Chapter 22: I want to give up

The 1,500-meter run in the school sports day was a preliminary, and there was only one run, and when Ye Qin came to the finish line, twelve or thirteen students from all classes were already waiting in front of the starting line.

"Ye Chin, can you run? I thought you just didn't want to run and just slipped away."

In the 1500-meter starting line area, Yu Hao, a sports commissioner in the first class of high school, quickly slipped to his side and asked in a whisper as soon as he saw Ye Qin appear.

"Let's run!"

Ye Qin let out a sigh of relief, and seemed to feel that he had recovered a little, he actually didn't really want to run 1500 meters, but the radio had already notified him that his name was called, and it was impossible for him not to appear.

In some places, the sensitive self-esteem and pride of young people make him reluctant to quit early, even if he thinks he may not be able to stand it.

Cowardly before fighting, and being laughed at, Ye Qin will always feel a little embarrassed.

"Then hurry up, I'll leave you." When Yu Hao saw Ye Qin say this, he naturally had no opinion. took Ye Qin and walked into the field quickly, and whispered in his ear as he walked, "You can take it easy, and run if you think you can." ”

Ye Qin nodded, and one of the teachers in charge of issuing the order probably confirmed his identity, and there were no trivial other procedures, and checking the class name information allowed Ye Qin to go directly to the starting line.

Compared with the sprint within 400 meters, the starting style used in the middle and long distance running is a squatting start, and the standing style of the middle and long distance running is obviously much more casual. In front of the starting line of the eight tracks, the twelve contestants lined up, and Ye Qin was directly squeezed into the outermost position on the track because he arrived late.

A gunshot rang out, and the men's 1500m race officially began!

More than a dozen figures jumped out at the same time in front of the starting line, because it was a 1,500-meter long-distance run, everyone's starting speed was not particularly fast, except for a boy who seemed to be good at long-distance running, or the first time to run such a long distance, and did not know how to control the speed, after the start of the race, the first time to seize the first place, began to lead the others.

Ye Qin was in the position of the outer road, after the start, he did not go from the outer road to the inner road for the first time, but slowed down, ran with the flow for a distance, and began to feel that his body could bear it, but after running less than half a lap, he felt that his breathing was getting tighter and tighter, and the beads of sweat on his forehead kept falling and penetrated into his eyes.

At this time, the twelve runners did not run side by side at the beginning, and naturally pulled into a queue of one or twenty meters away.

After running half a lap of 200 meters, Ye Qin unknowingly fell to the bottom of the team, and the time between the 400-meter final and the 1500-meter preliminary final was too close, and he seemed to feel that he had just gotten up and was on the field again.

It was also the first time he had run 1,500 meters in an official race. There have been many long distances in the past, but there was a time when the bicycle was ridden away by the uncle, and he ran home from the town, running all the way with his schoolbag and resting for a while.

Then there were rumors that there might be a 1,000-meter test, and then I tested it a few times in physical education class.

The sound of crackling footsteps and cheers on both sides of the track rang out, presumably for a long-distance race, and the initial cries were not as loud as at other times.

Ye Qin walked tiredly, his eyes kept staring at the back of the boy who was running in the penultimate as if it was the seventh class, even if it was very hard, he insisted on running with the rhythm of the other party.

"Is Ye Qin too tired?"

Yu Hao's eyes were firmly fixed on Ye Qin on the runway, and after half a circle, he found that Ye Qin's face was getting whiter and whiter, and he was sweating like pulp.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Just run four hundred and run one thousand five, who can stand it?! Sun Yuguang scolded unceremoniously, and said with some accusations, "What do you think, you said that you reported 400 meters to Ye Qin, but what is the matter with 1500 meters?" ”

"I didn't know that the 1500 and 400 matches were so close." Yu Hao felt a little wronged, there was no specific competition time for each event on the registration form at that time, and he didn't know that the two events were so close.

"Then why don't you report 100 meters to Ye Qin? Don't you say that Ye Qin won the 100 meters against two sports students in the second year of high school? ”

"That's not because one or two hundred meters was reported by a few of you, there are so many people......"

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you."

Sun Yuguang also knew that what Yu Hao said was the truth, and he didn't want to say this anymore, so he got up and walked in the direction of Ye Qin, who was running the track, "I'll go cheer for Ye Qin." ”

At this time, the first 400 meters had passed, Ye Qin felt that his breathing was becoming more and more rapid, his throat was dry and painful, his steps were as heavy as if he had been tied to lead, and his body was running by inertia.

But even so, Yechin found a problem.

The boy he had been following in penultimate seemed to be in poor physical fitness, and just after the first lap, the opponent's speed became slower and slower, and his running movements were already deformed. The arms were spread apart, like an old hen with open wings.

"I can't follow him!"

Ye Qin raised his head and looked, the current runner in this group of races was already thirty or forty meters ahead of them, but it seemed that everyone's speed began to gradually decrease.

In the straight stage of the second lap, Ye Qin still maintained the inherent rhythm of the party, and after the penultimate boy fell, he naturally took the opponent's place.

After another few tens of meters, Ye Qin once again surpassed the third from the bottom and began to run with the people in front of him.

Those who signed up for the 1,500-meter run in the school sports meeting, except for a few students who are slightly better at it, most of them signed up to participate in it because they were encouraged to participate, or like Ye Qin, it didn't matter much, and the concept of running 1,500 meters was not very clear.

It was only the second lap, and many people began to gradually lose their support.

500 meters, 600 meters, 700 meters......

On the playground track, the distance between the teams gradually increased, and the runners who ran in front of them at the beginning seemed to have slowed down and fell behind to third place, replaced by two boys who had been in the middle since the start of the race.

800 meters, the second lap is finished, and the third lap begins.

Ye Qin still followed the person in front of him first, running and running, as if the other party suddenly slowed down, and he naturally took someone else's place.

Slowly, Ye Qin couldn't quite remember how many people he had surpassed, he only knew that his vision seemed to be starting to blur a little, his body's soreness and exhaustion had reached its peak, his breathing was chaotic and rapid, and he was snorting like a bellows blowing in a blacksmith's shop.

Every step is a great pain.

In addition to the inertial movement of the body, there are all kinds of vague thoughts in my mind.

"I can't run!"

"I only promised Yu Hao to come and run this thousand and a half ...... because of my brain."

"Do you want to stop and catch your breath and keep running?"

"Forget it, that's it, I've broken the 400-meter record in the school games, and 1,500 meters should be okay!"

"I just knew that I would give up the race and not run......"

"I won't be laughed at if I give up now, everyone should understand, I just ran 400 meters, and it's normal that I can't run 1,500 meters...... If I hadn't run 400 meters, I'm sure I'd have run 1,005 well......"
