The 40km bike stage has seven laps and riders ride seven laps around a tourist area next to Lake Thomson for a lap length of 5.7 kilometres.

On the first lap, Duke rode very fast, and after a round of Fast and Furious, his average speed on the first lap was 47.6 km/h, which is quite an astonishing average speed.

On the first lap, Duke also rode very lonely, and he could not see a single opponent except for the British crowd of onlookers.

After the second lap, Duke was no longer lonely because he saw the other riders.

After the other runners finished a 1.5-kilometre swim, they moved on to the cycling stage. Duke saw seven or eight riders in front of him, and five or six riders behind him, and all he could see were actually laps behind him.

From the second lap onwards, Douc's speed began to drop because his fitness decreased, and another reason was that there were more and more riders on the track, and he couldn't get up.

Of course, Duke can overtake, but overtaking requires an outside line, and it takes more physical effort to overtake on the outside line. And the car in front is never finished, the bicycle track is a big loop, after a turn, everyone meets again, and after all 418 runners enter the bicycle stage, there will be a group of riders every tens of meters, or even more than ten meters, a few meters, so Duke can never finish the car in front of him on this 5.7-kilometer bicycle track in a single lap.

Duke also knew this, so he simply rode along, following the group of riders in front of him and no longer rushing wildly.

Duke had a clear lead in the swimming event and on the first lap of the cycling stage, and even with the ride, he is currently in first place overall.

The next few laps were relatively smooth, with Douc following for five laps before he began to accelerate on the final lap, counting one over one and a little faster.

Duke was the first to complete the 40km stage and rode back to the transition area for the second change.

He put his triathlon back into the designated frame, cut the bicycle page to the track and field page, and then quickly took off his helmet, changed into an empty cap, took off his locked shoes, changed into running shoes, and knocked on red and blue bottles such as energy gels, salt pills, and sports drinks to replenish physical fitness, electrolytes, and water.

Duke's time on the 40km bike was 55:01 and his second change took 37 seconds, and his current total is 1:12:29.

With a sports watch on his wrist that kept track of his overall time, Douc knew what he was doing, and after leaving the transition area, he headed east for the final 10 kilometres.

The long-distance leg is another route that takes you into Sheffield's city.

Sheffield City Council has closed the race section to only competitors on the road, with no other people or cars allowed on the race track.

After 1.5 kilometers of open water swimming and 40 kilometers of bicycle riding, Du Ke is of course tired now, it is impossible not to be tired, and he has to persevere.

"Come on, come on! Persistence is victory! "Duke cheered himself up, he had already run to the first drinking point, and this race will set up a drinking point every 1 kilometer, and he has already run 1 kilometer.

He picked up a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap, but instead of drinking it, he just poured water on his head, shoulders, and chest to cool himself.

"Work hard! Champion Champion! 150、150！ 20、20！ ”

Du Ke runs all the way to cheer himself up, playing long-distance running requires endurance, but also needs tenacious willpower, and sometimes you also need a little YY Dafa, whether it is to stimulate yourself or comfort yourself, in the arduous long-distance running competition, athletes always need some spiritual sustenance to support their bodies and create motivation to run down, only to know that it is a donkey who runs stupidly.

When Duke ran to the 5th drinking point, he gave himself another full body cold bath, he looked back at the situation of the chasing soldiers behind him, yo, someone has caught up!

Du Ke saw a figure a few hundred meters behind him, this person was the chaser, the player who was temporarily in second place.

Du Ke was a little nervous, and quickly increased his cadence to speed up and run, foreign players are fierce, swimming and cycling were thrown so much by me and I can catch up.

Duke ran to the 7th drinking point, there were still 3 kilometers left, he looked back, I went, the guy behind him was more than 100 meters away!

Because he has increased the endurance and physique of the temporary track and field page to the international level, his physical fitness at this time can still support 3 kilometers. However, because other attributes are not high, the average speed of Duke's running is not up to the international level.

For Du Ke, the bad news is that the pursuers behind him are only more than 100 meters away from catching up with him, and there are 3 kilometers left, more than 100 meters is nothing, and the pursuers behind may complete the overtake at any time.

But there is also good news, the good news is that there is such a fierce chaser behind him, and the other players are not in sight.

So Duke should be able to keep the second position, if he finishes second, he can get 185 triathlon international points, 185 points is enough to ensure that he completes the triathlon cap task.

The only loss is that, in addition to the mission, the champion will be rewarded with 20 points, the runner-up will be rewarded with 10 points, and he will lose 10 bonus points if he gets the runner-up.

"I came all the way to the UK, of course, I can't lose!"

The strong desire to win drove Duke to be a little quicker to shake off his tail and secure the title.

Duke also gave up, and he took out the rhythm of the 3000-meter run to run the last 3 kilometers.

Although the distance between the 3000-meter run and the last 3 kilometers of the 10-kilometer run is the same, the running frequency rhythm is definitely different, and the metabolic ratio of anaerobic and aerobic is also different.

The anaerobic/aerobic metabolism ratio is generally 10% to 90% for a 10km run and 40% to 60% to 50% for a 3000m run. The anaerobic metabolism ratio of the 3000-meter run increases, which causes a greater burden on the body.

Duke doesn't care so much anymore, the last thing he likes is to be blown up. Chrysanthemum.

"Rush, rush, the last few hundred meters, victory is in sight!" Duke gritted his teeth and rushed, and the finish line was already looming. Look back, damn, this guy is really tenacious, and he's still chasing, it's more than fifty meters away.

As we get closer to the finish line, the crowd of onlookers grows, and the crowd is already cheering, waiting for the winner to be chosen.

With the remaining 200 meters, Douc didn't look back, he used the last strength he had left to sprint desperately, and the finish line was getting closer and closer.

50 meters!

20 meters!

5 meters!

Hit the line!

Duke was the first to hit the line and won the championship!

Because of the inertia, he ran forward for more than ten meters, then slowed down and walked slowly, just after running a long-distance run, he couldn't sit down and rest immediately, he had to walk slowly for a while, stand for a while, so that the body, cardiopulmonary system gradually returned to normal steadily.

At this time, the system swiped out a message: "Congratulations to the host for completing the task [I am an ironman, I play triathlon], the host won the championship of a triathlon international points race, and got 200 international points, so the first permanent burning page purchased by the host will be free." ”

The host can select the first burned page for free according to the rules of the burning page system. Starting from the second burn page, each ticket will be sold for 150 bonus points, and will not continue to be free, please be aware of the host. ”

In addition, the host won a triathlon international points race, earning 20 bonus points. The sum of the host's swimming page attributes is 651, international level; The sum of the attributes of the cycling temporary page is 325.5, which is national, and the sum of the attributes of the track and field temporary page is 254, which is professional level.

"Hey, I'm skipping a class!" According to the system's algorithm of dividing the sum of the three triathlons by 3, he participated in the international points competition of triathlon with a national triathlon attribute of 410, which was really a skipping competition, so he took 10 more bonus points.

Duke won the triathlon championship, which is equivalent to earning 180 bonus points at one time, and in the swimming specialty, he has to win four international swimming championships and break four swimming world records to get 180 bonus points.

180 reward points, big deal, it seems that this time I didn't come to the UK in vain.

Duke can return to China with peace of mind to implement the next step of his plan - to go to athletics. (To be continued.) )
