Cindy Jacobsz en haar dogter Erica van Boston in Bellville het op Saterdag 19 Februarie as die enigste siggestremde span aan die Woolies Xtri in perfekte weersomstandighede op Paul Cluver-plaas deelgeneem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns was bevoorreg om toestemming te kry van die organiseerders van die Xtri as die enigste siggestremde span om aan die driekamp deel te neem, waar ons in die 400 m-oopwater-swem, die 12 km MTB-fietsrit en die 5 km-roetelopie (trail run<\/span>) in aksie was. Erica was my gids en dit was nie die eerste keer dat ons as ma en dogter aan \u2019n driekamp deelgeneem het nie \u2013 ons het in 2019 aan die Afrika-parakampioenskappe in Mauritius deelgeneem en \u2019n goue-medalje gewen,\u201d vertel Cindy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Die swem was sonder \u2019n duikpak aangesien die temperatuur van die water 24 \u00b0C was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDie swem was \u2019n baie veilige en aangename swem en ek het \u2019n paar keer \u2019n paar ekstra meters bygesit omdat ek weg van Erica geswem het. Ons is aan mekaar gebind met \u2019n rekbare band wat tot 1,5 m kan rek, om te verseker dat ek nie die hele dam vol swem nie. Erica moes maar geduldig wees en my terugroep op die roete,\u201d skerts sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cN\u00e1 die swem het die tandem-fietsry in die oorgang gewag en ons het soos \u2019n geoliede masjien in die heuwels en wingerde weggetrek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOns het skielik op \u2019n afdraande gestop en Erica het ges\u00ea \u2018water\u2019. Die fotograaf wat die driekamp gedek het, het ges\u00ea as ons deur die water ry, is ons op video. Ek dink dit was Erica se eerste keer om met \u2019n tandem deur water te ry. Ons is deur en al laggend en kreunend teen die kontoerwal op. Dit was \u2019n belewenis om tussen die bome en wingerde te ry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNet voor die einde het een van die beamptes van Driekamp Suid-Afrika ons gemaan van gevaar by nog \u2019n kontoerwal wat ons nie so maklik kon oorkom nie. Ons het ewe galant gestop, afgeklim en die tandem oor die wal gestoot. Die toeskouers het ons heeltyd aangemoedig en dit was baie inspirerend,\u201d s\u00ea Jacobsz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Die 5 km het hulle met grasie aangepak en lekker gestap soos hulle hulself belowe het \u2013 op die enkelspoorpaadjie en waar dit nie \u201cveilig\u201d was vir \u2019n siggestremde nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOns het die driekamp met fleur voltooi, en dit was \u2019n besonderse geleentheid. Ek wil alle siggestremde atlete aanmoedig om aan wedrenne deel te neem, hul behoeftes uit te leef en hul doelstellings te bereik,\u201d s\u00ea sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chris Hitchcock, die fotograaf, het op sy Facebook-blad geskryf Jacobsz inspireer hom en hy voel hy kan die w\u00eareld oorwin nadat hy bevoorreg was om binne 100 m binne haar ruimte te wees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Cindy Jacobsz en haar dogter Erica van Boston in Bellville het op Saterdag 19 Februarie as die enigste siggestremde span aan die Woolies Xtri
