ʻAʻole wau he 'ōlapa' oihana. ʻOiai wau i ulu a hana a hoe i ke kula kiʻekiʻe, ua hoʻohuli wau i kahi haumana hoe i ke koleke no ka mea ua manaʻo wau he hardcore wale nō ia. Akā i loko o ke kau kula nui ma nā ʻāina ʻē ma Sydney, Australia, ua ʻike wau i kekahi mea aʻu e hauʻoli nui ai: ka holo ʻana. He ala ia noʻu e ʻike ai i kahi kūlanakauhale, a ʻo ia ka manawa mua aʻu i manaʻo ai e holo ma ke ʻano he "leʻaleʻa." Hoʻohui ʻia ia i kahi ʻano o ka ʻimi a me ka hoʻoikaika kino.

Akā no kekahi manawa, ʻo ka holo ʻana kahi hoʻomaʻamaʻa wale nō - ua hoʻokele au ma kahi o ʻehā a ʻelima mau mile i kekahi mau manawa o ka pule. A laila, i ka 2008, ua hoʻomaka wau e hana ma ka Halemai Nui ʻo Massachusetts ma Boston, MA a ua kōkua wau i ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana i kahi ʻaina ahiahi i ka pō ma mua o ka Boston Marathon. ʻO ka ikehu e hoʻopuni ana i ka ʻike āpau he nui loa. Hoʻomaopopo wau i ka noʻonoʻo ʻana, "pono ​​wau e hana i kēia." ʻAʻole wau e holo i ka heihei ma mua, akā ua manaʻo wau, me ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa, hiki iaʻu ke hana maoli.

A hana wau. ʻO ka holo ʻana i ka Marathon Boston he mea kupaianaha loa ia-ʻo nā mea āpau āpau ia. Ua holo wau iā ia ma 2010, a laila hoʻi i ka 2011 a me 2012. Akā ʻoiai ua holo wau i kakaikahi ʻO Marathon, ʻo koʻu kaikuahine ʻo Taylor, he pahuhopu ʻē aʻe: e holo ma nā ʻāina ʻehiku. ʻO ia ka manawa i loaʻa iā mākou ka Antarctica Marathon-he heihei ma kahi mokupuni ma ka ʻāina nui i kapa ʻia ʻo King George Island. ʻO ka pilikia: Aia kahi papa inoa kali ʻehā makahiki.

Ua pau mākou i ka hele ʻana i hoʻokahi makahiki ma mua o ka mea i manaʻo ʻia, akā ma Malaki 2015. Ka palena o ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi i Antarctica i kēlā me kēia makahiki, maʻamau i hoʻokahi moku me 100 mau ohua. No laila ua hoʻomaka mākou e noʻonoʻo i nā mea āpau, mai nā passport a me nā uku pānaʻi like i ka mea e pack ʻO ke kumumanaʻo: Hoʻolilo i 10 mau pō ma kahi moku noiʻi hou me nā 100 mau kukini ʻē aʻe. ʻO nā mea āpau, ke kumukūʻai ma kahi o $ 10,000 no kēlā me kēia kanaka. I ko mākou puke ʻana, manaʻo wau, "ʻO ia he nui o ke kālā! "Akā ua hoʻomaka wau e waiho i $ 200 no ka uku a ua hoʻohui ʻia me ka pīhoihoi.

ʻIke mua o Antarctica

I ka manawa a mākou i ʻike ai i ka ʻāina ʻo Antarctica, ʻo ia ka mea a mākou i manaʻo ai he nunui, he mau aniani mauna e heleleʻi ana i loko o ke kai, a he mau penguins a me nā sila i nā wahi āpau.

Nui nā ʻāina i loaʻa nā kahua noiʻi ma King George Island, no laila ʻaʻole like ia me ka puke puke Antarctica. He ʻōmaʻomaʻo a lepo hoʻi ia, me kahi uhi o ka hau. (Mālama ʻia ka heihei ma laila i hiki i nā mea holo ke komo i nā lawelawe pilikia.)

Aia kekahi mau mea ʻano ʻokoʻa loa i ka lā heihei. No hoʻokahi, pono mākou e hali i kā mākou wai hue ponoʻī i ka mokupuni. A i nā ʻōlelo no nā mea hoʻopihapiha a me nā meaʻai māmā, ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke lawe mai i kekahi mea i kahi wahī e hiki ke lele; pono mākou e hoʻokomo iā lākou i loko o kā mākou ʻeke a i loko o kahi pahu ea e hāpai ai. ʻO ka mea ʻano ʻē aʻe: ke kūlana lua. Aia kekahi hale lole me ka bakeke ma ka laina hoʻomaka / hoʻopau. He koʻikoʻi loa nā mea hoʻonohonoho heihei e pili ana i ka huki ʻana a me ka pī ʻana ma ka ʻaoʻao o ke alanui-ʻo ia kahi no-no nui. Inā pono ʻoe e hele, hele ʻoe i loko o ka pākeke.

ʻO ka pō ma mua o ka heihei, pono mākou e hoʻopau i kā mākou mea āpau-ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke lawe i kekahi mea ʻōiwi ʻole i Antarctica, e like me nā nati a i ʻole nā ​​hua i hiki ke hopu ʻia i kāu sneakers, no ka mea ʻaʻole makemake nā kānaka noiʻi a me nā mea mālama i nā mea mākaʻikaʻi. hoʻohaunaele i ke kaiaola. Pono mākou e komo i kā mākou heihei lāhui āpau ma ka moku a laila hāʻawi ka limahana o ka huakaʻi iā mākou i nā wetsuits ʻulaʻula nui e kau i nā kapa holo holoʻokoʻa a mākou e pale aku ai iā mākou mai ka ʻehu kai paʻahau ma ka zodiac, a i ʻole ka moku inflatable, holo i kai.

Ka heihei nona iho

ʻO ka heihei ma Malaki 9, i ke kau kau wela o Antarctica-ʻo ka mahana ma kahi o 30 kekelē Fahrenheit. ʻO ia nō mehana ma mua o kaʻu hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana ma Bosetona! ʻO ka makani kā mākou e kiaʻi ai. Ua like ia me 10 kekelē; ʻeha kou alo.

Akā ʻaʻole nui ka leʻaleʻa i ka Antarctica Marathon. Hele ʻoe i ka pā hoʻomaka, kau ʻoe i kāu mea, a hele aku ʻoe. ʻAʻohe lōʻihi o ke kū a puni; anuanu! Ma ke ala, o ka poʻe 100 e holo nei, ma kahi o 10 mau kānaka e holo hoʻokūkū nei. ʻO ka hapa nui o mākou e hana wale nei i kēia e ʻōlelo ua hana mākou i ka marathon ma Antarctica! A ua aʻo mai nā mea hoʻonohonoho marathon iā mākou e manaʻo i ko mākou manawa ma kahi o ka hola lohi ma mua o kāu manawa marathon maʻamau, hāʻawi ʻia i nā kūlana ʻoi loa, mai ke anuanu a i ka papa helehelena ʻole.

Ua hoʻolālā wale wau i ka hana ʻana i ka hapalua marathon, akā i hoʻokahi manawa ma laila, ua hoʻoholo wau e hele no ka piha. Ma kahi o kahi ala pololei me ka hoʻokaʻawale a me ka hoʻopau ʻana o nā laina, ʻo ka papa he ʻeono 4.3ish mile mau puka lou o nā ala lepo ʻino loa me nā puʻu liʻiliʻi. I ka manawa mua, ua manaʻo wau e weliweli loa nā puka lou. ʻO kahi marathon i ʻūhā? Akā ua ʻoluʻolu ka hopena, no ka mea, ʻo ka poʻe 100 like āu i hala ai i hoʻokahi pule ma kahi moku me ke ʻoliʻoli pū kekahi i kekahi ke hala lākou. Ua hoʻoholo wau e hele i luna i nā puʻu āpau i ʻole wau e luhi iaʻu iho a holo i nā iho a me nā pā. ʻO ka hoʻokele ʻana i kēlā ʻāina ka mea ʻoi loa. Akā ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, e pili ana i ka hoʻoikaika kino, ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o Antarctica ma mua o Bosetona.

Ke hele nei i ka laina pau

Kupaianaha loa ka hoʻopau ʻana. Ua wikiwiki-hele ʻoe i ka laina hoʻopau, e kiʻi i kāu mekala, hoʻololi, a hele i ka moku. Hiki ke hoʻonohonoho koke ʻia ʻo Hypothermia inā sweaty a pulu ʻoe, mahalo i ka makani kūpikipiki a me ka ʻehu kai. Akā ʻoiai he wikiwiki ia, he mea hoʻomanaʻo ia; no laila ʻaʻole like me kekahi lāhui ʻē aʻe.

ʻAʻole paha kēia lāhui he mea mau loa. Ua akahele ka poʻe hoʻonohonoho mākaʻikaʻi a me nā limahana o ka huakaʻi me nā poʻe mākaʻikaʻi ma ka mokupuni, a he mea paʻakikī paha ka pāpā ʻana a me nā hana hoʻomalu ke hele i laila i ka wā e hiki mai ana. Kūʻai ʻia aku ʻo Marathon Tours ma o 2017 pū kekahi! ʻ telllelo wau i nā poʻe āpau, "E hele i kēia manawa! E hoʻopaʻa i kāu huakaʻi!" No ka mea ʻaʻole ʻoe e loaʻa kahi manawa hou.
