cut the waves

As soon as Yu Yu entered the water, he fell into the chaotic "hand-to-hand combat" of the players, and was hit twice on the head and legs.This is really a bad start.He didn't want to waste his energy "killing a bloody road" with people at the starting point, the triangle "human formation" slowly opened up the distance, and Yu Yuyou was at the end of the second echelon.

He still couldn't help thinking: What happened at home?Why did Yan Zheng and his mother hide it from him.He knows he's in the game and shouldn't be thinking about it.But in many cases, reason can overcome physical pain, but it cannot control the collapse of emotions.

Thinking of his grandfather, Yu Yu would always think of the first time he crossed the sea when he was a child——crossing the entire bay from Huaxi to Wangxianyu.That summer, he was only nine years old.Grandpa wore a big straw hat and sunglasses, was shirtless, wore a pair of unremarkable ragged shorts, and stepped on flip flops.The old man who was still in good spirits pointed at the sea level from a distance and asked him if he wanted to swim across.In Yu Yu's memory, the sun was shining brightly that day, and the sea water had the color of sapphire.

Compared with the vast sea, he is as small as a grain of sand.Yu Yu was a little frightened at the time, so he grabbed Grandpa's hand tightly and didn't speak.

Xu Qinglan was the first to disagree with the matter of crossing the bay: "Hey, the child is still young, fish and fish have never swam so far in the sea before, how dangerous it is!"

"I followed all the way, how could it be dangerous." Grandpa waved his hands indifferently, he squatted down in front of Yu Yu, put his arm around his shoulder, and smiled, "I've never swam before, so I'm going to try it!"

Xiao Yuyu still hesitated, and muttered, "It's too far away".

Grandpa laughed loudly: "You haven't tried it, how do you know it's too far away?"

"If you can swim there, grandpa will buy you your favorite sweet milk to drink."

Xiao Yuyu pursed her lips and opened her eyes wide, with a tinge of anticipation in her anxiety.

Although he was very scared, Grandpa rowed a small wooden boat and followed him with life-saving equipment.Later, grandpa's small wooden boat turned into a stylish jet ski.Every time he swam from Huaxi to Wangxianyu, the "booming" sound of the engine behind him became his safest guarantee.

He hadn't heard that familiar "boom" sound for a long time.

The arm pierced into the cool lake water and raised again, with mechanical movements and the gentle touch of the water, Yu Yu finally calmed down in the world he was used to, and his thoughts gradually focused.

Every open water competition is a different experience.The water of Nanhu Lake is not blue, but a kind of turbid dark green. There is no familiar sound of waves in my ears, only the chirping of birds in the forest.The first echelon took the lead to swim through the curve, and Yu Yu had a slight collision with someone again in the second echelon. Due to his lagging behind when taking off, Yu Yu failed to grab a friendly position this time.

Sometimes, Yu Yu felt that missing a corner vantage point was like encountering a red light at an intersection.Once the car encounters a red light, it is easy to be a red light at every intersection; if a car does not grab a favorable position for a corner, it is easy to collide with people at every next corner.This feeling is very disturbing.

He has to find a chance to surpass it.

However, it was only the first lap, should he speed up?

In the past two years of experience, Yu Yu realized that the most effective winning strategy is control: control the speed in the early stage to ensure that there is enough energy to sprint in the last 2000m.Before this championship match, Yan Zheng also told him in the same way: No matter what happens in the early stage—whether it is a collision, or the athletes around you are accelerating wildly—be sure to be patient and maintain your training speed.Years of training have brought physical memory to the muscles, and now, he no longer needs to recite "Pipa Xing" in his head to control the rhythm.

Past games have repeatedly proved that this strategy is effective.

However, Yu Yu didn't like the feeling of so many people in front of him, raised limbs, white water splashes, like dumplings.Probably because of the sudden excitement before the competition, grandpa brought back many of the most immature childhood memories of swimming in open water.Everything seems to have returned to the cluster of small flames buried deep in the years before he received systematic training——

He didn't like so many people swimming in groups in front of him.

He longed to embrace the open water.

He longed for the first ray of sunshine on the horizon to hit him unhindered.

He craves speed, power and grace amidst the heaving waves.

No matter how many times the coach emphasizes "don't worry", Yu Yu actually doesn't like it!Some athletes really enjoy the joy of "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger" and overtaking them in the end. However, if the aerobic endurance of the body allows, Yu Yu feels that he will definitely choose to go into the water and ride the dust, leading from the beginning to the end in two hours, washing his feet The second person was not allowed to drink half a sip of water.

As soon as this idea popped up in my heart, it grew wildly, like a restless flame.

If it was due to limited aerobic endurance in the past... Yu Yu thought to himself, the plateau training at the beginning of this year, plus more than a month of plain hypoxic training, his blood test data has made a qualitative leap, and his whole body seems to be tempered again Forged again.Well, he should be able to swim a bit faster, shouldn't he?But how fast can he go?How fast can we guarantee the later sprint?

Yu Yu has no answers to these questions.

Perhaps, he was so fast that he couldn't keep up with the final sprint.In this case, let alone the Asian Games tickets, he may not even be able to get the prize money.Not only Yan Zheng would scold him, but also the athletes in the team would laugh at him behind his back.

But at that moment, none of these things seemed to matter.How would he know if he didn't try it?The uniqueness of the swimming marathon is that it does not have a "fixed time record" like a swimming pool competition. Because of the different weather and water areas, the time spent each time is different, and the results only pay attention to the ranking in a single game.

When approaching the supply platform on the first lap, a dangerous idea suddenly popped up in Yu Yu's mind - to skip the supply and seize a favorable position in the next lap ahead of time.He just wanted to see how much he could speed up in the early stage!

Most of the athletes hadn't started to speed up yet, but Yu Yu had rushed to the forefront of the first echelon in the middle of the race and two laps.According to Yan Zheng's understanding of Yu Yu's training speed, he beat his chest and stamped his feet on the coaching platform, wishing he could pick up the horn and yell: "Come on, brat, let you charge so early!"

Soon, Yu Yu swam to the first place in two and a half laps, and most of the players hadn't exerted their strength yet.Yu Yu's eyes finally opened up, and all the people and escort ships were left behind by him.At that moment, his soul was connected with the ****, and he gained the long-lost peace.

And the real challenge started at that time.The huge water waves behind him remind him that he may be surpassed at any time.Yu Yu got the supplies when he swam through the supply platform for the third time, returned to the first place again, and started the last sprint.

Due to the acceleration in the early stage, this sprint is more difficult than ever before, but his body has undergone a series of training, and has been able to withstand less oxygen and higher levels of lactic acid.The heart and lungs are burning, and every muscle in the body is tense and sore.But Yu Yu still clearly felt that he could still control it, and he could still go faster!

Driven by Yu Yu, the contest that only appeared at the last moment appeared ahead of schedule at the penultimate corner.Yu Yu's ranking fluctuated violently among the top five. Some athletes surpassed the past, but Yu Yu quickly overtook them.Soon, the players at the head changed half of the time. Many people sprinted too early because they didn't control the speed well and were unable to continue. Yan Zheng was terrified.

Fortunately, Yu Yu kept on the head.

In the last 1000 meters, there was only one idea left in his mind - it didn't matter what ranking he took, he just wanted to do it, rushing to the last second he could control.

He once asked himself in a sunny sea: Can the game be more perfect?

Yes.It turns out that the game could be more perfect.

When Yu Yu used to compete, he always felt that he was just a unit of the competition.He is an athlete representing Salt Province. He trains hard, follows the strategy designed by the coach, and strives to achieve his goals.But this time, for the first time, Yu Yu felt that he was no longer a mechanical "individual", but a dynamic expression that integrated himself and a series of experiences.

Champions, and even the honor bestowed on an athlete by all competitions, are actually "dead".All the medals look similar, but behind those honors are countless people with unique and varied lives.

He was more than an athlete, a grade point - swimming was an expression of his life.Just like the ups and downs of a killer whale's life, all the scenery and encounters are recorded in its whale song.If his expression is also a "whale song", then there must be his ancestors' memories about water that have been engraved in his blood for generations, his love for the sea that "is not a conquest but a symbiosis", there must be those wonderful things Encounters leave fingerprints in his life, such as "the only thing a person needs to overcome is not others but himself"

…… As for the rigorous training, exquisite skills, and the penis that can bear more pain, they are tools to assist him in expressing.

Everything he has experienced is indispensable.

In the last 50 meters, Yu Yu's eyes widened.The sky is his, the water is his, the sun is his, and the applause is his.When Yu Yu's hand hit the finish timing board, the cheers were deafening.He was not as excited as he had imagined, but felt that he had swam heartily for these two hours.

Soon, the scoreboard results came out, and he heard a female voice shouting excitedly on the loudspeaker: "The champion of the National 10km Open Water Swimming Marathon Championship, Yu Yu from the Yanzhou team, is only an 18-year-old athlete!"

He climbed ashore, his consciousness slowly returned to reality, and the haze gathered in his heart again.A lot of people gathered around, and countless flashlights outside the fence shot him "click click", Yan Zheng rushed over and hugged him, patted him on the back and chattered excitedly: "Yes, young man! I really didn't expect that." , at the beginning I saw you rushing so fast, I thought you were so cool this time. Do you still remember your first competition, when you came up, you were on a rampage..."

Yan Zhengxu babbled and said something that Yu Yu couldn't hear clearly. His eyes fell on the cheering audience again—there was no one in the first row, nor in the second row—he didn't see the little killer whale waving. Mom still didn't come.

Then there is only one possibility, she went back.

Yu Yu's heart fell to the bottom of the valley again, and he pushed Yan Zheng in a daze: "Where did my mother go?"

Yan Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and said you should stretch first.

Long-term aerobic exercise always has a soothing magic power. Yu Yu sighed and lost the anxiety before departure.The organizer has a hot water jacuzzi for relaxation after the game, and Yu Yu stayed in it until the end of the game.But on the way he changed his clothes and was about to present the awards, he found a suspicious-looking little old man appeared outside the railing of the arena.

Yu Yu narrowed his eyes suspiciously.
