It's no secret that moms are the queens of multitasking but one Utah mom decided to test that skill while running a half-marathon.
众所周知,妈妈们是处理多重任务的能手,但犹他州的一位母亲在跑半马赛时,决定测试下接下来的这项技能。
While Anna Young was running the REVEL Big Cottonwood half-marathon on Sept. 9, she knew that she'd eventually have to take a break to breastfeed. Five months ago, she gave birth to her first child, a daughter.
9月9日,当安娜·杨正在跑芮维尔大杨木半程马拉松赛时,她知道她最终必须稍作歇息来喂奶。五个月前,她生下了她的第一个孩子,一个女儿。
"I had to leave really early in the morning for the race," Young told ABC News, adding that the runners were taken by bus up the Wasatch Mountains in Utah, to the start of the downhill course.
杨在接受美国广播公司新闻网采访时表示:“为了比赛,我必须早上很早出发。”她补充说道,参赛者们被巴士载到犹他州的沃萨奇山脉,这里是比赛下坡路段的开始。
Knowing her daughter wouldn't be able to meet her on the course to breastfeed, the mom carried a hand-held pump in her backpack. Young estimated, based on her training, that she'd have to stop and pump around Mile 6.
知道不能给她的女儿在跑道上哺乳,这位母亲在背包里放了一个手拿的挤奶器。杨估计,根据她的训练情况,她可能必须在6英里时停下来挤奶。
"But when I was actually running the race, I was going a lot faster than I anticipated," Young, 27, continued, adding that she decided to wait until Mile 8 to pump.
“但当我真正的跑比赛时,实际上我跑的比我预期的要快得多。”27岁的杨继续说道。于是她决定等到8英里时再挤奶。
Instead of sitting off to the side, or under a canopy on the course, she decided to walk and pump.
她并没有坐到一边或是在跑道的阴影处挤奶,而是决定边走边挤。
"In the moment, I just decided to keep going with the race since it had been a really good atmosphere, and I just wanted to keep going," the mother explained.
这位母亲解释道:“在那一刻,我就决定继续比赛,因为比赛的氛围很好,我想继续下去。”
Young also noticed a photographer on the course, but she didn't expect him to take a photo of her breastfeeding.
杨还在跑道上看到一位摄影师,但她没想到他会拍下她哺乳的照片。
"I was just really surprised and I just thought it was kind of a neat photo."
“我只是很惊讶。我认为这张照片好极了。”
