2023년, 해밀턴의 간호사 제인 카스웰 (Jane Carswell) 은 인생에서 어려움을 겪었지만 장거리 사이클링으로 힘을 되찾고 기네스 세계 기록을 달성했습니다.그녀는 이제 2025년 에디션에 뉴질랜드 전역을 10일, 5시간 58분 만에 사이클링하며 하루 평균 200km를 달리는 것으로 선정되었습니다.

브래마르 병원에서 일하는 카스웰은 여행 중 혹독한 날씨와 교통 체증에 시달렸습니다.그녀는 어린 시절부터 사이클링에 대한 열정이 넘쳤고, 가파른 언덕에서 언니와 종종 도전하기도 했습니다.열두 번째 생일이 되기 전에 자전거 사고를 당해도 그녀는 멈추지 않았습니다. 대신 그녀는 훈련 거리를 늘리고 자전거를 업그레이드했습니다.

테아와무투 스포츠 클럽에 가입한 그녀는 올림픽을 꿈꾸며 열심히 훈련했습니다.하지만 그녀는 훈련을 위해 유럽으로 이주하지 않고 간호사가 된 후 엘리트 사이클링과 장거리 경기에 집중했습니다.

인생의 절정기에 접어든 2023년에 그녀는 블러프에서 케이프 레잉가까지 자전거를 타고 열흘 동안 2085.4km를 달린다는 목표를 세웠습니다.배와 기록이 그녀를 이끌었습니다.그녀는 3월 8일에 일을 시작하면서 긴장했지만 설레기도 했습니다.힘든 날씨와 약간의 무릎 통증에도 불구하고 그녀는 계속 앞으로 나아갔습니다.

부모님과 파트너를 포함한 지원팀이 그녀와 함께 여행했습니다.그녀는 매일 50km 구간으로 나눠 팟캐스트를 듣고 경치를 감상했습니다.교통 체증과 피로로 인한 위험 등 여러 가지 어려움이 있었지만, 지원 덕분에 그녀는 계속 동기를 부여받을 수 있었습니다.

그녀는 큰 성취감을 느끼며 3월 18일에 케이프 레잉가에 도착했습니다.2주 후, 그녀는 기네스에 의해 기록이 확인되었고, 그녀는 “자전거로 뉴질랜드를 가장 빠르게 횡단하는 (여성)” 기록을 보유하게 되었습니다.

사이클링을 통해 그녀는 삶의 균형을 찾을 수 있었을 뿐만 아니라 존 커완 경 재단을 통해 정신 건강에 대한 인식을 제고하기 위해 1만 달러를 모금할 수 있었습니다.이제 제인은 다음 도전을 준비하고 있습니다. 여기에는 2025년 세계 아이언맨 선수권 대회를 목표로 두 번의 하프 아이언맨 대회에 참가하는 것도 포함됩니다.
