Chapter 314: The Hooded Man
With a decision, Tang Hao then called Zhuang Jiajie and asked him to arrange for registration. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
This time, there were more than 40,000 participants, but the marathon was divided into a full marathon, a half marathon and a fitness run, and Tang Hao participated in the whole marathon, with a total of 18,000 participants.
There are a lot of people, and for ordinary people, it is not easy to stand out among so many people and win the championship, but for Tang Hao at this stage, this is basically a piece of cake.
On the last day of the race, as expected, Tang Hao easily won the 1500m championship.
The first time he participated in the track and field competition, he won four gold medals in a national-level event, which must have shocked the whole country on others, but when this person was Tang Hao, everyone's reaction was relatively ordinary.
What, Chinese track and field has produced a talented athlete?
That person is Tang Hao? Oh......
Tang Hao's repercussions after the national competition are probably such a stage.
It was like throwing a pebble at the surface of the lake, causing a ripple, and then returning to calm.
Tang Hao didn't care about these at all, in fact, except for Lei Jianfeng who gave him some touches, he didn't care much about the national competition, in other words, his goal was not on it.
After finishing the National Track and Field Championships and successfully getting the ticket to the Asian Track and Field Championships, Tang Hao then returned to Shanghai to prepare for the next marathon.
Non-competitive marathons, the main purpose is the participation of the whole people, for all citizens, a race, in fact, the previous preparation and registration work will be very long, publicity work and later implementation will involve a wide range.
Therefore, as early as the National Track and Field Championships, reports about the Lanzhou Marathon have emerged in an endless stream, and marathon enthusiasts from all over the country, and even from all over the world, are rushing to Lanzhou.
On May 22, when there were only 3 days left before the marathon, Tang Hao and Zhuang Jiajie also got on the plane to Lanzhou.
Tang Hao only came for the honor point this time, so he didn't reveal anything to the outside world, in fact, the organizer didn't know that he would appear in this event.
Lanzhou, the most well-known is Lanzhou ramen, and many people's understanding of the city stays at the level of eating.
However, in fact, Lanzhou is an ancient civilization with a long history, known as "Jincheng" in ancient times, taken from the meaning of "Jincheng soup pool", which is a necessary place for the ancient Silk Road and a border fortress in ancient times.
In fact, as the capital of Gansu Province, it is also the second largest city in northwest China after Xi'an.
Tang Hao had never been to Lanzhou before, because it was located in the northwest, he had the impression that this must be a place with a dry climate, but after he really arrived in Lanzhou, he found that this was completely different from what he imagined.
Gansu has an inland climate, with little rainfall throughout the year, and most of it is desert or Gobi, but in fact, all large cities, or such ancient cities with a long history, will be built along the river, and Lanzhou is no exception.
The Yellow River and its tributaries Huangshui and Datong River all flow through the city, and although there are obvious northwest characteristics in the landform, in terms of urban structure, it is not much different from other developed cities in China.
After staying in the hotel for two days, eating some local Lanzhou food, and experiencing some Lanzhou customs, Tang Hao appeared at the starting point of the marathon wearing a hood on the day of the marathon.
It was a sunny day, but the temperature was not particularly high, making it a good day to run a marathon.
According to international regulations, the total length of the full marathon is 42.195 km, the half marathon is 21 km, and the fitness run is 5 km.
In an international event like the Lanzhou Marathon, because of the large number of runners, in order to prevent congestion and danger, the runners start in batches, and some professional seeds will start in the first batch.
Tang Hao did not reveal his identity, he was in the second batch.
He came early, and after waiting for a while, the entire starting point was already crowded with people, and the picture was not much better than the scene when it was a tourist attraction during the Golden Week.
Around him, players from all over the world are chatting, for most people, such a game, in addition to sports, is also a well-informed dating party.
After a while, there was a commotion in the crowd.
Looking in the direction of the crowd, Tang Hao quickly discovered the source of the commotion.
City marathon, with bonuses, and a lot, like this marathon, the first place can get a reward of 40,000 US dollars, which is close to 300,000 when converted into RMB.
The generous prize money has naturally attracted many marathon professionals and even marathon teams.
Marathons are not very enjoyable, and even top runners have very little chance of getting sponsorship or endorsement, so such a marathon can be said to be a very important economic income for them.
The commotion of the crowd is because of their appearance.
Emaciated blacks, mostly from Africa, are typical of marathon runners.
Most of the people who participate in the marathon are ordinary working people, and when they see black people, they are still professional marathon runners, and naturally their curiosity explodes, and they take photos and surround them, and those black people are treated no worse than celebrities.
Tang Hao glanced at it twice and then withdrew his gaze.
The commotion lasted for more than ten minutes before it calmed down.
Because further forward was the starting point, these blacks stopped when they walked to Tang Hao's side, and soon communicated with each other.
Tang Hao didn't pay much attention to it, but the communication between these people quickly attracted his attention.
These people speak English, which is not very authentic, but they are mostly able to hear clearly.
"Jimmy, you've made a lot of money this year, not to mention fifty or sixty thousand dollars, right?"
"Patrick, where can I compare to you, you have more than 100,000 to say the least, and this time you will definitely win the championship again. ”
"Haha, thanks to the fact that China has been holding such competitions, we have really made money in the past few years. ”
"Well, China is a good place, not only to make money, but also Chinese women, speaking of Chinese women are really more than ten times better than our country. ”
"Chinese women can really do it, the skin is good, the technique is good, this is really nothing to say, the last time I ran the Gwangju Marathon, and then went to find a few Chinese women, it was really a super enjoyable thing. ”
"Actually, you're all so bad, look at Patrick, you don't have to spend money to have Chinese women at all. ”
"Haha......"
The communication of the black people quickly attracted the attention of some people around them, many of them frowned unconsciously, many of the people who came to participate in the marathon were urban white-collar workers, who naturally understood English, and the eyes of this group of black people became more disdainful.
Noticing the gazes of the people around them, these black people looked at each other a few times, and then they all changed the language of communication with tacit understanding.
Listening to their sudden change in the way of communication, Tang Hao couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
These people turned out to be Nigerians.
Tang Hao had been in Nigeria for more than ten years in his previous life, and his familiarity with this language may even exceed that of English.
Several black people still laughed from time to time, others couldn't understand it, but Tang Hao could hear it clearly.
These people did not stop their previous topics, and even began to share some "interesting facts", and even directly told some details of their sex with Chinese women, the content was vulgar and obscene.
Tang Hao couldn't help frowning.
In the United States, there is a famous black movement led by Martin Luther King, Jr., and there is also a black independence movement in South Africa, so to speak, the status of black people is gradually improving in the world.
And after this status has improved, some bad habits have persisted, just like the way these blacks communicate, which is difficult to change for a while.
Especially in China, because of specific factors such as the good life of the machine, black people are still sought after, which in turn makes some black people arrogant, and the black problem in Guangzhou is actually because of these reasons.
It seems that these blacks also fall into this category.
"The runners are ready, and the first runners stand in front of the starting line. At this moment, the staff on the sidelines shouted with a megaphone.
The blacks heard the shouting and followed towards the starting point.
Like this kind of seeded players, there were qualifying tournaments before, and the starting order was also set, and this first batch was completely like international mercenaries, Africa, the Americas, and even many other Asian faces.
The blacks stood in the front row, and it was clear that they were the best performers in qualifying.
"Bang!"
As soon as the starting gun sounded, accompanied by a burst of cheers from the crowd, the Lanzhou International Marathon officially started.
Led by a few blacks in the front row, the first group of runners quickly disappeared from the starting point.
Such a speed also caused a burst of emotion from the follow-up players.
Under normal circumstances, it takes half an hour for ordinary people to run 5 kilometers, and it is estimated that it will take three or four hours to run half a marathon, and the difference between them and professional players is like a ravine.
Ten minutes after the first group of runners set off, the second group also set off.
Tang Hao is in the second batch of players.
With the cheers of the crowd, the second echelon, which was dominated by soy sauce players, immediately rushed out.
Tang Hao was mixed in the crowd and set off at the same time.
"It's finally started, it looks like there's going to be a good show today. In the parking lot, watching the crowd in the distance set off, Zhuang Jiajie took a cone and said with interest while turning on his mobile phone.
Tang Hao's original plan was to run with the crowd for a while, accumulate strength, and wait until the last ten kilometers, and then accelerate to the first.
It's a very safe approach, and at his current level, it's the most effective.
But he is not a robot after all, and there will definitely be emotional fluctuations, and the words of those black people can be said to have stimulated him a little.
took the money of the Chinese government and slept with Chinese women, even if he talked about the details in public, and his words were full of foul language, which made him a little unbearable.
He can't control women's affairs, but at least, he can put an end to this matter from the source.
Thinking about it, after running a hundred meters, he then accelerated and rushed out of the crowd.
Seeing that Tang Hao rushed so fiercely at the beginning, there was an uncle with a muscular body, and it was estimated that he was a semi-professional uncle and said: "Young man, don't run so fiercely at the beginning, you will not be able to bear it later." ”
"Thank you, uncle, for the reminder. Tang Hao turned his head and smiled, and then continued to speed up and rush forward.
The middle-aged uncle was stunned for a moment, and the person in front of him looked a little familiar, but when he saw that Tang Hao didn't listen to persuasion, he couldn't help but shake his head: "Young people are strong." ”
"Lao Li, let him go, young man, you always have to hit a wall, and it's a blessing to suffer a loss. A middle-aged man with a big belly next to him said.
"Well, I'm afraid that something will happen to him, and now many people who don't usually exercise come to run marathons on a whim, and they also run a full marathon, and it's easy for their bodies to be overwhelmed. ”
……
The sound of conversation gradually faded away, Tang Hao quickly distanced himself from the crowd, and then accelerated and ran forward.
As a bronze label event, the Lanzhou International Marathon is broadcast live throughout the race, with two helicopters hovering overhead in the sky, one for the professional team and the other for the amateur team, to broadcast the marathon live from time to time.
After Tang Hao stood out from the crowd, he quickly attracted the attention of the live broadcast.
"Wow, Director Zhou, who is that, why are you so violent!" said Lin Xiao, who was carrying the camera.
Zhou Yanchen heard Lin Xiao's voice, and said suspiciously: "Who? What's wrong?"
"Look below. Lin Xiao's tone was still unbearably excited.
Zhou Yanchen took the telescope and looked down, and was also taken aback when he saw the situation below.
On the runway below, a man with a hood stood out directly from the crowd of the second group of departures, and kept widening the gap with those behind him.
"Who is this, why did you rush so violently in the first place. Zhou Yanchen asked with confusion.
"I don't know, I can't see my face clearly with my hood. Lin Xiao said.
"Either he's a silly boy or he's a strong amateur. Zhou Yanchen didn't pay much attention to it, and after speaking, he put down the telescope and retreated into the helicopter.
When he retreated, he remembered something again, and then said: "You keep an eye on this person, if it is really the latter, this time the gimmick of the marathon live broadcast will be there." ”
After speaking, he couldn't help but mutter: "Hooded Man, Hooded Man......"
Lin Xiao nodded, and when he was shooting, he put it on Tang Hao intentionally or unintentionally.
"Who is that, why does the live broadcast always let him go, and he is wearing a hood, this is a bit of a pretense!" The audience watching the live broadcast at home saw Tang Hao who appeared in the camera from time to time, and couldn't help but say.
"yes, but I've been watching him run for a while, and it's a few hundred meters away from the people behind him, it's a bit of a dick!"
"It shouldn't be deliberately done by professional runners, many people like to engage in gimmicks in marathons, some people wear anime headscarves, and some people still wear superman clothes, this person probably wants to earn some attention. ”
"It seems to make a lot of sense, but it's a bit handsome, and I guess it's the rhythm of the fire. ”
