Chapter 53 My husband is on TV

This time, the China Overseas Marathon will be broadcast live.

At this time, drones in the sky are broadcasting in real time, and reporters on the ground are armed with guns and short guns.

There are monitoring ambulances from major hospitals at regular intervals, as well as reception vehicles. Once an athlete is found to be unwell, the runner can be rescued and accommodated immediately.

On both sides of the road were Zhonghai citizens, holding slogans or shouting loudly, cheering for the 20000 marathon runners and 18000 fitness runners.

In addition, music stations have been set up along the track. There are bands and cheerleaders with different styles at regular intervals, turning the track into a staff, and each runner plays the city symphony like a note. song.

Looking down from a high altitude, the entire Linjiang District has turned into a sea of ​​joy, with loud gongs and drums and red flags waving.

After the first 10 kilometers, someone on the roadside showed an electronic timer, and the time had just passed 31 minutes and 57 seconds.

In other words, the pace per kilometer is 3 minutes and 11 seconds.

"Come on Li Bo!"

"Well done to Yang Shaohui~"

There were many citizens on the roadside shouting for cheers.

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

There was an aunt in her fifties dressed in red playing the big drum.

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

A crooked poem appeared in Jiang Sheng's mind, and a fighting spirit arose in his heart. He wanted to sprint the whole distance.

Based on his current strong physical fitness, he would probably be able to complete the marathon in an hour and a half, but he still resisted the urge.

Continue running with the first echelon.

But his close following surprised everyone who was traveling 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. They are both top runners in China and have won rankings in world track and field competitions.

Jiang Sheng, with such a new face, is indeed quite eye-catching.

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

……

The pace of 3 minutes and 11 seconds/kilometer is definitely the pace of the world's top runners. You may be able to keep up with it in the first 10 kilometers, but as the distance increases, some people gradually fall out of the first echelon.

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

And at the front of them is the "Rabbit" who was hired heavily by the China Overseas Marathon Organizing Committee.

The scientific name of "rabbit" is pacer, also called pacer. This word comes from hunting activities. Rabbits are objects released by humans for hunting dogs to chase.

In professional long-distance running competitions, the pacer's duty is to maintain a certain speed and lead the first-tier runners to complete the first half of the race, allowing elite runners to save their physical strength and energy on calculating speed, so that they can better compete for championships and even new competitions. record.

Among the six major marathon events in the world, the London, Chicago and Berlin Marathons all spend heavily to hire pacers to lead elite runners to run together to increase the competitiveness of the competition.

Don't do porcelain work without diamonds. Players who dare to be "rabbits" in this level of competition must have two brushes. Otherwise, if the speed is not up to standard, they will not get the bonus.

12 kilometers.

15 kilometers.

18km…

By 20 kilometers, there were less than 50 people in the first echelon.

An electronic timer appeared on the roadside, and the time passed 1 hour, 03 minutes and 29 seconds.

It can be seen from the time that the speed of these top international runners has not slowed down, but is actually slowly accelerating.

Very scary. The leaders are basically black African players. Some of them are responsible for breaking the wind, that is, acting as rabbits, while the platinum-label players who are championship contenders always follow the windbreaker to maintain their physical strength.

This is a typical tactic.

Jiang Sheng also watched some related news last night and knew that these windbreakers also had an important task to interfere with other runners who might pose a threat to their champion runners.

……

While Jiang Sheng was running, several middle-aged women were working and chatting in the tally area of ​​a large supermarket in Changtai District.

After some chat with the Li family, one of the fat women said: "Hey, there is a marathon held in Zhonghai today, and my nephew is also going to participate."

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

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

"The marathon is more than 40 kilometers long. Oh my god, why are those people so energetic? I can't run even one kilometer!"

The bob-haired woman who was talking turned to Chen Wenjing who was busy in the corner and said, "Hey, Wenjing, didn't I say before that my husband also won the lottery? Did he go to participate today?"

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

Chen Wenjing smiled.

The bob-haired woman said: "My husband is really busy. If you have such a high spirit, you might as well work hard and make money. Those who go to participate in the competition are all rich and free people."

The fat woman said: "That's true. I read on Douyin before that more than 75% of runners have a bachelor's degree or above, and 10% have an annual salary of more than 70. Most of them come from enterprises and institutions, The financial industry, real estate industry, etc., belong to the typical high-educated and high-income groups. Like my nephew, he works in finance and earns to yuan a month."

These women are all locals from Zhonghai, and they are all demolished households. They have several apartments at home and are not short of money.

When I go to work, I just find something to do. Since I don’t have any skills, I just do some leisure work such as sweeping the floor and security. Although I can’t say that I am discriminating against outsiders, I always speak with the unique arrogant tone of the locals.

Chen Wenjing had long been used to it, so she just smiled and said nothing.

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

"We see that the first group has now arrived at Binjiang Avenue. This is located on the bank of the Huangpu River. This route is quite familiar to local running enthusiasts."

"Yes, it's very enjoyable to run while looking at the beautiful scenery along the river."

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

"Hey, why did I see a strange Asian face... His bib number, E107596, was shown to the camera, and it was not an invited runner (the bib numbers of invited elite runners have names on them, while the bib numbers of fitness runners only have numbers but no names) ), and they came from Area E at the very back, which is really unexpected.”

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

Chen Wenjing, who was in the tallying area next door, heard the sound coming from the TV. She couldn't sit still and hurriedly ran to the home appliance area.

When she saw it was Jiang Sheng in the live TV broadcast, Chen Wenjing said excitedly: "Ah... look, my husband is on TV."

A group of women nearby who were chatting away put down their work and walked over after hearing this.

"Is it true or not?"

"where?"

"Well, this one."

"Oh, your husband is quite young~"

"My husband is so stubborn, how can he outrun those Africans?"

Hearing the envious and surprised sounds from these local colleagues who usually showed off everything in front of her, Chen Wenjing felt as if she had eaten a piece of iced watermelon in the dog days of summer, feeling refreshed from the inside out.

She bared her teeth and said happily: "It's not bad."

The woman with the bob hair made an inappropriate sound, "This man looks to be in his mid-twenties at most, doesn't he look like my husband? And last time I said that my husband is a programmer and works overtime 996/ a day. Can he run a marathon?" "

After hearing the words of the bob-haired woman, several other women showed suspicious looks on their faces.

Chen Wenjing took out her phone and was about to show her the family photo on the screen saver, but when the phone turned on, she realized that Jiang Sheng in the family photo was completely different from the Jiang Sheng on the TV.

Bobo raised his head to take a look and immediately said: "Look at how her husband looks like the person on TV..."
