Die 2023 Bergrivier-kanomarathon sal betekenisvol wees vir Paarlse roei legende, Jannie Malherbe, wanneer hy sal poog om sy vyftigste eindpunt te behaal wanneer die wedvaart Velddrif bereik op Saterdag, 9 Julie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Malherbe het die tweede meeste Berg-eindpunte in die geskiedenis met 49 en is slegs tweede na wyle Giel van Deventer. Vanjaar se Berg sal verdere betekenis dra deurdat dit die eerste sal wees sedert Van Deventer in 2022 tragies dood is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die paar het baie Bergs saam geroei en Malherbe weet dat vanjaar se wedren \u2019n belangrike huldeblyk aan Van Deventer en sy invloed op die ikoniese wedloop deur die Swartland sal wees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns gaan Giel beslis baie mis hierdie jaar,\u201d het \u2019n somber Malherbe ges\u00ea. \u201cHy was soos \u2019n Berg-ensiklopedie en kon jou enigiets vertel wat jy oor die wedloop en die rivier moes weet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk sou hom altyd die eerste paar dae volg, want hy het geweet waar die struikelblokke was en die rivier beter geken as enigiemand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHy sal nie net deur my gemis word nie, maar hy sal vanjaar deur die hele roeigemeenskap gemis word.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met \u2019n 50ste Berg-eindmedalje by die eindstreep vir die 84-jarige Malherbe, is die syfers nie die motivering nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c50 is net \u2019n syfer en dis beslis nie hoekom ek roei nie. Ek roei omdat dit vir my \u2018n lewenswyse is en die Berg is so \u2018n belangrike deel van my jaar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie wedloop verdeel my jaar in die helfte; en ek vat vier dae af in Julie waar ek van alles kan wegkom; van die werk af, my selfoon en net myself geniet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk is mal daaroor om in die Wildernis te oefen en op die oomblik roei ek omtrent vier uur per week wat genoeg behoort te wees om my Velddrif toe te kry!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met 49 Bergs in die verlede het Malherbe die rivier en die wedloop in elke ander vorm en vorm gesien en hy weet hoe om die belangrikes oor die jare uit te kies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJy onthou altyd die moeilikes. Die met die winde en die lae riviere want dit is die onvergeetlikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie resies wat op vol riviere met vier sonskyndae gedoen word, is nie onvergeetlik nie, maar hulle herinner jou dat elke Berg anders is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is \u2018n spesiale wedloop wat \u2018n spesiale plek in my hart het en solank ek fiks en gesond bly, sal ek steeds die Berg roei,\u201d het Malherbe verduidelik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
