The day before the game, the contestants and the coaching staff came to the venue to familiarize themselves with the track.
For triathlon games, it is essential to be familiar with the venue in advance. Players should know the competition route and the situation in the transition zone in advance.
There are two transition areas in the triathlon. One is the transition area for swimming and cycling. Players need to take off their waterproof clothes and swimming caps, put on shoes and helmets, find their bicycles, and then start cycling. This process is a race against time. Moreover, each bike cannot be mistaken. If you don’t know where your bike is parked, you will definitely be blind during the race, so players must know the placement of the bike and equipment before the race. position.
The other conversion area is the conversion area for bicycles and long-distance running. The players have to park their bicycles at the designated positions, take off their helmets and put on their running shoes. This parking location cannot be mistaken. If you are not familiar with the venue in advance, finding a location will delay time.
At the same time, the contestants also need to search for some other information, such as water temperature, water flow direction, flat wind direction, and road surface gradient, which are all information that players should know in advance.
...
April 8 is the start time of the Asian Triathlon Championships, but the first is the women's competition, Zhang Guan's men's group, the official competition time is April 9.
On the day of April 9, the sun was shining, and more than 30 players from more than a dozen countries and regions gathered together, waiting for the start of the game on the shore. Of course, it is those dozen people who are truly capable, and the others are all used to make soy sauce.
It is now in April, so the water temperature is not too high, and waterproof clothing is also essential.
Many people think that during the triathlon swimming, the players are wearing swimsuits, in fact, they are wearing waterproof clothes. The main function of the waterproof clothing is to keep warm, so that after swimming for 1.5 kilometers, the body can also keep the body as dry as possible to avoid the player from catching a cold.
At the same time, waterproof clothing can protect the weaker players. When wearing waterproof clothing, the body's heat loss will be slower, and the physical energy consumption will also be smaller. This is a disguised protection for the weaker players.
If the water temperature exceeds 20 degrees Celsius, it means that the temperature is relatively high, so you don't need to wear waterproof clothes. However, regardless of the water temperature, the swimming cap must be worn. At the same time, players can also use swimming goggles and nose clips. The equipment to help swimming is not allowed.
The referee signaled the players to prepare, and then only heard a "bang" sound, and started the gun, and the contestants jumped into the water.
The Japanese players took the lead, while the other players followed the Japanese players.
After all, Japan is the host. Japanese players must have trained in this water area, and they are relatively familiar with the situation of this water area. Following behind the Japanese players, advancing in accordance with the sense of rhythm of the Japanese team will definitely save energy, so all countries compete The players invariably chose to follow behind the Japanese team.
However, after only five or six minutes, players began to fall behind. After all, the swimming level of the Japanese is one of the best in Asia.
The first player left behind was Malaysia’s Ismail. Malaysia sent two players this time, one Malay and one Chinese player. The Chinese player could barely keep up with the big team at the beginning of the game. But Malay Ismail, swimming level is really It was so bad that I only swam for more than 400 meters and was already left behind by the big army.
After 800 meters, the Mongolian player Gan Suhe was also thrown away by the big troops.
Gansukh is the only player in Mongolia. Before that, Zhang Guan didn’t even know that Mongolians still have triathlon sports. Only later did they know that Gansukh lived in Russia for more than ten years, Participate in the triathlon.
After 1000 meters, the Japanese players started to accelerate, and the level between the players was gradually pulled away. When the Japanese players started to sprint, only nine players could keep up with the pace of the Japanese team. They were the national team. Generals Jiang Zhihang, Hong Kong island players Wei Anzu and Li Zhihe, South Korean players Xu Minhao and Jin Zhushuang, Kazakh star Gag and Smolov, Uzbekistan Yunusov, Iraqi Sabah
Zhang Guan is in the second group. He is about 30 seconds slower than the Japanese. After the Japanese players started to accelerate, the gap was widened to 1 minute.
The Japanese team's Ryosuke Yamamoto first landed in 19 minutes and 02 seconds, followed by South Korean player Xu Minhao in 19 minutes and 03 seconds, and another Japanese player, Hosoda, ranked third in 19 minutes and 04 seconds. Then the first group of players also landed one after another, and the time spent was within 19 minutes and 20 seconds.
Taking into account external factors such as water temperature, this result is not bad. After all, it is April now. If it is placed in August or September, the water level will increase a bit, and the scores of the players can be improved by at least 30 to 40 seconds.
After the leading group players landed, it took another minute before the second group players finished the 1.5km swim.
"Look, that's Zhang Guan. He came up. What is his grade?"
"20 minutes and 03 seconds, ranked 15th, this score is very good!"
"In the fifteenth place among more than thirty contestants, he is also the top performer in the midstream. Isn't Zhang Guan coming to sell advertisements? I thought Zhang Guan would be the last one!"
"Nonsense, that's Zhang Guan! People's physical talent is the first in the world. With his physical talent, Zhang Guan can't swim a penultimate first!"
"The same is true, and Zhang Guan is only one minute behind now. Maybe he can catch up later. Don't forget, the next project is a bicycle!"
"Yeah, I almost forgot. Zhang Guan won the Tour de France last year. Compared to riding a bike, no one here is comparable to Zhang Guan!"
...
"20 minutes and 03 seconds? 15th place? So fast!" Coach Yamane Eki's face was a little unnatural.
Although Zhang Guan is one minute slower than Japanese players, this result has far exceeded the expectations of Yamane Hideyuki.
Swimming is only part of the triathlon, with the shortest time and the least distance. Like the 40-kilometer bicycle in the back, the players need to spend about an hour, and the last 10 kilometers of long-distance running, the players also need to spend more than half an hour. In comparison, swimming that can be completed in less than 20 minutes has minimal impact on the results of the competition.
The more important point is that bicycle is Zhang Guan’s strongest point. This does not need to be tested in actual combat, nor need to list any data. The achievement of winning four shirts in 21 consecutive stations of Zhang Guan Tour de France is enough to prove this. a little.
Yamane Eki does not know how long Zhang Guan will pull back on the 40km bike, but the Japanese team is far inferior to Zhang Guan in cycling, which is an indisputable fact.
"We have only one minute's advantage, and Zhang Guan is absolutely capable of pulling back on the bike event!" Hideki Yamane seemed a little anxious, and she suddenly felt like she had been cheated.
"It's impossible, Zhang Guan didn't come to sell advertisements? Did he really come to the game?" Yamane Hideki said to himself. (To be continued.)
