Chapter 21 Island Training

After the race from Tainan to Taitung, the entire riders and crew of "Rush" stayed in Taitung for only one night. The next morning, take a domestic flight to Taipei Songshan Airport, and then transfer to a chartered flight to Heyuan, saving a lot of time.

Anyway, the senior management of Capital Airlines has just signed a sponsorship contract with "Jinchong", and the airline will provide a small jet airliner as a charter flight for "Jinchong" to transport their drivers and staff to compete.

Of course, the condition for the change back is that their sportswear, uniforms and casual wear all have the logo of Capital Airlines.

In addition, Capital Airlines has a holiday area in Huangliu Town, Hainan Island, which is suitable for them to get used to the climate of tropical rainforests, and at the same time, the cold spring of 2012 also makes them think about a relatively warm spring equinox, and it is best to prepare for this big race on the beach side of Hainan Island.

A very hot race, also one of the overseas elite races, date: May 9, 2012, a total of five days and four nights of competition

Starting Point: The entrance of the play area of Singapore Earth Films

(The opening of the studio commemorates the 3rd anniversary event, so the Group co-organizes this competition with the Asian and World Cycling Association)

Finish: Penang Racecourse, Malaysia

The total length is 1388 km

Originally, there were only T21 and professional competitions, and there were 8 competitions for men's and women's individuals and teams

However, the competition will focus on the Chinese market, so it is specially required that the bicycle association add more T18 male and female groups, and there are a total of 16 competitions in the mentally disabled group.

The two strategic partners of "Jinchong", Yingyang's technical and bicycle engineering experts, had already prepared in Huangliu Town, Hainan Island, and Capital Airlines also invited many people who are familiar with Malaysia and Singapore to explain the difficulties of this race, especially in the hot and humid weather, rain and thunderstorms in the afternoon, and then how to win the best results in the ground water vapor and sweltering environment.

THE BIGGEST OPPONENT "ZHENYANG", ALL MOVED TO JOHOR BAHRU, MALAYSIA, AND JOHOR BARUE TRAINING BASE WAS FAMILIAR WITH THE ENVIRONMENT. Because a Hong Kong airline, a German big cat sports company and the American three-color soda group have signed a strategic alliance, so they fully support "Zhenyang" to win the championship.

Naturally, Japanese airlines also support Masashi Saito, and they have teamed up with the best T18 riders in Japan to form a Japanese team that is the best cyclist in Japan. As soon as they learned of Capital Airlines' support for Rush, they immediately took the initiative to organize a team of elite Japanese cyclists, and they chose Kuching, Sarawak, East Malaysia as their training base.

Coincidentally, KLM also supports the Mark. Davis went to Sumatana, Indonesia for a suspicious training camp, and even the KLM flight to Singapore was sprayed with Mark. Portrait of Davis and his teammates.

Unfortunately, a series of failures prevented Belgian airlines from investing in the von . Peter, on the contrary, the combination of Belgium and German Airlines, along with Continental Airlines of the United States, joined forces to support Jamaican talent athletes to join the combined team for the Earth Pictures Cup International Elite Bicycle Competition.

(The tournament will call this team the European Union, but the head of Earth Film Company said privately: This is the most unfair European and American Champions League)

The people who connected the three airlines of Belgium and the United States and Jamaica with the sports genius were the American Mickey Land Company and the Georgia Soda Park, which first trained in Jamaica and then went to Surabaya in Jangua, Indonesia.

This competition is not only a battle between bicycle teams and bicycle brands, but also involves a commercial war between major airlines, entertainment companies, catering companies and other agents of large multinational companies and enterprises.

When the drivers and staff of RUSH knew about the impurity and direction of this race, it was impossible for them, including the bosses Huang Qiang and Mrs. Wong, to quit.

If they withdraw, the reputation and status of the people representing the country will be damaged, and they can't afford it, and this pressure is all on the 17-year-old Zhang Yuan and his three companions, which is really uncomfortable.

The next day, the airline chartered a flight, and all the riders, including male and female staff, went to Cebu Island, a famous resort paradise in the Philippines, for a two-week training camp in a closed room.

CEBU, Cebu Island, in addition to its beautiful beaches, is also a climatic environment very similar to West Malaysia, after getting off the plane, they boarded a tour bus to the training camp, Cebu Resort of the Mediterranean Resort Group. Unexpectedly, Leo Guan, a sports nutritionist who has been missing contact recently, was waiting for them at Cebu Airport.

On the bus, Leo first briefly introduced his purpose and work plan, it turned out that Leo received an invitation from his friend Mr. Yang to be in charge of this competition, when "Jin Chong" was competing in Taiwan, Leo had contacted his family and classmates in Malaysia, and organized a basic team to be responsible for the intelligence and data collection of this competition.

However, due to the fact that he learned that "Zhenyang" was in special training in New Bahru, Malaysia; Masashi Saito in Sumatana, Indonesia; Mark. Davis in Kuching, East Malaysia; The most mysterious and powerful Jamaican flyer is in Surabaya, Indonesia.

Just because of the strength of the opponents and the importance that major multinational companies attach to this competition, Leo knows that the business owners behind this competition are all using this competition to compete and create greater performance.

Leo went back to the point and said: Everyone is tired, today, you can have an indulgent game in the hotel, you can eat and drink, but tomorrow you will be at the restaurant on time at 6:00 Morning Call and 7:00 p.m.

The next day, at 7:00 a.m., at the regular meeting before breakfast, Leo said: I warn you: this two weeks, our technical team will train you in the strictest way, and we also have a group of replacements who will not be physically different from you on the reserve list, whether you are Zhang Yuan or others, as long as you do not meet our training requirements, you will be immediately disqualified from the competition, and you will be substituted, understand?

If there is no problem, please sit according to your seat today, in the next two weeks, you will sit in the same seat for all three meals, except for the three meals and afternoon tea we have specified, you are not allowed to eat other food, beverages, we provide nutritious water, you must drink it all, can not be left. The same is true for food, no leftovers, no additions, and everyone's recipes and portions are not exactly the same.

Every morning and evening, our medical staff will measure everyone's weight and blood pressure and other data, in short, I will train you as a special forces, and it will not be finished until the end of the game, and the physical examination will be completed, you know? Everyone must answer loudly.

Everyone: Yes

30 minutes of breakfast every day, including my pre-dinner meeting, you have 22 minutes and 17 seconds left, finish eating, and gather in the conference room by 7:30.

In the conference room, Leo continued: "This special training includes: psychological combat and stress management, physical improvement, tactical training, teamwork spirit and self-sacrifice. There is a special training program from 7 am to 9 pm every day, and the lights are turned off at 10 pm every night to ensure that everyone is in three REM and NON-REM sleep cycles to balance your physical and mental state.

At first, all the RUSH riders thought it was a day and night training session on the terrain, especially in the hot and humid weather in Southeast Asia, such as terrain and sweat. Unexpectedly, every day after taking a nap at noon, they went to the dry steam room for fitness, using gym bikes, the temperature was not hot, 38.3 to 38.7 degrees, but the humidity was between 85% and 90%.

A lot of sweat and stuffiness, they know that this is the kind of weather in Singapore. Suddenly, about 45 degrees of hot water poured down, and about 30 minutes of drenching, like a shower, started at 45 degrees and dropped to 32 degrees. After that, the temperature rises again, to 39 degrees, and a large amount of water vapor and a more sultry hot wind blows, which is typical of the daily showers and after-rain showers in Singapore.

At the breakfast session the next morning, Leo asked these questions, saying that for many 'rush' riders, the bike handling is not difficult (come on, this is a suspicion in the gym), but they are obviously a little lost in the rain shower, which can affect the speed of the car and may even cause accidents.

Leo requires drivers to improve their mental quality and the necessary composure in the event of an accident, and the reason for not being calm is because you are not mentally mature enough. Therefore, there will be unnecessary pressure on the driver to affect the results, a poor performance of one person will drag down the overall results of the whole team, what we have to strive for, is to be able to get as many firsts as possible to try our best to get back.

The items change every day, in addition to the training format and content items, of course, the menu and the number of dishes, of course, the beautiful Cebu beach is also a good way for them to train their sports and lung capacity, snorkeling, diving with wetsuits and tools, barefoot beach running and beach volleyball/soccer matches, all of which can strengthen their team spirit and physical fitness.

There is free time every day to call them, surf the Internet and have video conferences with family, friends and loved ones, so that they can relieve stress and avoid homesickness. Finally, Leo decided to give everyone a Sunday afternoon and a half-day off, and they could go to Cebu City for a walk, but they had to eat the designated snacks according to the instructions, of course, since it was a holiday, the amount of food did not matter.

The most disappointed is Zhang Yuan, who has not seen Suzy for more than two weeks (she trained in Johor Bahru and is now an opponent). Therefore, it is no wonder that Zhang Yuan is not sad for Zhang Yuan on the days without Suzy, but helplessly, the two of them are forbidden to talk, and they are also the only people who are banned among all the "Jinchong" drivers.

Zhang Yuan doesn't want to pay much attention to Xu Xiaoyan, he usually asks Sam to do it for him, Sam is also happy to do this errand assigned by Zhang Yuan, Ah Man seems to have caught up with Liao Caixia, do you want to congratulate him, brothers? Let's talk about it when the event is over.

Seven days before the race, Leo led all the participants and drivers to the Changi Airport in Singapore.

Day 1, Singapore and Malaysia Dechen Port

The next day, Timson went to Kuala Lumpur and then went to the top of Genting Highlands

Day 3, Genting Highlands to Ipoh

On the fourth day, Ipoh will go to Arosetta, then go to Perlis, cross the Strait and go to Pulau Kawi

On the fifth day, Mulberry crossed over to Yihuan Island, then crossed the Strait, and returned to Butter Good, entered the south of Ringang Island from the New Ring Bridge, and then went to the racecourse to the final point of the racecourse.

On the morning of the sixth day, take the airline's private jet ready to return to Singapore.

After going back, I had one last meeting, and then I went to 8:00 early to turn off the lights and rest.

I woke up at 3:30 a.m. on the seventh day, and everything went according to plan.
