakungekho lula umsebenzi," utsho. "Wayeqhuba, kwafuneka afumane indawo yokuhlamba iimpahla kwezi dolophu zincinci zisezintabeni, kwafuneka afumane ukutya andenzele ukutya-ukumbona efaka umgudu ongaka wokundixhasa-ndaphoswa ngumoya."

Uqeqesho lokuhamba imigama emide lubiza amadini kumacala omabini. "Inqanaba awazinikela ngalo kuye kwaye wazincama kangakanani, ndicinga ukuba ithetha lukhulu ngokubambisana," utshilo uScott. "Ndicinga ukuba yiloo nto eyenza iqabane elilungileyo; usenokuba nothando kodwa ufuna ukutyhala iqabane lakho kwindawo apho livakalelwa kukuba linika konke, kwaye emva koko."

Ukuwela "ukugqiba umgca" womelele

Ke, ngaba uyazibuza ukuba ukubeka le njongo iphakamileyo bekufanelekile? Ngaba yayiyiyo le nto isibini esasifuna ukuyibuyisela? "Xa ucel ​​'umngeni ubudlelwane bakho kunye nawe ngala mava otshintsho, uphuma ungumntu owahlukileyo," utshilo uScott. "Ngamanye amaxesha ezi zinto zibalulekileyo kunye nemiceli mngeni zithatha ubomi bazo kwaye kufuneka uqengqele nazo kuba kukho into enokufundwa phaya."

Ukusukela kolu hambo luchazayo, esi sibini sinabantwana ababini-intombi, uRaven, owazalwa ngo-2016, kunye nonyana, ozelwe kwiiveki ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo.

UScott uthi: “Ukuba sihamba kunye, sisebenzela usukelo olufanayo, kwasinceda ukuba sikwazi ukunxibelelana size siqondane yaye sithembane kakhulu, ngoko ndicinga ukuba oko kusincedile ukuba sibe nabantwana,” utsho uScott. "Ndiziva ndinethamsanqa. Kwakukho ulungelelwaniso lwesilivere kuyo yonke into esasihamba nayo."
