Soon, the time came to Dalongshan race day, Haining University team stood in the crowd, the participating vehicles were ready to go, the participating drivers were gearing up, the atmosphere was tense and exciting, and the audience was enthusiastic and cheering on the side.

Minutes and seconds passed, and the game began with a long and sharp whistle from the host's hand. The Haining University team occupies a good position close to the front of the group, which can not only reduce wind resistance, but also minimize the impact of group crashes and ensure safety in the early stage of the race.

The Dalongshan Race is 160 kilometers long, including two secondary slopes and one first-class slope in the climbing section, with a total length of 40 kilometers and a first-class slope of 20 kilometers, with an average slope of 7.2%. So this competition will be a battlefield for climbers.

Halfway through the race, when there were still 5 kilometers to go up the first slope, the team leader made a tactical arrangement: "All members of the team will give priority to ensuring the safety of Xu Zinan and Xie Lin, and strive to escort them through the summit climb point first." ”

Haining team in front of the group first into the first slope, in the middle of the first climb and the first group of the distance further widened, although the high mountain appeared strong crosswind, but Xie Lin and Xu Zinan with team efforts and personal strength, ahead of the pursuit group for two minutes, almost at the same time through the summit climb.

At this point, there are still 50 kilometers to the finish line.

This section of the downhill is 30 kilometers long, which means that whoever has the initiative on the downhill will win.

If there are no surprises, the Haining team will win, regardless of which of them crosses the finish line first.

The wind was howling in my ears, the redwoods on both sides of the road were rapidly receding, and two red and white figures, accompanied by the sound of loud flower drums echoing through the valley, shuttled through the winding downhill road.

Suddenly, Schelling, who was walking in front, lost his grip on the wheels due to the broken sand on the road, fell on the inside of an S-bend, and crashed into the mountain, but fortunately, the protective gear was neat and he did not suffer much damage.

Xu Zinan, who was behind, avoided this crash because of Xie Lin's early warning, and this was the implementation of the team's protection priority strategy.

"Senior brother, how are you, can you still run?" Xu Zinan looked at Xie Lin's face covered with dust, mixed with sweat, and blood flowed from the scars on his face because of the crash.

"I'm fine, you run first. Fast! Xie Lin waved his hand at Xu Zinan, signaling him to leave himself alone and hurry up and get in the car to continue the race.

"But senior brother, your injury ......"

"I said it's okay, you run, don't delay your mother-in-law anymore, you can't die!"

Xie Lin scolded loudly, hating iron in his heart, he didn't want this junior brother of his to be indecisive and lose the championship because of himself.

It had been three years since they had won the race from Da Long Mountain, and last year he finished fourth.

He didn't want to have any regrets, he had to win once.

Xu Zinan got back into the car and set off, with the hope of his senior brother and the team. The route he chose to descend the mountain was aggressive and within his control, and his speed gradually increased, and the time gap between him and the pursuing group behind him gradually widened.

If there are spectators on the side of the road at this time, they will definitely be scared into a cold sweat by Xu Zinan's speed and cornering route.

He needs this championship and the team needs this championship.

At this time, Schelling in the rear was caught up because of a crash, and now all the hopes of winning the championship are on him. There are also 20 kilometers of flat roads after the downhill.

"Sometimes, you can be bolder, and fighting hard may bring you a lot of gains." The teachings of the senior brother a few days ago are still in my ears.

"Maybe, I can go a little faster and believe in myself." Xu Zinan cheered himself up in his heart, and his speed of descent further accelerated, while at this time, the speed of the pursuit group in the rear slowed down, and the difference between Xu Zinan and them was about seven minutes.

Finally, the 30-kilometer descent was completed.

At this time, the leader's voice sounded, "Xu Zinan, now that the difference between you and the pursuit group has come to about eight minutes, your average speed must be maintained at about 43 in order to cross the finish line before the group catches up, can you do it?" ”

When Xu Zinan heard this speed, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Yes!"

Xu Zinan is now fighting alone, and in the rear is the pursuit group of more than a dozen people in many convoys taking turns to break the wind, and the speed is getting faster and faster, and the distance between the two is getting closer and closer.

The wind is so strong. Xu Zinan felt the whirring wind in his ears, blowing from the top of his head, from his shoulders, and from his legs, as if an invisible net was pulling him.

So tired, Xu Zinan felt the soreness of weakness in his legs again, and his hands were stiff because of the long-term pressure, so tired......

"Xu Zinan, hold on for one more minute." Xu Zinan suddenly woke up, and it seemed to be the voice of the team leader in his ears just now.

"Yes, persevere, fight again, maybe there will be a lot of gains." Xu Zinan suddenly shouted:

"I'll go to your uncle's!"

Xu Zinan's speed continued to rise, he came to the finish line 800m, followed by a group of people, like a pack of wolves, looking at Xu Zinan, the rabbit in front of him, all opened his claws and tried his best to pursue.

Xu Zinan silently thought in his heart: "Step, step, force, continue to trample, faster, faster, don't stop, stop and lose." ”

The scene in front of him was as if it had been torn apart, and the shouts of the audience around him were like the whistle of a train, whistling in and out.

200m before the finish line, he struggled to stand up, every inch of muscle in his body, squeezed out every trace of strength, transmitted to his legs, to the crank, to the wheels and the ground.

That line, he rushed over, followed by a large number of riders, but they were only in the background now......

At this moment, the whole world was silent, and he watched the audience on both sides waving their hands, their mouths opening and shouting, the breeze blowing, and the streamers flying, all silent, like mime. He paused and looked at his approaching teammates, his voice slowly getting louder and clearer.

"Xu Zinan, you won the championship, first place!" Gan Tingting rushed forward and hugged her junior brother excitedly, although at this time he was sweating like rain, soaking wet, and his face was red from congestion.

He looked through his sunglasses at the excited crowd in front of him, and he was at a loss for a moment.

"Zinan, congratulations." Xie Lin came to his side at some point, and the two of them met in helmets and shared this rare joy together.

"Thank you, brother!"

Xu Zinan finally relieved himself and hugged his team members one by one.

They had been waiting for this moment for a long time. They waited for it, and at this moment, they were champions.

They went back to school, the drums were singing louder than ever, the movements were done more chic than ever, and the eyes of the students were burning brighter than ever.

In the lounge of the base, at the celebration party, everyone raised their wine glasses and drank them all, as if they wanted to release all the grievances of being tortured by the team leader for a while.

The vitality of the young people was fully released at this moment, they sang and danced to their heart's content, and their enthusiasm and joy infected everyone present. Even Lao Zhao and the team leader were pushed by the team members and drank a whole bottle of wine.

No one can say no to such an atmosphere.

As the heroes of this time, Xu Zinan and Xie Lin were even more unconscious.

Xu Zinan felt that his choice to join the Automobile Association was right, and he felt that he had found the meaning of life at the moment, that is, to compete hard and win the championship. He forgot time, forgot the people he had thought about day and night, as if that memory had been sealed in a corner by him and would not be remembered again.

For Xu Zinan, the summer of the twenty-two-year-old is only once in a lifetime, and this summer has become unforgettable and more gorgeous because of winning the championship, and because in this summer, there is a reunion of strangers, and memories will also be turned over......
