A Hyvon Ngetich aperekanso tanthauzo lina lonse kuti amalize kuthamanga ngakhale mukuyenera kukwawa mpaka kumaliza. Wothamanga waku Kenya wazaka 29 adadutsa kumapeto ndi manja ake ndi mawondo atatha thupi lake kumakilomita 26 a 2015 Austin Marathon kumapeto kwa sabata lino. (Wovuta kwambiri wothamanga! Onani Zochitika Zapamwamba Zapamwamba Zapamwamba 10 za Marathoners.)

Ngetich ndiye anali kutsogolera mpikisano waukulu ndipo analosera kuti adzapambana m’gulu la akazi, koma atatsala ndi magawo awiri pawiri pa kilomita imodzi, anayamba kugwedera, kuzandima, ndipo pamapeto pake anagwa pansi. Kukhala pansi osatha kudzuka sikunali chizindikiro chakugonja kwa Ngetich. Anakwawa mamita 400 omalizira, akukhetsa magazi mawondo ndi zigongono—koma anamaliza mpikisanowo. Ndipo adakhala wachitatu, pamenepo, akubwera masekondi atatu okha kumbuyo kwa womaliza wachiwiri Hannah Steffan.

Atangofika kumapeto, Ngetich adathamangira naye kuchipatala, komwe ogwira nawo ntchito adanenanso kuti akudwala shuga wotsika kwambiri. (Pewani tsogolo lomwelo posunga Njira 12 Zokoma Zopangira Magetsi.)

Tikuganiza kuti aliyense amene angakhutiritse thupi lake ndi malingaliro ake kuti athamangire mailosi 26.2 ndi ochititsa chidwi, choncho kutsimikiza mtima kwa Ngetich kumaliza mpikisano ngakhale zitakhala zotani. Koma kodi lidali lingaliro labwino kwambiri?

"Ayi, sichinali chisankho chanzeru konse," akutero a Running Doc Lewis Maharam, M.D., mneneri wa American College of Sports Medicine komanso woyang'anira zamankhwala wakale wama marathons ambiri padziko lonse lapansi. "Gulu lachipatala silinadziwe chomwe chinali cholakwika ndi iye pamene adagwa. Ikhoza kukhala kutentha kwa thupi, kuchepa kwa shuga m'magazi, hyponatremia, kutaya madzi m'thupi kwambiri, vuto la mtima-zina zomwe mungathe kufa nazo." M'malo mwake, zomwe anali kudwala (shuga wotsika m'magazi) zimatha kuwononga ubongo kosatha komanso ngakhale chikomokere.

Ngetich adati pambuyo pake kuti sakumbukira ma mile awiri omaliza a mpikisanowu, zomwe zikutanthauza kuti analibe mphamvu yokana chithandizo chamankhwala-zomwe gulu lazachipatala liyenera kuti linadziwa ndikuzilumphira kuti aone ngati anali m'chigawo chomaliza mpikisano, Maharam akuti.

"Mukuthamanga, muyenera kupitiliza," adatero Ngetich poyankhulana atatha mpikisano. Lingaliro lomaliza mpikisano ngakhale zili zotani ndi zomwe mkulu wa mpikisano wa Austin marathon John Conley ndi othamanga padziko lonse lapansi amuyamikira. Ndipo ngakhale Maharam amazindikira ndikumvera chisoni ndi malingaliro awa, akuchenjezanso kuti mzere wa "zivute zitani" uyenera kukokedwa pachiwopsezo ku thanzi lanu.
