Run Out of My Life

Su Zu ran a few laps along a small road along the river outside the hotel. It may be because the total population of Linz is relatively small. Occasionally, tourists can be seen hurriedly passing by in trench coats.

The twilight gradually subsided, and the street lamps on both sides of the road exuded a faint glow, which was not bright, but with the distant lights and other scenery, it was somewhat exotic.

Su Zu walked around the cement and gravel paths around the hotel for more than ten minutes. He felt his body gradually warmed up, and his mental state gradually adjusted from the sluggishness brought by the long journey. After coming over, I found a clean site on a remote river bank, and did some quick high leg raises, diagonal supports, push-ups and other exercises on the spot.

It wasn't until the negative state attribute in the system that marked the body's [burnout] gradually disappeared, he stopped and prepared to go back to the hotel.

Although Yu Liwei agreed with him to come out, the athletes who go abroad are all part of the collective, and it is not good to leave the team for a long time. To achieve the goal, there is no need to delay.

, a black shadow jumped out.

"Why is there someone suddenly?!" Su Zu was taken aback. Fortunately, after training for a long time, his body responded quickly, and he jumped sideways.

At the same time, the black shadow that suddenly appeared also screamed, and a screeching friction sounded, and also moved to the side, but it might be too fast to stop. He came down and slammed into the guardrail next to him. There was a sound of something falling to the ground.

At this time, Su Zu saw through the street light next to him that it was a white girl riding a bicycle with one foot on the ground, looking in shock. The basket in front of the bike, with oranges and books on it, hit the hurdle and fell off.

Su Zu blinked with a confused look on his face. He couldn't understand the other party's meaning at all, but the last two syllables were a bit like OK. He probably guessed that the other party might be asking if he was injured.

The white girl stared at the blue eyes, looked at Su Zu's appearance seriously, pursed her lips and smiled, and seemed to guess that Su Zu might not understand, and turned to English asked over and over.

Although Austria is a traditional German-speaking country, the popularity of English is quite high, and basically many people can speak English.

"I'm fine, thank you, how about you? Sorry, didn't notice you just now."

Su Zu's answer in the first half of the sentence is very skilled, after all, it is a classic answer in the first lesson of learning English. The latter half of the sentence was a bit stumbling, but in the end, when I recalled the words one by one, I could still express them clearly.

Then the girl murmured a few words in English. This time, because of the speed of speech and accent, Su Zu didn't quite understand. His fourth-level moisture was too high, and he threw it away for many years. He simply picked up the books and oranges scattered by the **** the ground and returned them to her.

The girl probably knew that there was a communication barrier between the two, said thank you, smiled and beckoned, riding a bicycle and quickly disappeared into the night.

Back to the hotel, and sure enough, he saw the accompanying translator surnamed Wang in the lobby. He seemed a little relieved to see Su Zu appearing. After all, foreign affairs staff treat these things as work tasks to complete.

He sent Su Zu back to the room, and repeatedly told him not to go out at will, and emphasized the organizational discipline. Su Zu nodded and agreed one by one.

Silent night.

In the early morning of the next day, three coaches, Yu Liwei, Lu Jianming and Yuan Guohua, led by several translators, went directly to the public hall of the Lissfeld Community Gymnasium for adaptive recovery training.

The indoor competition in Linz is not the focus of this competition. It is mainly to cope with the Vienna International Indoor Competition in a few days. This indoor competition in Linz is a transition and recovery training.

There are many people training in the public hall, and there are athletes of all skin colors who come to participate in the competition. Su Zu watched for a while, but did not see any familiar faces. He was not familiar with the well-known sprinters at this time, and after hearing that Yu Liwei's indoor competition in Linz was relatively low, many famous athletes did not come.

In the international indoor competition in Vienna three days later, many famous players will appear, and they will also be training for the following World Indoor Championships.

On the third day, March 7th, the indoor competition in Linz began.

The men's 60m event has only 60 or 70 contestants from all over the world. There are two races a day. The preliminaries are followed by the top eight finals, which are similar to the domestic indoor races.

The difference is that the preliminaries are held in the morning and the finals are held in the afternoon.

In the men's 60-meter indoor competition, Su Zu ran 6.61 seconds and entered the final with the second place in the preliminaries. Chen Jian may have just arrived in Linz, and his condition is not good. After running 6.79 seconds, I missed the final in the afternoon.

This is also a major benefit brought by Su Zu's sensory system, which can understand some abnormal states of the body in advance and adjust in time. From the point of view of the coaching staff, Su Zu's performance is particularly stable, and there are basically few ups and downs in his state.

Wang Yuanbin actually discovered this feature as early as in Hedao City. No matter what competition it is, Su Zu's basic performance is steadily increasing, and there is rarely a phenomenon of abnormal performance decline. This is especially rare for athletes. After all, maintaining a competitive state for a long time is not an easy task.

In several other indoor competitions, Yang Guangzong entered the finals of the men's 200m indoor competition with a seventh place in the preliminaries, and Liu Yangyu entered the finals with a fourth place in the preliminaries.

In the afternoon, Lissfeld Stadium Arena.

The number of players who came to watch the Linz indoor competition was significantly more than the preliminaries in the morning. Austria's organized sports population, with nearly 50% participation in various sports club activities, is well above the European average.

In addition, the popularity of track and field events in Europe is far greater than that in China. Commercial sports competitions have attracted the attention of many people, such as the annual IAAF Golden League. one of the competitions.

Su Zu clearly felt that the gap between the international players and domestic players in the men's short track track and field event was not the top players who came to the Linz indoor competition this time. The 60-meter project still gave him a lot of pressure. The first result in the preliminaries was 6.59 seconds, which has already reached the threshold of 6.60 seconds.

15 pm local time. The indoor men's 60m final begins.

"This is my first international competition."

Before the starting line, Su Zu looked at the six white players from Linz, who were almost all black players from various countries.

Originally he thought that his first international competition would be the Asian Championships, Asian Games and other competitions, but he did not expect to run to Linz, Austria, thousands of miles away.

The main purpose of organizing the competition in Austria this time is to train soldiers. The indoor competition in Linz is a warm-up before training. The coaching staff of the entire track and field team are not very important.

2003 is a year of competition, the Indoor World Athletics Championships, the Asian Games, the World Athletics Championships, the City Games, etc., in the planning of the Athletics Center and the coaching staff, this whole year actually They are all training troops, in order to prepare for next year's Olympic Games. With the help of these various events of various sizes, athletes can accumulate more experience in competitions, and it is hoped that there will be more athletes who meet the Olympic AB standard.

"SET!" The starter's ready voice sounded.

Su Zu emptied his mind of distracting thoughts, bowed his body, and waited for the gunfire to sound at any time.

"Pop!" The match gun sounded.

As soon as he started Su Zu, he felt the pressure. He felt that the starting speed was not slow this time, and Chen Jian was the only one who could hold him firmly in the current domestic acceleration stage. But this trip out, obviously several figures have this kind of strength.

Accelerate, rush!

Su Zu gritted his teeth, swinging his arms at the fastest speed, increasing his speed.

Because the 60-meter sprint has not entered the Olympic Games and some large-scale comprehensive sports games, the attention is actually quite low, mainly indoor competitions, and most of the participants are also 100-meter runners. Of course, there are also athletes who specialize in 60-meter individual events, but the total number is relatively small.

The distance is different, and the running method is also different.

For example, Su Zu himself, his 100-meter running method is now larger, and he will run slower than before on the way to the highest speed in the first half, but the acceleration time is a little longer, Acceleration is more complete, and it can be faster in the middle and second half.

However, if you run 60 meters, you actually have to slightly reduce the stride length and increase the stride frequency to facilitate the first half of the race to be faster and more fully accelerated.

Su Zu still follows the 100-meter running method. Lu Jianming and several other coaches do not recommend him to change it. After all, the 100-meter event is the top priority, and the 60-meter is just for the accumulation of competition. purpose of experience. A running method that has just begun to take shape, if it does not encounter a particularly big bottleneck, it is still necessary to change it carefully.

Soon, the 60m final is over. Su Zu's final result was 6.60 seconds, the same as his last time in the domestic indoor race. However, in terms of ranking, it was third, the first time in the preliminaries was 6.58, and the second was 6.59.

Su Zu stood beside the finish line, breathing heavily. Although he was mentally prepared, he really lost to others in the 60 meters, and he was a little distracted for a while.

"Running well, although I didn't get the first place, I'm still very good. I'm only fifth in the final." Liu Yangyu next to the track looked at Su Zu's expression and ran over to comfort him.

He played well in today's 60-meter hurdles final, but he was able to win the championship in the 60-meter hurdles in the domestic indoor competition, and only fifth in the international arena. Of course, this is also related to the fact that he has just arrived in Austria and is adjusting his state.

"Okay, it's good to play your best level." Lu Jianming patted Su Zu on the shoulder. He has studied Su Zu's competition results in detail, and he has been in the country all the way. In the game, he basically came first, fearing that his mentality would be unbalanced.

Chen Jian, Yang Guangzong and others who came to watch together also have the attitude of brothers, saying that they failed to enter the finals, and they were not as good as Su Zu.

Athletes all have a strong will to win, but not everyone can win the championship every time. There will always be a lot of loss, regret and pain, all of which come from this process.

Su Zu smiled wryly, he is the youngest in the team now, but he didn't expect to lose his mind for a while, everyone came to comfort him with their achievements.

He joined the national track and field team for a short time, but he clearly felt that the atmosphere of the whole team was much more harmonious than other professional teams he knew. Perhaps, it is this kind of team atmosphere that, after Liu Yangyu, has been able to continuously cultivate generations of outstanding newcomers in future generations, gradually narrowing the gap between the Chinese men's short track program and the international one.

While several people were talking, a female voice with a strange accent suddenly sounded beside her, "SUZU?"

Su Zu turned his head and looked over, a girl with long brown hair wearing a community gym uniform, looking at him curiously.

It was the white teenage girl who nearly hit him on her bike last night.
