Ua hāʻawi ʻo Hyvon Ngetich i ke ʻano hou i ka pau ʻana o ka heihei inā ʻoe e kolo ma ka laina hoʻopau. Ua hele maoli ka mea kukini Kenyan 29 makahiki i ka laina hoʻopau ma kona mau lima a me kona mau kuli ma hope o ka hāʻule ʻana o kona kino i ka mile 26 o ka 2015 Austin Marathon i kēia hopena pule i hala. (ʻO ka moeʻuhane pōʻino loa a ke kukini! E nānā i ka ʻike ʻo The Top 10 Fears Marathoners Experience.)

Ke alakaʻi nei ʻo Ngetich i ka hapa nui o ka heihei a wānana ʻia e lanakila i ka mahele wahine, akā me ka hapaʻumi wale nō o ka mile i koe, hoʻomaka ʻo ia e haʻalulu, haʻalulu, a hāʻule i lalo. ʻO ka noho ʻana ma ka ʻāina ʻaʻole hiki ke ala i luna, ʻaʻole ia he hōʻailona o ka lanakila ʻana no Ngetich. Kolo ʻo ia i nā mika he 400 hope loa, me ka hoʻokahe koko i kona mau kuli a me nā kuʻekuʻe lima—akā ua hoʻopau ʻo ia i ka heihei. A kau i ke kolu, i kēlā manawa, e hele mai ana ma ka ʻekolu kekona wale nō ma hope o ka hope o ka lua o ka wahi ʻo Hannah Steffan.

I kona hele ʻana i ka laina hoʻopau, ua holo koke ʻo Ngetich i kahi hale lole lapaʻau, kahi i hōʻike ai ke koʻokoʻo ua loaʻa ʻo ia i ke kō koko haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa. (Hōʻalo i ka hopena like ma ke kau ʻana ma nā 12 Tasty Alternatives i nā Energy Gels.)

Manaʻo mākou he mea kupaianaha ka mea hiki ke hōʻoia i ko lākou kino a me ka noʻonoʻo e holo i 26.2 mau mile, no laila ke hoʻoholo nei ʻo Ngetich e hoʻopau i ka heihei no ka mea mahalo ʻia. Akā ʻo ia ka hoʻoholo olakino loa?

"ʻAʻole, ʻaʻole ia he hoʻoholo naʻauao," wahi a ka Running Doc Lewis Maharam, M.D., he waha ʻōlelo no ka American College of Sports Medicine a me ka luna lapaʻau i hala no nā marathon he nui a puni ka honua. "ʻAʻole maopopo i ka hui olakino ka mea i hewa iā ia i kona wā i hina ai. ʻO ka hahau wela paha ia, ke kō kōpaʻa haʻahaʻa, ka hyponatremia, ka maloʻo loa, kahi pilikia o ka puʻuwai-kahi e make ai ʻoe." ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo kāna mea i loaʻa ai (ke koko koko haʻahaʻa) hiki ke alakaʻi i ka pōʻino mau o ka lolo a hiki i kahi coma.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Ngetich ma hope ʻaʻole ʻo ia e hoʻomanaʻo i nā mile hope ʻelua o ka heihei, ʻo ia hoʻi ʻaʻohe ona noʻonoʻo e hōʻole i ka mālama olakino-kahi mea a ka hui lapaʻau e hoʻomaopopo ai a lele i loko e nānā inā ʻo ia i kahi mokuʻāina e hoʻopau i ka heihei, wahi a Maharam. (10 mau ʻoiaʻiʻo i manaʻo ʻole ʻia e pili ana i ka holo ʻana i kahi Marathon)

"I ka holo ʻana, pono ʻoe e hoʻomau," wahi a Ngetich i kahi nīnauele ma hope o ka heihei. ʻO kēia manaʻo o ka hoʻopau ʻana i ka heihei he mea ʻole ka mea i hoʻomaikaʻi ʻia e ke alakaʻi heihei marathon ʻo Austin ʻo John Conley a me nā mea holo a puni ka honua. A ʻoiai ʻo Maharam ka ʻike a me ke aloha i kēia noʻonoʻo, ua ʻōlelo pū ʻo ia i ka laina o "no mea ʻole" pono e huki ʻia i kahi pilikia i kou olakino.
