\u2019n Welkomiet wat diep spore in die gemeenskap gelaat het, verlaat haar tuisdorp n\u00e1 52 jaar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hannetjie Strydom (81) is \u2019n marathon-legende. Nie net het sy tien voltooide Comrades-wedlope (wat haar \u2019n groennommer verseker het) om mee te spog nie, maar sy is ook die eerste vroue-atleet van Welkom en die tweede een in die Vrystaat om di\u00e9 eer te kry. Sy het haar geraamde Comrades-medaljes en groennommer aan die Goudveld Multisport-hardloopklub geskenk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk glo my fiksheid het tot my goeie gesondheid op my ouderdom bygedra,\u201d s\u00ea Strydom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy het in 1976 begin hardloop en haar eerste marathon was \u2019n 16 km lange wedloop tussen Odendaalsrus en Welkom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit was bekend as die \u2018Kindergarten\u2019-wedloop,\u201d s\u00ea sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Strydom is trots op haar groen Comrades nommer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSodra jou hardloop nommer groen word, kan dit nooit weer deur \u2019n ander hardloper gebruik word nie,\u201d s\u00ea sy met trots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy het in 1982 by die Welkom Harriers-klub aangesluit, wat toe later Goudveld Multisport geword het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2007 is Strydom beseer toe \u2019n motor haar tydens \u2019n wedloop getref het. Nadat sy herstel het, het sy begin met 10 km lange snelstap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Strydom het al oral in Suid-Afrika en ook Namibi\u00eb staptoere en wandelroetes voltooi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Sy het in hierdie tydperk \u2019n vyftig Park Run banier ontvang.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tussen die stap en draf deur het Swanepoel ook aan spansportsoorte soos sagtebal en netbal deel geneem, maar woorde is haar speelgoed en onder haar vriende is sy bekend as die taalpolisie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Strydom beskik ook oor \u2019n goeie algemene kennis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sy sing graag en is haar hele lewe lank in die Welkom Wes-koor, en was ook deel van die Sibel van Rooyen-koor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk hou van klassieke musiek. Ek hou van die lewe, ek hou van eet en ek hou van my wonderlike vriende wat my jonk hou.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Strydom gaan nou in Australi\u00eb saam met haar dogter, Janise, woon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk gaan Welkom mis. Ek woon nou amper 60 jaar hier. Toe ek in Welkom aangekom het was dit vaal, net \u2019n horison en 360 \u00b0 se uitsig van niks nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDit het my drie maande gevat om te leer om na die mense te kyk, hulle raak te sien. Toe begin ek my avontuur in Welkom geniet.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u2019n Welkomiet wat diep spore in die gemeenskap gelaat het, verlaat haar tuisdorp n\u00e1 52
