I uru atu a Emma Bates ki te Marathon o Boston me te mahere i hinga i te haurua noa o te whakataetae i te Mane.

Neke atu i te kotahi tau i whakapau kaha a Betts ki te whakangungu me te kaiako a Joe Bosshard me Team Boss i Boulder, Colorado i tera tau i muri i te whakararu a COVID i ana mahi.Koia tana nganatanga tuatahi ki Boston, na reira i maia ai ia.Ko te rima ka rite ki te whare rangatira.Inara kare au i manako e kare au i mua i muri ake i te 25 kiromita.
"Kaore ko tera te mahere," ko tana korero."I kii mai taku kaiwhakangungu kia kaua ahau e mahi.I tino hiahia ia kia aro ahau ki tenei roopu me te tuku i nga kotiro tino pai ki te mamau, katahi ka tukituki."
Ko Bosshard, e matakitaki ana i nga marathon Heartbreak Hill mo nga tau e rua kua hori, kaore i miharo ki te kite i a Bates e arahi ana.
"I titiro ahau ki taku kaiwhakangungu ka ki atu, 'Kare au e mohio he aha nga mahi, engari ki taku whakaaro ka whakaae matou,'" ka mea ia."Mo te wa roa he tino pono."
"Katahi ano ia i timata ki reira," ko tana korero.– Ko taku tikanga, i tenei wa, kia hoki tatou ki te kainga.
I whai a Betts ki te tohu 35k i mua i te whaia e te kapa i arahihia e Hellen Obiri te toa.Engari ka mutu a Betts i te tuarima me te wa 2:22:10, te wa pai rawa atu i te ara me te papa o nga wahine o Amerika.
"Kei te kaha tonu ahau ki te eke i te tere, ka mutu ahau ki mua, he mea ohorere na te mea i whakaaro ahau ka whai waahi ahau," ko tana korero.“I pirangi ahau ki te eke ki runga ake i te rima o runga, no reira ehara i te mea miharo i eke ahau ki te taumata i eke ai ahau ki te oma mai i mua.
Ahakoa he wa roa kia whakamahana a Betts i te rangi makariri me te ua, ka eke a Betts ki te raina mutunga ka oma i te 5K tuatahi i roto i te 17 meneti me te 48 hēkona, ka mau i a ia ki te rima o runga.
“He uaua tonu ahau ki nga wahine tino pai na te mea he tere te huri o te tere,” ta Bates."Na te ahua he fartlek.Engari kei te whakapono noa ahau ka taea e au te haere tahi me ratou i runga i te tere kotahi ka eke ahau ki te rima o runga.
"Na ka tino noho ahau me te tumanako ka wikitoria ahau.Engari koinei te 2 maero whakamutunga i tapahia e ratou te wa ki te 5:00 karekau au i taea te noho tahi me taua roopu.
Ae ra, ko te haurua o muri o Boston te waahi e tino mohio ana a Betts.Whai muri i tana urunga atu ki te roopu mahi teitei o te BAA i te tau 2015, ka neke ia ki Boston.E ai ki a Bates, o nga waahi katoa i whakangungua e ia, mai i Boise ki Boulder, ko te Boston vibe te tu rangatira.
"He nui nga hitori i konei, ko te aroha ki te Battle Road me te taraiwa i a Charles me Newton Hills he mea motuhake," ko tana korero."Na te kaha ki te hoki mai ki konei ka pa ki te oma kaainga me te oma i muri o te ara i oma ai ahau, he tino hauhautanga."
Ka whai hua ano ia mai i te mahi whakangungu Boulder na te Team Boss i whakahoki ki te whakatauira i nga puke o Boston.
"I Boulder, ki te haere koe ki te rawhiti ki te hauauru, ka piki tonu koe i nga puke," ko ta Bosshard te korero."Na i taea e matou te mahi i etahi akoranga 24 maero i te pikinga 900 putu me taku whakaaro he tino whakama matou ki te heke iho.Ki taku whakaaro ko matou i te 1300 putu, i Boston – 1400 ft. I reira i mahi katoa a matou whakangungu.”
I roto i nga tane, ko Scott Fauble te hoa o te kapa Betts Team Boss i eke ki te tuawhitu i nga reihi e wha whakamutunga i Boston (2:09:44) a ko ia te tangata rangatira o te akomanga tane o Amerika.I roto i te ao tino pai, i kii a Fauble, kei te pirangi ia ki mua, engari ko te manawanui te rautaki pai.
"Kaore au e pai kia kitea he manawanui," ko tana korero.“Engari e kore e taea e au te puta atu [i te tere o te kaiarahi] i roto i te marathon.Na me whakatau e au nga whakatau tika mo au i te ra whakataetae.
"I tenei ra kei roto i te roopu tuarua, i tino ngana ahau ki te whai i te haurua whakamutunga.I whakaaro ahau ka taea e au te whakamoe te tangata me te roa ake i te waa o mua.Kaore au i timata ki te hopu tangata tae noa ki te maero whakamutunga."
"Ko te noho hei kaikawe pai rawa atu ehara i Amerika anake, engari ko te kaikawe pai rawa atu i te Marathon Boston he mea ka mau tonu ki roto i toku ngakau mo te wa roa," ko tana korero.
