认识骑车进入记录簿的汉密尔顿护士

2023年,汉密尔顿护士简·卡斯韦尔在生活中苦苦挣扎,但长途自行车帮助她恢复了体力,创造了吉尼斯世界纪录。现在,她出现在2025年的自行车赛中,她骑行了10天5小时58分钟,全程穿越新西兰,平均每天200公里。

在布雷玛医院工作的卡斯韦尔在旅途中面临恶劣的天气和交通。她从小就热爱骑自行车,经常在陡峭的山坡上挑战姐姐。在她12岁生日之前发生的一起自行车事故并没有阻止她;相反,她增加了训练距离并升级了自行车。

她加入了 Te Awamutu 体育俱乐部并努力训练,梦想着参加奥运会。但是,在成为一名护士后,她选择不去欧洲接受训练,而是专注于精英自行车和长距离比赛。

2023年,在人生的最低点,她设定了从布拉夫骑自行车到雷因加角的目标,在十天内行驶2085.4公里。船只和唱片驱使了她。当她从3月8日开始比赛时,她感到紧张但很兴奋。尽管与恶劣的天气作斗争,也有些膝盖疼痛,但她仍在继续向前迈进。

她的支持团队,包括她的父母和伴侣,都和她一起旅行。她每天分成50公里的路段,听播客,欣赏风景。有一些挑战,包括交通和疲劳带来的危险,但这种支持使她保持了积极性。

她于3月18日抵达雷因加角,感受到了极大的成就感。两周后,吉尼斯证实了她的记录,使她成为 “骑自行车穿越新西兰最快的比赛(女性)” 的纪录保持者。

骑自行车不仅帮助她在生活中找到平衡,还使她能够通过约翰·柯万爵士基金会筹集1万美元,用于提高心理健康意识。现在,Jane正在为她的下一个挑战做准备,其中包括参加两项半程铁人三项赛事,目标是2025年的世界铁人三项锦标赛。
