13. Before and after the Spring Festival

The competition started with the teacher's whistle, and I began my first challenge in life.

Lian Feng said to me: "Don't run faster than anyone at the beginning, 5000 meters is about endurance, not a momentary fast, the important thing is to persevere, hold on to it and succeed." He ran away.

I watched his back fade away, but my heart was not calm. It turns out that this cold-looking person is not so impersonal.

Our journey was in a turnaround format, which meant that it was only 2,500 meters before we returned, but I always felt that it was more than 2,500 meters, because there were four bends in the road. Perhaps the straight-line distance is 5,000 meters, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty. But everyone is like this, and there is nothing to say. By the time I had run 2/5 of the way, Lian Feng had already run back from the turning point and said to me, "Come on, hold your breath." I nodded, but I was a little happy. Because he was the first to come back from the beginning, that meant he would be the first to finish at the finish line. From time to time on the road, there will be racers who stop and walk, although I am also very tired, but what I believe in my life: "persistence is victory", I must persevere to the end, not to mention that even the peak is already good, do not compare with him, Ling Yunliang, you believe in yourself, you will definitely be able to.

Finally I ran to the turning point, the turning point teacher wrote a 34 on my hand, I understood that if the 33 people in front of me persevered to the end, then I would be 34, of course, this is not final, I also understand that this is a method of school statistics, used to add points. Well, come on, the real battle, it's only now beginting.

Around the first corner, I saw a couple of male racers on the back of a car. I didn't have any fluctuations in my heart, and they reached the turning point in time, but I didn't believe that they could run the rest of the course on their own. It seems to me that they have already lost from the moment they hitchhiked.

At the second corner, my strength was a little exhausted, and I already felt that my legs were no longer my own. Completely like a machine, step by step. I thought about stopping and walking for a while, but I vetoed it. You can't conquer a little running, what else can you do, can you only be a civilian?

The third corner, this place, can already faintly see the end. There was no shortage of people in front of me, and some people even sat directly on the side of the road, and I ran past them one by one. Come on, hold on!

In the last 200 meters, a boy shouted to pass me, and a surge of strength surged in my heart. How could I be overtaken by you in the end, so I gritted my teeth and forced myself to speed up. I'm on a collision with you, and don't want to rush past me. As we got closer and closer to the finish line, the teachers cheered us on loudly, and finally I reached the finish line ahead of him. My classmates who didn't have a competition took me to the side, and I finished 26th, with a smile on my face. I was also a little happy in my heart. I thought I wouldn't be able to persevere, but I still have to thank Lianfeng.

I said thank you to him afterwards and he said nothing. That was the first time I saw him blush. I thought to myself, even if I was mature, I was the same age. It's not surprising that this is the case, but our relationship has evolved further over time. It's not just us, it seems that the prestige of his sports committee has risen sharply in the class for a while. In any case, our class did achieve good results in this run. Something to rejoice in.

In the next two days of competition, Liu Shuai really won the first place in the shot put. I'm excited for him too. In short, in the age competition, our class won the first place by 20 points ahead of the second class, and the students in the class also knew each other. Looking at the smiles on the faces of my classmates, I seemed to understand something. Understand why the school holds this competition, which is not just a sports day. At that moment, I was suddenly filled with admiration for the leaders
