自転車に乗って記録簿にたどり着いたハミルトンの看護師に会いましょう

Share:

2023年、ハミルトンの看護師、ジェーン・カーズウェルは人生で苦労していましたが、長距離サイクリングは彼女の体力を取り戻し、ギネス世界記録を達成するのに役立ちました。彼女は現在、ニュージーランドを10日5時間58分、1日平均200kmでサイクリングしたことで2025年版に選ばれています。

ブレーマー病院で働くカーズウェルは、旅の途中で厳しい天候と交通渋滞に直面しました。彼女は子供の頃からサイクリングに情熱を傾け、急な丘の上で妹に挑戦することがよくありました。12歳の誕生日前に自転車事故に遭っても彼女は止まりませんでした。代わりに、彼女はトレーニング距離を伸ばし、バイクをアップグレードしました。

彼女はテ・アワムトゥ・スポーツクラブに入会し、オリンピックを夢見て一生懸命トレーニングしました。しかし、彼女はトレーニングのためにヨーロッパに移住することを選び、看護師になった後はエリートサイクリングや長距離競技に専念しました。

2023年、彼女は人生の低迷期に、ブラフからケープ・レインガまで自転車に乗り、10日間で2085.4kmを走るという目標を設定しました。船と記録が彼女を駆り立てました。3月8日に仕事を始めたとき、彼女は緊張しながらも興奮していました。厳しい天候と膝の痛みと戦ったにもかかわらず、彼女は前に進み続けました。

彼女の両親やパートナーを含む彼女のサポートチームは、彼女と一緒に旅行しました。彼女は毎日50kmの区間に分け、ポッドキャストを聞いたり、風景を眺めたりしました。交通事故による危険や疲労などの課題もありましたが、サポートのおかげで彼女のモチベーションは保たれました。

彼女は3月18日にケープ・レインガに到着し、大きな達成感を感じました。2週間後、彼女の記録はギネスによって確認され、「自転車でニュージーランドを一番速く横断する(女性)」の記録保持者に選ばれました。

サイクリングは、彼女が人生のバランスを取るのに役立っただけでなく、サー・ジョン・カーワン財団を通じてメンタルヘルス啓発のために1万ドルの寄付を集めることにもなりました。現在、ジェーンは、2025年の世界アイアンマン選手権を目指して、2つのハーフアイアンマンイベントに参加するなど、次の挑戦に向けて準備を進めています。
