A Circle of Friends
Almost everyone has a pretentious heart, and I've never doubted that I'd become a maverick, either, and as a girl who grew up loving history and sports, I was born with a bit of a chivalrous streak. As a girl who grew up loving history and sports, I was born with a bit of chivalry, a sense of adventure, and the courage to challenge. Like a dream that is a little lost, a chance to see the classmates sent the sand seven circle of friends pictures, the first time I witnessed such a "high-level" event, to see in the vast expanse of yellow sand running in the posture of the first feeling is cool! I thought if I could go there once and take some shocking pictures, I would be admired and envied by many people. Truth be told, it was this desire to show off that drove me on my journey to Asha. Sometimes, the right amount of showmanship can lead to a lot of things.
In addition to being cool, what attracts me to Asha is also the long-term card-carrying hard training, which does not mean that the weight loss of meat hanging life? Read an MBA, in addition to harvest knowledge; harvest contacts; more should harvest a thorough change, such as self-discipline, such as figure. Recently was a "your image is your class" micro-link brainwashing, stupidly think that their own life level is low because of cowardice and lack of self-control, burn my calories this thing can not do, but also talk about what self-discipline?
With exercise, you can be set in your ways, or you can change immediately. Love to exercise people, first in the physical ability to beat you some, and then in the work of energy to beat you some, and ultimately in the whole life will beat you a big cut. It is said that the so-called figure is the sum of all your life habits, and the difference in figure between people hides a person's restraint, persistence and self-discipline. Join Asha, you deserve it.
? Holding the two small goals of coolness and weight loss, after the introduction of my classmate Xiaomaguo I joined a WeChat group called "major MBA sand eight reserve team", and since then began a weekly punching card cruel training. The group gathered a group of sports enthusiasts who really love running, and a very few runners like me who just want to create their own sports persona, and the passion they swore by was more than the passion they insisted on punching the clock. The group of gods is simply, let me for the first time to feel the running of the sport of the country's attraction, no wonder now everywhere on the road can be seen running people.
At that time, if someone asked me why I joined Shabachi, my answer would be to take pictures, to send circles, and to lose weight.
The first test of training
? The initial training came so jittery. If training is brutal, then the initial training is the most brutal! Every Sunday from 5 to 8 p.m., the training time is always so perfect that I just miss the dinner, and only rely on the team to bring their own bananas, dried beans and other supplies to end a good weekend.
? Have to be amazed at the team's organizational strength and infectious force, the total **** 200 yuan per person (of course, I may not have been able to adhere to the subsequent charges to participate in the training) can support each time a big bag of food, a whole box of mineral water, but also to invite the seven wild so professional coach dedicated to the teaching. I would like to thank the organizers of the past year again for their dedication, without you there is no major Yasha's legacy, the process of exuding charisma so that I will certainly remember for life.
Back to training, the three-hour training is often delayed. A come on 45 minutes free jogging, the same time some people can run seven or eight kilometers or even ten kilometers, some can only barely five kilometers. Gene this thing is really magical judge, no matter how hard the acquired training, the beginning of the fastest run a year later is still at the top, running scum such as I metamorphosis is still running scum ...... beyond just the self, there is no one else.
? Rest three minutes after running is anaerobic exercise, right! Only three minutes of rest, high leg, lunge walk, kicking run, crab walk then take turns, tortured us do not have to wait until the next day will be a burst of soreness. Finally, there was an hour of stretching with each other, pairing up and relaxing each other's muscles to stop the calves from getting thicker and to increase CP bonding. It was just after 8:00 when the three-hour training session ended, and the roads on campus were clear, so it was almost 10:00 when we drove home after practicing. Come on, left hand and right hand a slow motion, four o'clock out ten o'clock home, this bitter rhythm to step well.
3 Loyalty to the body
When you like something, you start with the face, stay loyal to the body, and finally become obsessed with the inner part of it. That's a good way to describe running. I started running because of the sport's cool body sculpting effect, and then formed the habit of punching the clock regularly, and then I didn't feel right if I didn't run for three days, so running is really an addictive sport for the body and mind. The body can't lie to itself, long-term runners will be inspired by the body and mind, in addition to the weekly collective training, usually free time teammates will also run on their own time clock.
? The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new pair of shoes and boots. Teammates chose to record and share their running routes and average speeds using the Joy Running Circle. Detailed data analysis helps to tailor the training program. Most of the teammates have an average pace of about five minutes per kilometer, but of course, there are always gods who can get in three or four minutes.
Be faithful to the flesh and your body will be faithful to you. After being obsessed with running, you will find that your body is getting better and better, not only is your body more proportional, but your spirit is also getting better. Even habits change, the original weekend sleep lazy can get up at six o'clock to run in the morning, before the big fish and meat initiative to increase carbohydrates and protein.
Four burn, fat
? Thanks to the continuous weight loss after exercise, but also thanks to the exercise process of self venting and enhancement, from the beginning of running to crazy love I spent almost two months. If exercise can change a person, then I am the one who has been completely transformed.
Usually when I come home from work, I always feel physically and mentally exhausted, and I'd rather stay on the couch as a potato week in and week out than get up and walk around a little bit. After joining the Shabbat team, the sense of responsibility forced me to say goodbye to the warm and soft couch, change into a military outfit and go downstairs for a run. The group's teammates are often dozens of kilometers of card screenshots come and go, as the C-team running scum can not be closed by the Asha and affect the results of the whole team, right.
Asha will bring unexpected surprises, such as friends, such as body type, and unprecedented self-discipline. As is the case with any activity, there are more participants in the beginning than down the line. The first training students are particularly large, with the weather turned hot, enthusiasm waned, and then the number of participants basically plummeted to only half of the remaining. The big wave of sand, leaving behind are all gold.
Interviews with a few of the teammates who insisted on training for a more pronounced slimming effect. The same classmate Yin discussion listening to the past year participated in a number of half-marathon, weight loss of 7 pounds; impressed by the Ajian classmates every pulling training wildly dumped me two or three laps, a year more than 10 pounds, from a waist and belly fat little fat girl successfully reversed into a well-proportioned sports goddess; the whole team shaping the effect of the most obvious to be counted in the Dragon, weight loss of dozens of pounds, known as the model of the fat house into a muscular man. And I, because the amount of running did not keep up, they invited a private tutor, fitness running two hands, naihe both hands are not hard, the effect is obvious at the beginning, after all, still can not escape a drum, and then fail three and exhaustion of the fate of a *** only three pounds of weight loss ......
Chapter sand eight, we are here!
A finalized team members
Turning the corner of a year of preparation is almost at the end of the eighth Asia-Pacific Business School Desert Challenge, as promised, scheduled for three days in April 28, 29, 30. This year's May Day vacation change is particularly big, the end of the Asha just May Day holiday, want to participate in the contestants must take time off. This also immediately signed up for Yasha seems to be true love undoubtedly. The number of people who have been trained in the previous period is much higher, and only those who have finally signed up for the competition are the real Sha Baji - our desert warriors.
The final 12 A team members were selected, matched with 12 B team members, and 5 C team members plus a reporter accompanying Yuming. The A team elite is responsible for the results, the B team is responsible for the completion of the race, and the C team, the spontaneous walk, sell hard to move it.
I really admire the courage to sign up for the A-team, carrying too much team honor and pressure, usually cross-country results again on behalf of the strength of the desert, how strong the desire to conquer so that a group of people who have never experienced the desert running dare to stand up and take up the whole team's results of the ASA. 12 members of the A-team, they are the most adorable people. 12 members of the B-team configuration more than ASA tournament standard, the Wi-Team. The B-team is under tremendous pressure to get more people who want to challenge themselves to join the B-team. They have persevered hard and surpassed in the past year's training. On the battlefield, knowing that they have to finish the race in order to achieve the team's goal, they still did not retreat and resolutely signed up to test the results of their training. I'm not sure how much I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm going to be able to do it, and I'm going to be able to do it, and I'm going to be able to do it, and I'm going to be able to do it, and I'm going to be able to do it, and I'm going to be able to do it, and I'm going to be able to do it,cheap jordans for sale.
The real warriors are the ones who dare to face up to the excellent life of road running, and also dare to face up to the other side of themselves. During the departure ceremony, I saw for the first time what my teammates looked like in their usual sportswear. We have been training together for so long, but I didn't realize that there were so many business elites and handsome women among us. Suited and booted athletes that temperament is not covered, upright posture coupled with cool moves enough to make the bystanders envious, rare is that there is not a fat person in the team! Uniform temptation + athletes figure = invincible! I've always said that the biggest attraction of running is the slimming and shaping of the body, which I firmly believe.
II Take off, all the way to Yinchuan!
A lot of people say that this is the first time in their lives that they have been to Ningxia, and after dreaming for a long time and spending a lot of sleepless nights, there is going to be a day when they can find their dreams. The 30 major Asha participants were divided into three batches to fly to Yinchuan, the airport all kinds of posing photos attracted a lot of passers-by to watch, right! The first thing that we want is this kind of attention.
Before the gathering a lot, the first time and the official Yasha comrades eat together Yinchuan is the first time. Knowing that into the desert there is no such good food and meat, eat a full stomach in order to save strength, you must eat a big meal to cohesion morale. Our sass completely suppressed the sass of mutton, big mouth eating mutton big cup drinking milk tea. During the conversation I realized that we all really love and are obsessed with running, and this group of people made me experience a kind of focus that I have never seen before. All the "no time" and "busy" are just excuses, but in the end, I can't escape the word "lazy". Thinking back to this year I three days fishing two days sunshine net rhythm, the gap between man and man is so naked at the table, I only have no ground to self-consciousness head down to eat food, the live version of the rendition of no strength, there is no right to speak. Although you can not pursue any aspect of not lagging behind, but in a certain aspect of the distance from the people thousands of miles away, this person must be where there is a problem. And my problem is exactly lazy.
Three Challenge Tengri
Looking forward to, looking forward to, the day of the game is close, closer to ...... every beautiful love have a thousand times different opening imagined, see Tengri the moment as if to see the dream of the dream lover. Although not as imagined so overly flashy majestic, but rather more a few real sense, this is our preparation for a year is about to challenge the desert.
The race was divided into three days, totaling 70&33 kilometers. Tengger's sand is soft and dry, step on it and land feel very different. It's not like the road running in the training is so flat and hard, and it's not like the cross-country when it's all uphill and mountainous.
As Fai's famous saying goes, "If you measure the earth with your feet, how can there be no sand dunes? Running the desert once should be the dream of all runners. Fai did it and did it brilliantly. As the well-deserved first place of the whole team every day, Fai paid great attention to stretching after running. Always using his experience of running 10,000 kilometers to guide us on how to relax after the run, helping the team to massage their legs, waist and abdominal muscles.
I was one of the first to check into the Yinchuan hotel, and I didn't even see my sleeping buddy at either of the two big meals before the race. 26th night, because of the weather, the plane that the second batch of teammates took circled around for almost an hour before landing successfully. After the team waited anxiously, at 11:00 p.m. we welcomed my curious roommate, a soft-looking petite woman with a particularly gentle and nice voice. I realized she was an A-team member the next day when she said she wanted to go into the desert early to get a feel for the course. What's an A-team? It's the kind of team that runs more than twice the distance of me, runs fast, and needs to run as hard as they can to make the grade! Surprisingly, Bu Fengzhen was not only an A team member but also the fastest A team member, and I, who was not only the weakest woman but also the weakest member of the whole team, was put in the same room, making the fastest and slowest team with the biggest difference in strength. The long half of the track, she did not take long to get to the finish line, the first day of the race Feng Zhen shoes women's first return to camp. This is the strength of the major women, minus one hour after the results of the living face a lot of bullish men.
The team's performance has never been one or two people can hold up, every day clamoring to pick up the little brother of Liu Yin, warm and gentle as jade, the school bully Chuan brother is my team's seed players. Ajian, as the most impressive woman in the team, stretched the team's total score unreservedly. Li is not born strong, Li is just born strong! Li Yijian, as her name suggests, has a determined character that compels her to run as hard as she can every day, even if she falls down, she can't let her stop for a second. The picture of her falling down and getting up again has made her a household name in the Asa circle. After the encounter let me know that Ajian is a woman born in 83 years, (about this until today I still suspect that she is lying to me) looks simply a young man in his early twenties, running in addition to let her wildly lose more than 20 pounds also make her childish face forever.
If there was ever a person who made me feel like I was coming from the same starting line, that person would have to be the one to discuss it. The same from the 16th grade class, she and I almost at the same time to join the team of sand eight, the difference is that she insisted on unremitting and I halfway to give up. When we first started training, we ran slower than the others and were often left behind by one or two laps. But by the time we entered the race, the two of us, who used to run side by side, were not on the same level, and with a number of full marathons under our belts, Kee Lai was brave enough to join the B-team. Although a lot of physical discomfort before the race, but the strength can often overcome the momentary state of not in the state, say what play is not good that is not enough, three consecutive days of successful completion of the race is enough to prove that this year, her nirvana rebirth, technology bar bar!
In the end, our major MBA Weiye Aluminum team of 30 people all finished the race, no violation, with a total score of 12 good results success for three consecutive years to win the Shaou Award! Our goal for Sha Jiu is to go all the way and get into the top ten.
Four, eat, drink and sleep
The three-day, 70-kilometer race basically did not have a decent lunch, breakfast is also extremely poor, the only thing I look forward to is a hot dinner in the desert. The Asia-Pacific Business School Desert Challenge has accumulated a lot of experience in organizing the race since 2012, with simple toilets, roadside snacks and CP breaks. I still miss the fragrant mutton soup and noodles in the desert, and I want to eat something hot after a day of eating bread and dried beans. The lamb soup and beef soup boiled in advance to soak instant noodles is both simple and fast. More than two thousand people live in the night is self-built tents, the desert night comes surprisingly cold, drink a bowl of mutton soup can also play a role in keeping warm.
I may not be able to feel all the fatigue of the competition, but I fully understand the pain of the desert. Many people ask me how to go to the bathroom in the desert. This question is no longer a problem. There is always a long line at the campsite toilets and the stench is so bad that we basically walk to no one's place to solve the problem, and in the desert, it is legal to urinate and defecate anywhere. Going to the toilet at night is even more convenient, in the dark, you don't have to walk far to squat down and solve the problem. Thanks to God, all the girls in my team managed to avoid their menstrual cycle during those days. Looking at the other colleges and universities in the camp's simple toilets with blood stains on their stomachs, I really can't say anything. The game's suffering, the desert's suffering is not enough, favor to add a little bit of women's suffering before counting.
The problem of food, lodging and toilets have been overcome, and the strong ultraviolet rays of Tengri are only forcibly endured. In addition to wrapping tightly all kinds of equipment, the girls also extra thickly coated with sunscreen, every night face can not wash, but must be applied to the mask. Even so it is hard to avoid tanning, I see a few bottles of the sea blue mystery can not save this old face. Women, wherever you go is the love of beauty, the movement of women is no exception.
Chapter 3?
One of the Asha for me
Asha return, a perfect transformation. The desert trip can be said to be the first time I ran such a long distance, no cross-country, no marathon, I did not expect to test the waters for the first time was dedicated to the Tengri, came very fierce. I have never realized that I can really complete dozens of kilometers of desert hiking, and I haven't even completed a road race of more than 7 kilometers before Shabachi. The first time I ran more than 10 kilometers in my life was in the desert. Walking in the desert, the bad weather made my eyes blur with tears and my nose runny, I gritted my teeth and tried my best to reach the finish line as early as possible. Countless times the shelter bus drove past me, many times I saw men and women sitting and resting at the CP point, in order to make up for the lack of physical strength, the stupid bird first, I dragged my body with a serious cold to the end of the line almost without stopping a step. The Shabal Road was an extreme challenge for me personally, and almost every day my eyes were still itching with tears within three hours after the race. I applaud myself and marvel at my own tenacious willpower to make the impossible possible.
The youth does not ask for something, the struggle to become a young man, I would like to pay tribute to my unrepentant youth with this Tengri trip!
Two? Talk about the warm man it
If there is something that a person can make me remember forever, it should not be the face value, nor the degree of its richness, but the person's excellent character. How a person is may not be apparent in a short period of time, yet there are many intelligent people, some of whom are not easy to feign on the inside. Teams are the best test of character, what kind of person you are, in other people's hearts you are a what look like. The ugly duckling is not a white swan, it is originally a swan.
The warm man is the warm man, no compromise. The first warm man on the team to impress me was our captain Yin Fangwei. What kind of love makes a person prefer to suspend his child-bearing program to come to ASA for two consecutive years? Familiar and unfamiliar, warm and welcoming to anyone, a God's eye without the slightest hint of avoidance. You could see kindness and sincerity in his eyes. I still remember the first time he ran the playground after being overtaken by a lap, Wei team smiled back to every lagging female teammates shouted a "cheer", simple and warm. Maybe I hadn't yet adapted to this kind of united atmosphere, but I was so exhausted that I felt especially touched, after all, Wei Wei's smile is very attractive. The team and a few other preparers of the team together, busy before and after the team to pull sponsors, carefully planning the competition strategy, careful arrangements for dinner, travel, accommodation details, quietly for the sand eight pay, regardless of the return.
Zhang Yi, a teammate of the C-team, is another person I admire for his dedication to serving everyone after the Wei team. Before the game, he worked late into the night to count the flight information of each shift departure, and arranged for the personnel of the shared room. Every day, he was the first one to return to the campground, leading us to set up tents, collect fruits and pick up people at the finish line. There is a group of lovely people, they do not count the cost of serving the team, regardless of personal gain or loss, from the heart of the team as the first important thing, this is them!
And Huali, the legendary good-tempered kind of people.
And then there's Wally, the legendary good-natured kind of person. No matter how many times you've been absent from training, and how rusty your teammates are, as long as you have a question to ask her, she'll be very attentive to listen and patiently answer it, and stare at you with her eyes never wandering off.
My roommate, Feng Zhen, is also a person who is especially considerate of others. The small size, softly speaking a mouthful of Mandarin, a look is a serious will take care of people's image of the woman. She brought a big bag full of snacks and toiletries, and always asked me if I wanted to do this and eat that. A moment to lend the male members of the aloe vera gel, a moment to help teammates get wet tissues, a moment to help me pull off the paper tape on the shoe covers (by snacks fertilized me in the end is not a retarded, and often even the mineral water bottle can not open)......
The rest of the AB team emerged in the warm man, such as Ying primrose, Chuan, Jie and so on have won girls unanimously favorable comments. Especially when the tour bus stops at the hotel, see Li Jie students stood to the bottom of the bus luggage bin to camelbak one by one to send out, each baggage to check once the name, afraid to get rid of anyone.
Everyone is very tired, but some people are still helping us move luggage ......
Three The rest of your life, I urge you to be kind
The entire Asha event lasted three days, with more than 2,700 participants. Our meals, toilets, supplies and accommodation were well organized. This is a credit to the careful planning of the organizing committee, but also inseparable from the hard work of many Alashan locals.
First of all, we ate soup noodles. In the desert, a few large iron buckets filled with mutton, beef, chicken three kinds of soup, aunts and uncles took turns to scoop up our bowl full of hot soup just out of the pot. I thought that the desert would be extremely frugal and withhold food, but the aunts were still generous enough to serve us a big bowl full of soup. The simple laborers don't know how to count, and will give you more when they see you are hungry.
Next is the garbage we threw away. Although the desert has a certain self-cleaning ability, the garbage can be decomposed after burial, and the discarded fruit peel may also be eaten by camels, but there are still a lot of plastic garbage that needs to be picked up manually. Every day on the campground you can see a lot of locals with big bags to collect our waste, so remote desert, they have to drag these stinking garbage back to the county to deal with. If everyone threw away one less plastic bag and poured one less bowl of oil soup, then there would be no campground trash cans overflowing with that kind of phenomenon.
Finally, there is our desert toilet. The first thing you need to do is to dig a big pit in the sand, put two planks of wood, and then put a layer of black cover cloth is the camp's simple toilet. The original intention was that the feces could be buried in the sand and disposed of, but after mixing with the discarded toilet paper? There are also disgusting portable toilets, which are still disgusting to enter, but have you ever thought about the people who clean them up?
Do a think of others Yasha people, less throw a garbage, more for the staff to think. In order to realize the desert hiking dream of more than two thousand people, many older than us uncle and aunt into the logistics service work, Asha three days for us is a game of desire, for them is a hard labor.
? The rest of our lives we may not see each other again, but I remember your smiling faces of hard labor.
IV Conclusion
? The dream wakes up, and the story of the Yasha people will continue. "The most precious thing a man can have is life . Life comes to man only once . Therefore, one's life should be spent in such a way that when one looks back, one does not regret for wasting one's time, nor does one feel ashamed for doing nothing. ...... "Meaningful things besides fighting for the liberation of mankind can also be to have taken part in a transcendental desert crossing so that, by the time we die, we can also say that we have no regrets for our youth. We can say that we have no regrets about our youth. How are warriors made? It is necessary to grab the time to run up, because even a violent illness or accident may terminate life. Youth regardless of the direction of progress, the struggle to naturally achieve the golden years ......
No matter who you are, as long as you have participated in a Yasha to become a comrade in arms who has struggled together, then I will, for the sake of your perseverance, by the sake of your striving heart and in the name of all the Yasha people implore you not to give up on the running career that you have already succeeded in. Cherish the destiny of running friends in this life. The first time, the sand friends life.
