TERWYL die meeste Kouga-inwoners Saterdag die lang ure van inperking met \u2019n boek of tuiswerk verwyl het, het verskeie Jeffreysbaai-atlete \u2019n adrenalienbelaaide uitdaging aangepak.<\/p>\n
Twee-en-dertig topfiks-drawwers van Running with Friends \u2013 \u2019n informele drafklub in Jeffreysbaai \u2013 het Saterdag \u2019n totaal van 386.2km in hul eie werf, sommige die grote van \u2019n posse\u00ebl, kafgedraf ten bate van klublid, Janine Zaaiman, wat ernstig siek in die hospitaal is.<\/p>\n
Die re\u00ebls?<\/p>\n
Elke lid, waarvan baie marathon-fiks is, moes vanaf 06:00 op Saterdagoggend in hulle klubklere hul verste afstand sedert die inperking afl\u00ea (lede draf sedert die inperktyd elke dag by hul huis) \u2013 plus \u2019n ekstra kilometer vir Janine. Eie waterpunte moes voor- sien word en afstande is met spesiale horlosies en selfoon-toepas-sings gedokumenteer.<\/p>\n
Sewe van di\u00e9 lede het selfs \u2019n halfmarathon, en selfs meer, voltooi. <\/p>\n
Meyer, wat die klub vroeg in 2019 saam met haar man, Sakkie, op die been gebring het, moes nagenoeg 220 keer om haar huis draf om di\u00e9 22km baas te raak \u2013 die verste afstand van al die lede.<\/p>\n
Susan, wat al sewe Comrades-marathonne en 11 Two Oceans-marathonne op haar kerfstok het, s\u00ea die uitdaging was baie moeilik. \u201cDit werk met \u2019n mens se kop, en die kort draaie maak seer. Mens kry nie jou ritme nie.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDit is makliker op die pad saam met jou hardloopmaats. Dit was egter \u2019n troos en aansporing om te weet dat almal besig was om hul eie afstand te hardloop.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy bure se kinders het baie gehelp om die rondtes vir my te tel.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ernst, wat 21.1km in \u2019n tyd van 02:59:00 voltooi het, beskryf sy uitdagende roete van 235 rondtes \u2013 \u2019n raps meer as elf rondtes per kilometer: 30m vanaf die straathek in \u2019n L-vorm verby die motorhuis (20m) en terug. <\/p>\n
\u201cEk was baie moeg,\u201d s\u00ea Ernst wat die afgelope 18 maande twee marathons en 11 halfmarathons voltooi het. \u201cMaar as jy in ag neem dat ek meer as 700m hoogte gewen het \u2013 omtrent drie keer meer as in \u2019n gemiddelde halfmarathon \u2013 is dit sekerlik verstaanbaar.<\/p>\n
\u201cDit bly maar \u2019n tweestryd tussen jou kop en jou liggaam. Jy is partykeer so moeg dat jy net wil ophou, maar dan oortuig jou kop jou dat jy moet aanhou. Maar vir enige iets wat die moeite werd is, moet jy hard werk. <\/p>\n
\u201c\u2019n Ekstra aansporing was dat ons draf-vriendin, Janine Zaaiman ernstig siek is, en ons in solidariteit met haar ons bes wou doen.\u201d<\/p>\n
Volgens hom weerspie\u00ebl lede se meelewing met Janine in die foto\u2019s wat op die dag geneem is. Sommige lede het haar naam op hul arm geskryf, terwyl ander \u2019n spesiale naambord aan haar opgedra het.<\/p>\n
\u201cRunning with Friends is \u2019n kombinasie van \u2019n hegte omgee-groep en \u2019n drafklub,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n
\n Inperking<\/b>\n<\/p>\n
Maar waar het die tuis-draf begin?<\/p>\n
\u201cHoewel die inperking met groot teleurstelling gepaard gegaan het \u2013 van die klublede het na opkomende marathons en ultra-marathons uitgesien \u2013 laat ons klomp ons nie onderkry nie,\u201d lag Ernst. <\/p>\n
\u201cOm gedurende die tyd fiks te bly, het Running with Friends besluit om verskeie uitdagings aan lede te stel, insluitende \u2019n marathon.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn plaas daarvan om Jeffreysbaai se strate en strande aan te durf, doen ons dit binne die beperkinge van ons eie erwe en huise. Al is van di\u00e9 erwe so klein soos \u2019n posse\u00ebl.<\/p>\n
\u201cDaaglikse afstande afgel\u00ea, word met spesiale horlosies en selfoon-toepassings gedokumenteer \u2013 party lede se roetes is kunstig, andere lyk soos \u2019n kraaines.\u201d<\/p>\n
Op Sondag, April 5 het die 33 lede van die klub \u2019n totaal van 1 362km gedraf en 110km fietsgery. Elbe Strydom neem die voortou met 175.5km, gevolg deur Koot Swanepoel (93.5km), Johan Vosloo (93.3km) en Rentia Meyer (90.7km). Hannes Bisschoff, die oudste klublid op 76-jaar, het 29km in sy tuin kafgedraf.<\/p>\n
Volgens Ernst plaas lede daag-liks hul vordering op die Running with Friends WhatsApp-groep. \u201cDaar word gereeld terugvoering aan lede gegee \u2013 die wedywering tussen die dames en die mans om te sien wie draf die verste, is hoog.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n Running with Friends<\/b>\n<\/p>\n
Die doel van Running with Friends is om atlete vir lang afstande op die pad voor te berei.<\/p>\n
Lede pak Woensdae douvoordag \u2019n 10km-roete in Jeffreysbaai aan, terwyl langer afstande van tot 30km oor naweke afgel\u00ea word.<\/p>\n
Sakkie volg drawwers met sy voertuig en voorsien hulle van energiedrankies \u2013 en hou \u2019n oog oor hul veiligheid \u2013 terwyl Susan saamdraf en lede tot ho\u00ebr hoogtes aanspoor. Di\u00e9 afstande word gewoonlik deur \u2019n ontbyt gevolg.<\/p>\n
\u201cVan ons lede wat skaars 5km kon baasraak, hardloop nou marathons,\u201d s\u00ea Ernst trots.<\/p>\n
