ʻOiaʻiʻo ua lohe ka hapanui oʻoukou e pili ana i kēia ʻano triathlon e like me Ironman. ʻO kēia kahi āu e ʻauʻau ai ma kahi o 4 km, a laila hele ʻoe ma mua o 180 km a i ka hopena o kēia leʻaleʻa holo pū kekahi ʻoe i kahi marathon piha, ʻo ia 42 km 195 mau mika... A hana ʻia kēia mau mea āpau me ka hoʻomaha ʻole.
Ua moemoeā wau e komo i loko. Akā i kēia manawa, ʻaʻole i hoʻokomo ʻia i loko o nā pahuhopu koke - he hana ʻehaʻeha loa ia mai ka manaʻo o ke kālā. Akā i loko o nā moeʻuhane o nā mea haʻuki holo lōʻihi, no laila e ʻōlelo, aia nō he Ironman mau. Eia nō naʻe, ke hoʻomaka wau e kamaʻilio e pili ana i kēia hoʻokūkū i ka poʻe mamao aku i nā haʻuki, a i ʻole hele i nā haʻuki kahi e pono ʻole ai ka hoʻomanawanui, ʻo ka nīnau mua a lākou e nīnau mai ai iaʻu - no ke aha wau e pono ai i kēia, he kaumaha nui paha ia no ke kino?
ʻAʻauʻau
Pono wau e ʻōlelo koke ua ʻau au e like me ke koʻi. I kēia manawa ua hoʻomaka wau e hoʻomaʻamaʻa i ka ʻauʻau ʻana, akā ʻaʻole hiki iaʻu ke kū ma mua o 200-300 mau mika manuahi - e pau ana koʻu ikaika. No kahi Ironman, kahi āu e ʻauʻau ai 4 km, kaumaha loa kēia.
Akā i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole paʻakikī ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i 4 km o ka ʻauʻau ʻana i kahi holo mālie. ʻIke pinepine wau i nā kupuna wahine ma nā kahakai, hiki iā lākou ke ʻau i loko o ka wai no nā hola i kēlā me kēia ʻano, koe wale nō ka butterfly. A i ka manawa like manaʻo nui lākou a no lākou ʻaʻole ʻo ke Akua wale nō ka ʻike i ke ʻano o ka ukana. No laila hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomākaukau iā ʻoe iho no ka ʻauʻau ʻana me ka ʻole o ka hana hou? A ua hoʻololi ʻia ka ʻano mua, ka mea, i ke ala, ua manaʻo ʻia he mea liʻiliʻi loa ia no ka hopena hope loa, e ʻae ʻoluʻolu ʻia e kekahi kūpuna wahine makemake e ʻauʻau? A laila hiki iaʻu, a hiki i kekahi mea. E loaʻa kahi ʻiʻini.
He paikikala
Aloha au i ka paikikala. Kau ʻoe i kahi kilogram o 25 mau mea ma kāu pahu a hoʻokele i kahi 150 mau kilomita mai ke kūlanakauhale. Moe au i ka pō i loko o ka hale lole. A hoʻi ʻoe, inā ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e hana ma ka Pōʻakahi. A lawe mau wau i mau hoa me aʻu - ʻaʻole nā mea pāʻani wale nō, nā holo kaʻa wale nō. Hele mākou me nā kū liʻiliʻi. Akā hiki iā mākou ke hana me ka ʻole o lākou. Kū pinepine mākou i nā manawa i mea e hele ai i nā ululāʻau ma "ʻoihana", a kali no ka poʻe e lohi nei, inā ʻaʻole e hoʻomau kekahi me nā alakaʻi. A no laila hiki loa ke hoʻokele iā 180 km ma ke keke kaʻa kauō, a ma ke kaʻa paikikala nō hoʻi. Hoʻohana mākou i ka hoʻokele hybrids a me ka hoʻokele kahiki. No laila ʻaʻole weliweli kēia pae.
ʻAe, ʻae wau, ma hope o ka ʻauʻau o 4 km 180 km ʻaʻole maʻalahi e lanakila. Akā inā ʻo ke kupunawahine, ma hope o 2 mau hola o ka ʻauʻau ʻana, e puka mai i waho o ka wai me ke ʻano leʻaleʻa, a laila hiki iā mākou, ka poʻe ʻōpio, ke ʻauʻau me ka mālie i kahi mamao e hoʻolilo ʻole i ko mākou ikaika iā ia. ʻAʻole mākou e uhaʻi i nā moʻolelo, akā e lanakila wale ma luna iā Ironman.
Marathon
A ʻo ka hopena, ka meaʻai māmā "ʻono" loa. ʻAʻole maopopo iaʻu pehea e holo ai i ka marathon ma hope o ka ʻauʻau ʻana a me ke kaʻa paikikala, no ka mea ʻo ka holo wale ʻana he paʻakikī loa ia. A maanei ua hoʻomaka ʻoe me ka ʻekeʻeke pūhaka mai he paikikala a me nā lima mai kaʻauʻau ʻana.
ʻOiai, ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, inā ʻoe e holo i ka marathon like i ka wikiwiki, a laila hiki ke kū, inā, ʻoiai, mākaukau ʻoe no ia. ʻO kahi laʻana, inā holo ʻoe i kahi marathon kūʻokoʻa i 3 mau hola, a laila ma hope o ke kaʻa he 180 km mai nā hola 5, hiki iā ʻoe ke kolo i waho. ʻO koʻu manaʻo pilikino kēia. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo wai ka mea ʻike i ke ʻano o ke kino.
ʻO ka hopena, hoʻopau wau noʻu iho ʻaʻole makaʻu kēia Ironman. Akā kēnā e komo i loko.
