Ndakhala ndikudziwa bwino zamasewera - mwina chifukwa, monga anthu ambiri, ndimasewera pazolimba zanga. Nditatha zaka 15 ndikuchita masewera olimbitsa thupi, ndidakhala womasuka m'kalasi ya yoga monga momwe ndidachitira m'kalasi ya uber competitive spin. Koma pamene ine ndinasaina kwa Half Ironman (a 70.3 mailosi kudzipereka!) Miyezi itatu yapitayo pa "bwanji?" whim, ndidazindikira mwachangu kuti ndiyenera kuchoka m'malo anga abwino. M'malo modumphadumpha, ndiyenera kuyamba kudula mitengo nthawi yayitali pamalo ochitira masewera olimbitsa thupi pomwe ndimatha kusambira, kupalasa njinga, ndi kuthamanga (zinthu zomwe ndimapewa zivute zitani). (Mukuganiza zolembetsa? Yesani Pulogalamu Yathu Yophunzitsira ya Triathlon ya Miyezi 3.)

Nditayamba maphunziro wamba miyezi itatu yapitayo, njinga zidabwera mwachilengedwe; Ndakwera maola ambiri muma studio a Flywheel. Ndinkaopa kuthamanga, koma maphunziro okhazikika adanditsogolera kumaliza theka-marathon yoyamba mu Okutobala.

Ndiyeno panali kusambira. Sikuti sindikudziwa kusambira. Mukandikankhira m'madzi, ndikadakhala bwino. Koma nthawi yotsiriza yomwe ndidasambira mwadongosolo ndinali m'kalasi yachisanu ndi chitatu kumsasa wachilimwe, ndipo chabwino sizikanandiwolotsa mtunda wa makilomita 1.2 kuchokera ku Lake Walter E. Long ku Austin, TX pa November 10.

Zinanditengera pafupifupi milungu isanu ndi umodzi yozengereza, koma pamapeto pake ndidadzikakamiza kulowa dziwe. Woseketsa kuchokera pakupambana kwanga panjinga ndikuyenda, ndimaganiza kuti ndiyamba kusambira msanga. Osati kwambiri. M’malomwake, ndinangoyenda mwapang’onopang’ono. Pamapeto pamiyendo, ndinadzikuza, ndikumakhala ndi zifukwa zopumira pang'ono kutalika, monga kusintha magalasi anga kuti ndibise kupuma kwanga. Hafu ya ola mu dziwe limamva zovuta kuposa theka-marathon. Panalibe njira yozungulira: ndinayamwa. (Onani momwe mukuyendera ndi Masewera Osambira a Mphindi 60.)

Sindinayambe ndayamwapo masewera. Ndipo zinali zochititsa manyazi. Ine adakonda kukhala olimba. Ndimakonda kukhala pamwamba pa bolodi la otsogolera, ndimakonda kukhala m'modzi mwa anthu ochepa omwe amakhomerera mkono wolimba mu yoga, ndipo ndimakonda kukumana ndi anthu omwe amamva choncho. Choncho anzanga atandifunsa mmene kusambira kwanga kunalili, ndinaona ngati sindingathe kufotokoza kuti ndalephera. Kodi mukudziwa zingati zapakati pa mabwalo 25 zomwe zimafunika kumaliza mailo? Oposa 70. Sindingathe kuchita zisanu ndi chimodzi.

Masabata awiri Half Ironman wanga (palibe ngati kudikirira mpaka mphindi yomaliza!), Ndidazindikira mawu anga oti "pitirizani kusambira" sakanadula. Ndinafunika kusintha chinachake.

Choncho ndinasiya kunyada n’kulembetsa maphunziro a munthu mmodzi ndi mmodzi pa Equinox. Kungodzikakamiza kuti ndiwonetse kunali kuvutikira-kudzipereka ndekha kwa ola limodzi lodzudzulidwa (lowonongera momwe lingafunikire) si momwe ndimakondera kugwiritsa ntchito nthawi yanga.

Ndipo adandidzudzula: Sitiroko yanga inali yolakwika, sindinayimire mokwanira, ndipo chiuno changa chinali kundikokera pansi. Ndipo zidali zochititsa manyazi pang'ono pomwe wophunzitsa wanga adatchula zolakwitsa zanga pamaso pa osambira ena onse. Koma pamene ndimayesera kukonza mawonekedwe anga ndikukonzekera njira yanga, ndidazindikira kuti kutsutsako sikunali kovuta kwambiri momwe ndimaganizira - ndikadakhala bwino (pang'ono). Nditakhomerera sitirokoyo, ndinazindikira kuti ndinkathamanga kwambiri m’madzimo. Pomwe ndimayesetsa kukonza mateche, ndinazindikira kuti sindinatope kwambiri tsopano popeza manja anga sanali kugwira ntchito yonse. Kupezeka, kutsutsa konseko kwenikweni anali zomanga. (Onani Malangizo 25 awa kuchokera kwa Ophunzitsa Opambana Osambira.)

Kodi ndikupita ku podium ku Half Ironman chifukwa cha luso langa losambira? Ha! Koma pakadali pano ndikutsimikiza kuti ndidutsa nyanja.

Zopindulitsa, mwa njira, sizinangokhala padziwe. Kuvomereza kuti ndinayamwa chinachake chinandikakamiza kupempha thandizo, zomwe sindimachita kawirikawiri. Ndipo kupeza mayankho enieni kuchokera kwa katswiri wovomerezeka kunandithandiza kuti ndizigwirizana kwambiri ndi thupi langa-posambira, kupalasa njinga, ndi kuthamanga. M'malo modzilimbitsa ndekha chifukwa cha chithunzi chachikulu (70.3 miles!), Ndinayamba kuphunzira maphunziro osambira, sitiroko imodzi, ndikumayenda pang'onopang'ono. Ndipo kamodzi ine ndinayamba kuchita kuti, Half Ironman anamva a pang'ono zoopsa pang'ono.

Mwambi wanga tsopano? Zikadali "kungosambira" -koma ndizodabwitsa kuti zimakhala zosavuta kukhala ndi moyo mpaka mutaphunzira. Bwanji.
