Kunena mokoma mtima, kuthamanga sikunakhalepo suti yanga yamphamvu. Mwezi wapitawo, kutali kwambiri komwe ndidathamangako kunali kwinakwake mamailosi atatu. Sindinawonepo mfundo, kapena chisangalalo, pakuthamanga kwanthawi yayitali. M'malo mwake, nthawi ina ndinapereka mtsutso womveka wotsutsa masewerawa kuti ndipewe kuthamanga ndi chibwenzi.

Choncho, pamene ine anauza anzanga ndi banja ine ndikhala nawo Lululemon a SeaWheeze Half Marathon mu Vancouver mwezi watha, zochita zinali zomveka kusokonezeka. Ena anali amwano: "Simuthawa. Simungachite izi."

Ngakhale zinali choncho, kukonzekera kunali kosangalatsa: Kugula ma sneakers oyenera othamanga, kufufuza mapulani oyambira oyambira, kukambirana ndi anzawo za zomwe adakumana nazo pa mpikisano woyamba, komanso kugula makatoni amadzi a kokonati kunakhala zokonda. Koma pamene zida zinali kukulira, ndinali ndi zochepa zowonetsa pankhani ya maphunziro enieni.

Ndinkadziwa chomwe maphunzirowo anali akuyenera kuwoneka ngati (mukudziwa, kuphatikiza kwakanthawi kochepa, kuphunzitsa mphamvu, komanso kuthamanga kwakanthawi, kupanga ma mileage pang'onopang'ono), koma masabata omwe amatsogolera mpikisanowu anali ndi mailo kapena awiri pambuyo pa ntchito, kenako kukagona (mu Kudziteteza kwanga, kuyenda kwa maola awiri kumatanthauza kuti nthawi zambiri sindinayambe kuthamanga mpaka 9 koloko masana). Ndinakhumudwa chifukwa chosapita patsogolo - ngakhale zabwino kwambiri Amayi enieni apanyumba marathons pa TV yopanga treadmill sakanakhoza kundipangitsa ine kupitirira malire anga.

Monga woyamba (ndi masabata asanu ndi awiri okha oti ndiphunzitse), ndinayamba kuzindikira kuti mwinamwake ine anali pamwamba pamutu panga. Ndinaganiza kuti sindidzayesa kuyendetsa chinthu chonsecho. Cholinga changa: kungomaliza.

Pamapeto pake, ndinafika pamtunda wamakilomita asanu ndi limodzi (kuphatikiza kuthamanga kwa mphindi zitatu ndikuyenda ziwiri) pa chopondapo changa chotembereredwa-chinthu cholimbikitsa, koma chamanyazi ngakhale 10K. Koma ngakhale tsiku la SeaWheeze likuyandikira ngati pap smear yanga yapachaka, kutangwanika kwanga kunapangitsa kuti zisakhale zovuta. Sabata imodzi mpikisano usanachitike, ndidaponya chopukutira mwanzeru ndipo ndidaganiza zongozisiya mwangozi.

Nditangofika ku Vancouver, ndinali wokondwa: pazomwe zandichitikira komanso malo okongola a Stanley Park-ndipo ndinali ndi chiyembekezo kuti ndikwanitsa kupyola ma 13.1 mamailosi osadzichititsa manyazi kapena kudzivulaza. (Ndidayenera kutsitsidwa pamapiri pomwe ndidakumana koyamba pa skiing ku Vail.)

Komabe, pamene alamu yanga inalira pa 5:45 a.m. pa tsiku la mpikisano, ndinatsala pang’ono kusiya. ("Kodi sindingathe kunena kuti ndachita? Ndani angadziwedi?") Othamanga anzanga anali akale a marathon omwe anali ndi njira zovuta kuti athetse ma bests awo - amalemba maulendo awo a mtunda mpaka wachiwiri m'manja mwawo ndikupaka Vaseline pa iwo. mapazi. Ndinakonzekera zoyipa.

Kenako, tinayamba-ndipo china chake chinasintha. Makilomita anayamba kudziunjikira. Pomwe ndimakhala ndikuyenda theka la nthawi, sindimafuna kuyima. Mphamvu ya mafani-aliyense kuchokera kwa mfumukazi kupita ku paddleboarders kunja kwa Pacific-ndipo njira yabwino kwambiri yakufa idapangitsa kuti isafanane ndi aliyense payekha. Mwanjira ina, mwanjira ina, ndinali kuyesera kunena kuti-zosangalatsa. (Yogwirizana: 4 Njira Zosayembekezereka Zophunzitsira Marathon)

Chifukwa chosowa zikwangwani zamakilomita komanso wotchi yondiuza kutalika komwe ndapita, ndidangopitilira. Pomwe ndimakhala kuti ndatsala pang'ono kufika polekezera, ndidafunsa wothamanga pafupi nane ngati akudziwa mtunda womwe tayenda. Adandiuza 9.2. Chizindikiro: adrenaline. Ndili ndi mailosi anayi okha - imodzi yochulukirapo kuposa yomwe ndidathamangapo masabata angapo apitawo-ndinapitilirabe. Zinali zovuta. (Mwa njira inayake ndinatuluka matuza pafupifupi chala chilichonse.) Ndipo, nthaŵi zina, ndinkafunika kuchepetsa liŵiro langa. Koma kuthamangira kumapeto (ndimathamanga kwambiri!) Zinali zosangalatsa kwambiri - makamaka kwa munthu amene akumva kuwawa kuyambira pomwe adakakamizidwa kuthamanga kilomita imodzi.

Ndakhala ndikumva othamanga akulalikira zamatsenga zamasiku othamanga, maphunziro, owonera, ndi mphamvu zomwe zilipo pazochitikazi. Ndikulingalira sindinakhulupirire konse. Koma kwa nthawi yoyamba, ndimatha kuyesa malire anga. Kwa nthawi yoyamba, zinali zomveka kwa ine.

Njira yanga 'yangokhala' sichinthu chomwe ndingavomereze. Koma zidandigwirira ntchito. Chiyambireni kubwerera kunyumba, ndakhala ndikukumana ndi zovuta zowonjezereka: Ma bootcamp? Kufufuza zolimbitsa thupi? Ndine makutu.

Komanso, msungwana uja yemwe poyamba anali wosagwirizana ndi kuthamanga? Tsopano walembetsa 5K sabata ino.
