This time, the Zhonghai Marathon was broadcast live.

At this time, the drone in the sky is broadcasting in real time, and the reporter on the ground is with long guns and short guns.

At intervals, there are monitoring ambulances from major hospitals, as well as shelter vehicles, which can immediately rescue and shelter runners if they are found to be unwell.

On both sides of the road, there were Zhonghai citizens, holding slogans or shouting loudly, cheering for the 20,000 runners and 18,000 fitness runners.

In addition, there are music stations along the track, with bands and cheerleaders at intervals, turning the track into a stave, and runners playing the city symphony like a note.

Looking down from the sky, the whole Linjiang area has become a sea of joy, with gongs and drums and red flags.

When the first 10 kilometers were passed, someone on the side of the road flashed an electronic timer, and the time was just 31 minutes and 57 seconds.

That is, the pace per kilometer is 3 minutes and 11 seconds.

"Come on, Lee!"

"Yang Shaohui is good~"

There were many citizens cheering on the side of the road.

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

There was an aunt in her fifties dressed in red who was beating a big drum.

"The cold wind blows, the war drums beat, who is afraid of whom?"

A crooked poem appeared in Jiang Sheng's mind, and a sense of battle rose in his heart, and he wanted to sprint all the way.

According to his current strong physical fitness, it is estimated that he can run the whole horse in an hour and a half, but he still resisted the urge.

Follow the first echelon and continue to run.

And his firm follow-up surprised everyone who traveled with him.

The people in the first echelon are basically top runners from various countries around the world, such as China, the United Kingdom, the United States, Portugal, Germany, Switzerland, Kenya, Ethiopia, etc.

These top runners from all over the world know each other, such as Li Bo and Yang Shaohui, who are both top runners in China and have won rankings in world track and field competitions.

Jiang Sheng has such a raw face, which is indeed quite eye-catching.

Someone looked at him, Jiang Sheng grinned at him and continued to run forward.

……

The pace of 3 minutes and 11 seconds/km is definitely the pace of the world's top runners, and the first 10 kilometers may be able to keep up, but as the distance lengthens, some people slowly fall out of the first echelon.

And the front row of the first echelon is basically black African players.

At the front of them are the "rabbits" hired by the Zhonghai Marathon Organizing Committee.

The scientific name of the "rabbit" is pacer, also known as the frontrunner, and the word comes from the hunting activity, where the rabbit is released by humans for hunting dogs to chase.

In professional long-distance running competitions, the responsibility of the pacemaker is to maintain a certain speed, lead the first echelon runners to complete the first half of the race, and let the elite runners save the physical strength and energy of calculating the speed, so that they can better hit the championship and even new records.

Among the world's six major marathons, the London, Chicago and Berlin marathons all have hired pacemakers to lead the elite runners to run together to increase the competitiveness of the race.

Don't do porcelain work without diamonds, and the players who dare to be "rabbits" in this level of events have two brushes, otherwise they won't get bonuses if the speed is not up to standard.

12 km.

15 km.

18 km ......

By the time it was 20 kilometers, the first echelon was already less than 50 people.

An electronic timer appeared on the side of the road, and the time passed 1 hour, 3 minutes and 29 seconds.

From the time, it can be seen that the speed of these top international runners has not only not slowed down, but is still slowly accelerating.

It's terrifying.

The leaders are basically black African players, some of whom are specifically responsible for breaking the wind, that is, being a rabbit, while the platinum label players of the championship contenders always follow behind the wind breaker and maintain their physical strength.

This is a typical tactic.

Jiang Sheng also watched some related news last night, and knew that these wind breakers also had an important task to do, interfering with other runners who might pose a threat to their champions.

……

And just as Jiang Sheng was running, in the tally area of a large supermarket in Changtai District, several middle-aged women were chatting while working.

After a short period of time, one of the chubby women said, "Hey, today there is a marathon in Zhonghai, and Ala's nephew has also gone to participate. ”

Another woman said, "That's good, I heard that the winning rate is very low." ”

"Hundreds of thousands of people across the country have signed up, and the winning rate is about one-tenth."

"The marathon is more than 40 kilometers, my mother, why are those people so in good spirits? I can't even run a kilometer! ”

The woman with the head of the bob turned her head to Chen Wenjing, who was busy in the corner, and said, "Hey, Wenjing, didn't Nong say that her husband also won the lottery before, and he went to participate today?" ”

"I should go, I haven't called him yet."

Chen Wenjing said with a smile.

The botou woman said: "Nong's husband is really idle~ If you want me to say, if you have this spirit, you might as well work hard to make money." The people who go to the competition are all rich and leisurely people. ”

The chubby woman said: "That's right, I read Douyin before, more than 75% of people who run have a bachelor's degree or above, and the annual salary of more than 100,000 yuan is as high as 70%. Most of them come from enterprises and institutions, financial industry, real estate industry, etc., and belong to typical high-educated and high-income groups. Like my nephew, he is in finance, 20,000 or 30,000 a month. ”

These women are all locals of Zhonghai, and they are all demolition households, and their families have several apartments, and they are not short of money.

Going to work is to find something to do, because there is no skill, are to do some sweeping floors, security and other idle work, although not to discriminate against outsiders, but always with the unique arrogant tone of the locals.

Chen Wenjing had long been used to it, so she just smiled and didn't say anything.

At this moment, on the TV in the home appliance area next door, Dragon TV was broadcasting the marathon, and the voices of two female commentators sounded at the same time.

"We see that now the first group has come to Binjiang Avenue. Located on the banks of the Huangpu River, this route is quite familiar to local runners. ”

"That's right, looking at the beautiful scenery by the river to run, the mood is still very enjoyable."

"The players from Kenya and Tanzania are still in the lead, and Li Bo, Yang Shaohui and Jia Renjia have always remained in the first echelon."

"Hey, how do I see an unfamiliar Asian face...... The camera gave him the number bib, E107596, it was not the invited contestant (the invited elite runner number bib has a name on it, and the fitness runner number bib only has a number without a name), and it was killed from the rear E area, which is really unexpected. ”

"The organizing committee just sent his identity information, his name is Jiang Sheng, and he is from Donghai City, Huaguosu Province......"

Chen Wenjing, who was in the tally area next door, heard the sound from the TV, and suddenly couldn't sit still, so he hurriedly ran to the home appliance area.

When he saw that it was really Jiang Sheng in the live TV, Chen Wenjing said excitedly: "Ah...... Look, my husband is on TV. ”

A group of women who were gossiping next to him also put down their work and walked over when they heard the words.

"Really?"

"Where?"

"Well, this."

"Alas, your husband is quite young~"

"Nong's husband is really a stick, he can actually outrun those Africans?"

Hearing the envious and surprised voices of these local colleagues who usually show off in front of her when they have nothing to do, Chen Wenjing has the feeling of eating a piece of chilled watermelon on dog days, and she feels comfortable from the inside out.

She bared her teeth and said happily, "It's okay." ”

The bob-headed woman made an inappropriate voice, "This man looks twenty-five or sixteen years old at most, not like Nong's husband?" And last time Nong said that her husband was a programmer and worked overtime 996 every day, he could run a marathon? ”

Hearing the words of the bob-headed woman, several other women had suspicious looks on their faces.

Chen Wenjing took out her mobile phone and was about to show her the family photo on the screensaver, but when the phone turned on, she found that Jiang Sheng in the family photo and Jiang Sheng on TV were completely two people.

Bobo stretched out his head to look at it, and immediately said: "Look at her husband and the people on TV, where is the ......?"
