Ma kahi hālāwai kūkā nūhou ma Rio i mau lā ma mua o ka lilo ʻana i ʻAmelika mua e lanakila i ke gula ma ka triathlon wahine ma nā Olumepika 2016, ua nīnau ʻia ʻo ia e pili ana i kona makemake e holo i ka marathon. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Jorgensen, "ʻAʻole ia he mea aʻu i manaʻo ai e hana. Pono wau e hoʻomaʻamaʻa no ia mea. ʻO wai ka mea ʻike ?!"

ʻO ka mea a ka mea hoʻokūkū 'Olumepika 30 makahiki i hōʻoia' ole ai i kēlā manawa ua hala ka marathon i kona manaʻo. Ma ke ʻano he hōkū mele kula mua a ʻo ia hoʻi ka wahine wikiwiki loa i ka World Triathlon Series circuit, ʻo Jorgensen he kukini mua, a he triathlete lua. ʻO ka lōʻihi o ka holo ʻana o ke kamaʻāina ʻo Wisconsin he nīnau āna e pane ai i ka lā 6 o Nowemapa ke laina ʻo ia i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka TCS New York City Marathon. (Ke poʻo nei i NYC e nānā, hauʻoli, a holo i ka marathon? Eia ke alakaʻi huakaʻi olakino āu e pono ai.)

"ʻO ka Marathon City New York kekahi o nā marathon nui a nui loa hoʻi o ka honua.

"ʻO ka holo ʻana kaʻu mea punahele mai loko aku o ʻekolu mau aʻo triathlon," wahi a Jorgensen, "a no laila ke leʻaleʻa nei ka holo ʻana i kahi marathon iaʻu." (E nānā kākou inā e hīmeni ana ʻo ia i kēlā mele ma ka mile 18.)

ʻOiai aia ka marathon ma kāna kalena heihei huna no kekahi manawa, ʻaʻole i hoʻololi ʻo Jorgensen i kāna aʻo ʻana a hiki i Rio. ʻO kona holo lōʻihi ma mua o ka Olumepika i 12 mile. ʻO kāna holo lōʻihi loa e alakaʻi ana i ka marathon NYC: 16. ʻAʻole pono ka mea helu ʻauhau-huli-triathlete i ka helu helu e ʻike ai he 10 mau mile hou kāna e ʻike ai i ka lā heihei. ʻAʻole maikaʻi ia, akā ʻaʻole nui kāna mau koho e noʻonoʻo ana ua hoʻopau wale ʻo ia i kāna kau triathlon i ka waena o Kepakemapa ma ka ITU World Triathlon Grand Final Cozumel. A inā ʻoe e haʻohaʻo ana, kau ʻo ia i ka lua, hele mai ma lalo o ʻelua mau minuke ma hope o ka mea lanakila. ʻO ka manaʻo he hoʻokahi mahina ia e hoʻomākaukau ai. (Mai hoʻāʻo i kēia ma ka home, e nā keiki. He mea nui ʻole kēia.)

"Me nā pule ʻehā wale nō e hoʻomākaukau ai, pono wau e noʻonoʻo e pili ana i kaʻu aʻo ʻana a ʻaʻole pilikia i ka ʻeha," wahi a Jorgensen. ʻO ka awelika manawa hoʻomaʻamaʻa marathon ma kahi o 20 mau pule. ʻAʻole hoʻomaʻamaʻa ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana no ka hapalima ʻelima i ka manawa i manaʻo ʻia akā ʻaʻole hiki ʻole i ka hapa nui o ka poʻe. ʻO Gwen naʻe, ʻaʻole ʻo ia kāu mea pāʻani maʻamau-ʻoiai ʻo ia hana ʻike e haʻalele kāna hoʻomaʻamaʻa pōkole iā ia ma kahi hemahema.

"Ua maopopo iaʻu ʻaʻole mākaukau wau e hele i loko me kahi ala hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻole, akā ʻike wau kokoke i nā lāhui āpau a me nā kukini-ʻo ka pro a me ka amateur-ua loaʻa kekahi ʻano hiccup i kā lākou aʻo ʻana, no laila ke manaʻo nei wau hiki iaʻu ke pili me he nui nā mea holo," wahi āna. ʻO ka maalea i ka hana kuʻikahi me ka hiki ʻole ke lawe iā ia i kahi pāʻani A maʻamau: ʻaʻole ʻo ia i hoʻokau i kahi mau pahuhopu ʻē aʻe ma mua o ka hōʻea ʻana i ka lālani hoʻopau - kahi ʻokoʻa nui no ka mea i paʻa i ka makahiki 13 i lanakila ʻole ma mua. triathlons.

"ʻAʻohe oʻu mau manaʻo a me nā pahuhopu manawa aʻu e hoʻāʻo nei e hoʻokō," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia. "E hele ana wau i waho e ʻike i kaʻu marathon mua me ka ʻole o kahi mea i manaʻo ʻia. ʻO kēia kahi mea aʻu i makemake ai e hana no nā makahiki. Makemake au e lawe i loko a hoʻolauleʻa i kēia hanana."

ʻOiai ʻaʻole mākaukau ʻo Jorgensen e hana i nā wānana manawa, hauʻoli kekahi e hana pēlā nona. ʻO ka Puke Pai Wall Street Ua aʻo hou ʻo ia i kāna mau triathlon a manaʻo e hiki iā ia ke hoʻopau i 26.2 mau mile ma lalo o 2 mau hola a me 30 mau minuke, me nā mea holo wahine elite ʻē aʻe.

Ua hele ʻo ia i ke kolu, ua lanakila ʻo ia i ka marathoner elite ʻo Sara Hall, ka mea i hiki i ka ʻehā.

"ʻAʻole wau i mahalo no ka mamao wale nō akā no ka papahana NYC," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia. No ka mea ʻaʻole pilikia ka paʻi ʻana i ka pahu hopu manawa, manaʻo mākou e hoʻōki ʻo ia i ka lawe ʻana i nā mea ponoʻī, e kau inoa i nā autographs, a hauʻoli i kēia ʻūhā lanakila i kona hoʻopau ʻana i kāna makahiki lanakila mekala gula ʻOlumepika.
