Because you know, anyway, it can only go here.
So: If you know the ending in advance, will you come to Guzhang again?
After Guzhang's cross-country race, I asked myself again and again. I always have the same answer: yes.
Because experience is a process, not just a result.
Unforgettable
Because in Guzhang, I experienced everything I had never experienced before. Including retirement.
As the saying goes, you can learn from your mistakes. After the game, there is more joy. Give up the game and think more.
Looking back at Guzhang, you have to say Guzhang's face. I was deeply impressed by my first attempt to pick noodles.
After the press conference, the light rain began to stop. I arranged accommodation and decided to go out for a walk. Ask the boss if there are any recommended snacks.
The boss said cutely: no snacks. Oh, you mean eating, right? That's too much.
The boss mentioned the old street. I'll go to the old street
The old street is not wide and has a strong atmosphere of life. Although it is my first time to come to Guzhang, I seem to be very kind and familiar, and I have returned to my previous feeling in a trance.
In a street full of roadside trees, I found a shop with a very special name: tofu fresh. I want to come to Hunan and try the authentic and famous tofu in China. Also called glad you came.
Not a meal, not many people. My little sister is very careful. When she saw me go in, she asked me, Are you there? What to eat?
I said, what's your specialty? Recommend it.
The little sister said, everything is fine here.
Tofu has no tofu. After reading the menu, I'll try something I haven't eaten before: beef noodles.
Little sister: Do you eat spicy food?
I said carefully: don't eat. Haha, is there anything I don't know about Hunan's spicy food? )
Miss Xie: Braised beef is spicy, ok?
I said: Yes.
A bowl of noodles, on the surface, is a bowl of noodles without soup, and you don't know until you eat it. Seemingly calm on the surface, there is a great mystery in private.
This is spicy, so spicy that I flew into a rage:
Boss, another cup of boiled water ~
Smart you must know, I'm not talking about noodles, I'm talking about cross-country.
A cross-country manual says: before cross-country, eat lightly. Eat less food that you are not familiar with.
In Guzhang, I forgot. Actually, I didn't forget. Before going out, I drank a cup of black tea specially to prevent stomach upset.
However, I forgot that this is Hunan, and it is under siege.
Nothing happened that night.
The next morning, my stomach growled a few times without warning. Oh, no diarrhea at the critical moment.
When I left, I made a cup of black tea to drink on the way.
Just in case, I increased the weight and made two bags at once. Thick black tea smells good.
I took a bus from Cp2 to Cp5, and I went to see a doctor. This is also the first time I need to see a doctor after running.
I describe: shortness of breath, guilty conscience, weakness ~ am I suffering from heatstroke?
The doctor listened to his left chest with a stethoscope, and then listened to it on his right chest, saying, nothing. Not bad.
I drank a drop of ten that the doctor gave me, and the uncomfortable expression made them all laugh.
It was not until after six o'clock in the afternoon that the feeling of weakness eased slightly.
The next day, on the shuttle bus, I chatted with Hu Cheng, my running partner, and realized that the best way at that time was to drink the sugar water and salt water directly.
I didn't drink sugar water and salt water, so I didn't think of it.
Coming back from Guzhang is also a mystery. When drinking black tea, I suddenly thought: Will it be related to black tea?
Baidu, sure enough.
The so-called drunk tea refers to the symptoms of palpitation, trembling, weakness of limbs and blurred vision after drinking too much tea.
Simply put, drinking tea leads to hypoglycemia and electrolyte disorder. Tea drunkenness can be solved by eating sugar or drinking tea.
Patches, dialects, are worn marks. Yes, in Guzhang, I hung some plasters on my leg for the first time.
I like cross-country because I think cross-country is a lonely and beautiful thing.
In the first two cross-country races, I ran to the front from the beginning, and I was running alone most of the time. There is no one in front, and there are occasional people in the back. Everything is quiet, only the wind, birds and gasps.
This time, Gu Zhang is different. The plan is to start jogging, run on the road and run fast downhill.
After a bend, it seems to be going up the mountain to the top. There is more grass in front, and there is a flat land.
There are many people lined up on the edge of the flat ground. What happened?
I won't know until I run over. The front line began to decline. The road is narrow and there is water. Volunteers are guiding everyone to queue up in an orderly way.
Volunteers said: Don't worry, there are more than 200 people in front, so don't worry about the ranking. Safety comes first.
Hearing this, my heart was anxious. Hey, am I so backward?
After the rain, the grass was covered with water. There is a path hidden in the grass.
After a tentative run, I felt that the grass on the roadside was not very slippery, so I stepped up my steps and began to try to overtake.
When overtaking, the person in front gives way to the side. At first, I thought it was for me. Suddenly, I found a green vine stretching into the middle of the path not far away, and I secretly cried out:No..
There is no time to escape, and the ivy has grown to my thigh. Ha, it is indeed a wild thorn vine.
For a moment, I really felt the sharpness of the thorn and the pain in my leg. Looking down, I saw some red patches on my legs.
As the ancients said, it never rains but it pours. Now that the patch is dead, the next step must be wrestling.
Although the overtaking speed in front is not fast, it has gradually recovered a little feeling.
Slowly, the slope is steeper and steeper.
At a corner, I didn't slow down, but accelerated slightly to try to overtake the person in front. When I was about to go down to the finish line and then turn around, suddenly my foot slipped and my body took off, and the whole person flew forward lightly.
At the same time, I heard several exclamations: be careful ~
My voice did not fall, my hand was cold, my left knee and ankle ached, and the screams in my backpack fell to the ground with a splash.
Is everything all right?
Slowly, slowly ~
Taking care of the pain, I got up and continued. There is less grass and more stones on the path.
I never thought about recording in cross-country races, and I don't like recording in my daily life. This time, I recorded nearly 30 in Guzhang.
The main reason is that the battery of mobile phones and chargers is insufficient, and they dare not take more photos and videos.
Are there any other reasons? I can't answer it myself.
I haven't heard these recordings since I came back from Guzhang. To be honest, I have forgotten what I recorded.
I didn't open the first recording until I started to write "Travel all over the mountains and rivers, travel all over the ancient temples in western Hunan".
@ I'm 1: It's almost 12km, and it's not Cp 1… Now it's time to walk uphill for a while … more than 2km, right? My leg was torn. More than 3 kilometers, right? I fell ... hot and wet, sweating all the time.
As soon as I heard it, the wind, footsteps, cicadas, gasps ~ such rich sound effects suddenly penetrated my heart, and the whole person seemed to be in the Guzhang track again, and suddenly the emotion surged.
@ I 2: Finally Cp 1 ... (When recording, I took a long breath) My shorts were soaked and I went straight down. Haha, it's also an experience ... not running downhill ... The uphill and muddy roads at the beginning gave people a duel ... (Disease) Start ... (Disease) Start. ...
@ i3:CP 1 After that, there was a lot of thatch, and the cut leg was very painful …
My legs suddenly want to cramp and suddenly jump up and down like small lightning …
@ Me 4: Ah, I'm going to cramp again … I dare not move, find a place to rest … have a rest with some water … There are stones everywhere, so it's hard to walk …
At this time, a beautiful woman came over and asked the volunteers: Is there any dangerous place behind?
The volunteer said: Yes. Mainly wet roads. ...
@ I'm going uphill 5: 15km ... Someone overtook me and someone retired. ...
@ I 6: It's almost 16 km. It's very hot. How hot it is! Cicada is chirping. I can't stop screaming.
@ me 7: It's so hot. The water is almost finished. Ah ~ running slower than Alexander … I don't know why, the whole person can't get excited.
@ me 8: It's wet and hot, so uncomfortable ... Will someone cheer me up? ! The narrow path doesn't even have a place to rest.
Sitting in the front seat of the bus, my heart is as calm as water. Although the air conditioner in the car is cool, you can still feel the temperature of the scorching sun in the sunny part.
After crossing the tunnel, I got off.
As soon as the hotel owner saw me enter the door, he greeted me warmly: back? !
I laughed: it's over.
The boss said: hot. How much did you run?
I said: 50 kilometers reported …
50 kilometers? The boss was a little surprised. Why did you come back so early? !
You have your plan, and your life has other plans. After Gu Zhang's cross-country, I have a deeper understanding of this sentence.
Listening to Han Hong's Heart of Pilgrimage and revisiting the trip of Guzhang, it is hard to avoid feeling deeply.
If we predict our life in advance, do you still have the courage to have fun?
The next morning, while waiting for the boss to check out downstairs, a strong cross-country man came in with a backpack.
I said hello: Is the game over?
He looked back at me at the bar and said, yes.
50 or 100?
100. Just finished running.
I gave a thumbs up: awesome.
The boss went upstairs to arrange the room, and the cross-country man looked at me:
This is my first 100. Actually, I didn't think I could finish … I just ran over and saw the finish line in the distance. I couldn't help crying …
Don't forget your innovative spirit. No questions asked. It is impossible to challenge yourself. This is the greatest charm of cross-country
Go to Guzhang, and of course shoot Guzhang. It's just that time is short, and furong town and Fenghuang Ancient City failed to make it.
Back to the small hotel, I always comfort myself: never stop the game, never lose. It would be a pity not to attend.
Warm water makes people comfortable, and ice water makes people alert.
In the morning when I left Guzhang, the sun was shining and the sky was cloudless in Wan Li.
I sat on the bus, listening to the music "Letters" and browsing the news of Guzhang performers.
The chill is just right. I saw the green mountains and green waters in Xiangxi swept by the window and flashed by. Somehow, I remembered the name of a book by Jing M.Guo …
Goodbye, uncle, see you next year ~
@ me 30:
Ah … more than 24 kilometers (sniffling) … I really can't walk …
My heart is beating so hard that I can't walk …
There are too many vines here … I can't walk with a bamboo pole … Oh, I tripped again …
I just want to sit down and rest. I slipped on the stone three times in a row and almost fell into the ditch …
I can't concentrate more and more ...
Can you hold on? I feel a little sad … Well, let's talk about Cp2 …
It's uphill again … it's so steep …
