Met sy woestynlandskappe en kontrasterende dele wat die Groen Kalahari genoem word, en ook uitgestrekte vlaktes en rots- en bergagtige dele, is die Noord-Kaap al meer die gekose bestemming vir ekstreme sportsoorte en avontuurbelewenisse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Van die eerste ekstreme sportsoorte wat hier op die internasionale kalender aangebied is, die Kalahari Augrabies Extreme Marathon (KAEM), het onlangs vir die 21ste keer plaasgevind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Op Vrydag 14 Oktober het tientalle deelnemers n\u00e1 byna 250 km die eindstreep oorgesteek. Weens uiterse ho\u00eb dagtemperature wat op veral dag drie en dag vier beleef is, is die aanvanklike afstand ietwat verkort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
<\/div>\n
Di\u00e9 selfonderhoudende wedloop oor ses skofte en sewe dae is as die \u201cBig Daddy\u201d in veld- en woestynwedlope bekend, en trek elke jaar talle buitelandse deelnemers. So was vanjaar se deelnemers van Suid-Afrika, die Verenigde Koninkryk, Itali\u00eb, Kanada, Duitsland, Switzerland, Ierland, Frankryk en Luxemburg.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Die Suid-Afrikaans gebore en oud-Upingtonner, Ettienne Coetzer, was eerste oor die eindstreep. Die 39-jarige Coetzer, \u2019n oud-leerling van die Ho\u00ebrskool Duineveld, is nou \u2019n vlie\u00ebnier in die Britse weermag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hy vertel hoewel hulle as kinders die Augrabieswaterval besoek het, het hulle nooit die staproetes daar gedoen nie. Tog glo hy omdat hy die tipiese terrein geken het, dit hom in sy voorbereiding gehelp het. Coetzer het nog nooit voorheen \u2019n veldwedloop of \u2019n wedloop oor skofte aangepak nie.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wat vir hom egter uitstaan, is die ongelooflike mense wat saam met hom deelgeneem het.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJy kan nie met daardie omgewing baklei nie; dit is nie daar om jou te kry nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So vertel die Suid-Afrikaner, die 53-jarige Riana Henning, wat die eerste vrou oor die eindstreep was. Dit was di\u00e9 arbeidsterapeut van Pretoria se eerste deelname aan die KAEM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy s\u00ea sy het die afgelope sewe jaar \u201cweer ernstig begin hardloop\u201d en dat sy nog altyd daarna gehunker het om \u2019n woestynwedloop te doen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDit het absoluut my verwagtinge oortref. Ek het gegaan met die idee om te kyk hoe dit is en voor die tyd het ek oor baie aspekte gewonder soos my swaar rugsak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMaar ek het met vreugde gehardloop; vry, en sonder laste.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy het baie gefokus en berekenend gehardloop, maar haarself nooit gedruk nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die \u201cbrutal beauty\u201d van die omgewing en die groot hoeveelheid vo\u00ebls was van die aspekte wat tot haar besondere spirituele ervaring bygedra het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGee jou oor aan die omgewing; word een met dit waarmee jy besig is,\u201d is Henning, wat al \u2019n paar 100 Milers op haar kerfstok het, se raad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sielsverrykende avontuur<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Die KAEM is fisies en geestelik uitdagend en verg behoorlike voorbereiding. Maar dit word tog as \u2019n sielsverrykende avontuur beskryf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA test of mental and physical strength with copious amounts of soul searching throughout seven days. The discovery of the human body\u2019s ability to adapt to the extreme conditions within a very limited time frame and continually adapt is profound!\u201d So skryf die 51-jarige radiopersoonlikheid Gavin Buckle wat ook vanjaar sy eerste KAEM voltooi het, op KAEM se Facebook-blad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die KAEM-roete strek deur dele van die Augrabieswaterval- Nasionale Park en oor aangrensende plase. Die terrein wissel van rotsagtige dele, sanderige rivierbeddings, koppies met groot rotse en uitgestrekte grasvlaktes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
<\/div>\n
Dagtemperature wissel tussen 33\u00b0 C en 45\u00b0 C, en selfs ho\u00ebr in die koelte. In die nag kan die temperatuur tot so laag as 5\u00b0 C daal.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Die roete is vir ervare atlete van 21 jaar en ouer geskik, maar ook vir stadiger deelnemers en rugsakstappers. Deelnemers moet vooraf \u2019n mediese ondersoek slaag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simon\u00e9 Basson, deel van die KAEM-bestuurspan, vertel dat dit meestal ouer persone is wat hieraan deelneem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHierdie is nie \u2019n \u2018bucket-list\u2019-geleentheid nie. Dit mag dalk so begin, maar tydens die wedloop kom fisiese en geestelike uitdagings na vore. Meteens is jy deel van \u2019n nuwe familie met kameraderie wat ongelooflik is,\u201d vertel sy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elke deelnemer moet sy of haar eie voorraad vir die duur van die wedloop saamdra, en die roete met behulp van \u2019n handboek en kaarte volg. Die roete word ook duidelik met gekleurde band, en glimmerkers vir die nag, gemerk. Water word langs die roete verskaf, maar deelnemers moet steeds \u2019n paar liter water saamdra. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In die nag slaap deelnemers onder tentafdakke, met geen luukses soos stortgeriewe nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2019n Mediese span is voortdurend op bystand en in samewerking met die wedloopdirekteur kan \u2019n deelnemer versoek word om te onttrek indien dit duidelik is dat die persoon nie in die ekstreme omstandighede verder met die wedloop moet aangaan nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die afstande wat per dag afgel\u00ea word, wissel van 23 km tot 40 km. Die langste skof is 70 km lank, en \u2019n deel daarvan word in die nag gedoen waarvoor deelnemers met koplampe moet hardloop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

KAEM is in 2000 deur Estienne Arndt, Nadia Arndt en Simon Kelly begin. Dit word nou deur die KAEM-bestuurspan as Augrabies Extreme Marathons CC bedryf. Basson vertel dat die wedloop gewoonlik in Oktober aangebied word \u2013 n\u00e1 die ergste koue verby is en voor die ergste hitte begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die stand van die maan moet ook in ag geneem word omdat die geleentheid nie tydens donkermaan kan plaasvind nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
