In the women's 1500m, a total of eight girls participated.
The 1500-meter starting line is different from the 400-meter, but rather an arc outward from the inside runway. Once the race began, athletes from all tracks scrambled to gather on the first track.
When the starting gun sounded, Tena on the seventh track was the first to cross the starting line, and she quickly took the first position on the first track. Judging by her reaction at the start and her running movements, she was in much easier shape than she was in the women's 400m race in the morning.
Hani, who was with Tenna, watched Turna run out, and then ran directly across the lawn on the playground to the track on the other side, where she was going to wait for Turna to run over and continue to cheer for her.
Turna was in better shape in the afternoon than in the morning, with a steady pace, light and powerful, a resolute gaze, a high fighting spirit, and grabbed the first place after the start. Standing in the stands, Hasen, who was watching the game, said to his second brother Haacke.
This kind of long-distance race is not about the speed at the start, but about endurance, and it is a reasonable allocation of one's physical strength. On the field, as long as you don't get too far and give a little more force in the final sprint, you should have a good result. Huck said.
Brother, what do you think Turna can win this game, and what are the odds of winning? Hassan asked.
With more than three and a half laps to run the 1,500m, the race has just begun, and although she is now in first place, it doesn't fit her usual strategy for long-distance races. Huck said.
So how should it run? Hasson asked, confused.
She should know that a long race, running in second or third place, and following the first place closely, without falling too far behind, is a good strategy. The school sports meeting is not a professional athlete competition, most of the students on the field have limited physical fitness, and there is no need to do their best in the first half of the schedule, retain a little physical strength, and leave some energy for the final sprint. In this way, with her strength, it should not be a problem to get the first or second place. Huck said.
Oh! Huck snapped into his mind.
Turna had already finished the first lap, and she was still at the front, but not as fast as she had started. The second and third places behind her followed closely behind her, and their speed slowed down.
On the second lap of the race, Turna was a little unsettled on the field, and she began to look out of the field from time to time, as if she was looking for something, and her pace began to become a little disordered and heavy, as if she had been filled with lead, and her speed slowed down significantly. And the two girls who followed closely behind Tena, as if on purpose, also reduced their speed, that is, they did not run to the first position without her running.
The other athletes are already significantly different from the three athletes in front.
Looking at Turna's state, Huck finally became a little anxious. Huck listened to what Haney said before the game when he asked him to cheer for Tena, and his heart was also drumming, especially when he thought that he might never see Tena again after today, which made him even more anxious.
And now, looking at Tena who was struggling the field, Huck still didn't know how to face her, he was still pretending to be calm, and the sweat on his forehead was oozing out.
However, looking at the bubble-like bubbles formed by Hada in the sky, Hasen knew that the last moment was coming, and the worry and concern in his heart for the person on the field became more and more intense, and a nameless sense of tension and powerlessness quickly occupied his thoughts, as if they were desperately rushing out of his body and making regret a reality.
On the track, the athletes have already completed the second lap one after another.
The girl who was running in second place suddenly accelerated, overtook Tenna, and little by little distanced herself from Tenna, one, two, three meters, and then maintained the gap again.
The girl who ran in third slowly filled the position of the girl who rushed to the first, and continued to follow closely behind Tena, as if she could overtake the person in front of her at any time if she wanted to.
On the playground, on both sides of the track, there are students who accompany the runners, cheering for the athletes in their classes. They were getting more and more excited, and the cheering and shouting were getting louder and louder.
Boys and girls swarmed and clustered together, following left and right like ministers, gathering on both sides of the track for athletes in their own classes. They formed the runway into a small, moving, human formation, and couldn't tell who was shouting whose name and who was cheering for whom.
Turna, come on! Turna, come on! Haney shouted loudly as she mingled in the line cheering for Tena.
Seeing Tena being overtaken by the classmates behind her and slowly pulling away, Hani's heart became nervous. She also noticed that Turna seemed to be a little out of strength, and her steps were less coordinated.
Although several other athletes also showed fatigue from physical exhaustion, they had no distractions after all, and with the encouragement and companionship of their classmates, it seemed that there was a steady stream of energy injected into their bodies, which was enough for them to persist in their current speed until the end.
But Turna's spiritual pillar has not yet appeared, she is like a leaky ball, leaking air all the time, but she has not seen the person who cheered her up.
Hani, who has nothing to do, decides to hardpull Huck in front of Tena again. Just as she turned to leave, Huck suddenly appeared in front of her.
At the same time, Hasson in the stands disappeared. The transparent bubble in the sky shook a few more times.
Huck, you're finally here. Turna is coming over soon, and there's one last lap, so go cheer her on. When he saw Huck, Hani grabbed Huck's arm as if he had seen a life-saving straw, as if he was afraid that he would run away.
Rest assured, she will definitely get the first place. Huck was so categorical and confident.
With that, Huck quickly rushed into the line of escorts.
Huck saw that at the turn of the track, the girl who had been following her closely behind her and running in third position was slowly overtaking her, and Tena was now in third position.
Turna, I'm coming. Among the classmates who ran for Tena, Huck said, who was crammed into the innermost position parallel to her.
Huck followed Tena's stride, running alongside her.
Although Huck's voice was not loud, and the noise around him was noisy, Turna could hear it clearly, truly, because it was only for Turna alone.
Hearing the familiar and gentle voice, Tena turned her head as she ran and saw the person she had in mind. Suddenly, her tears flowed out, mixed with sweat on her face, and fell on her body and smashed to the ground.
Tena wiped a handful of tears with her arm, poof, and smiled. She suddenly felt that her body was full of strength, the soreness in her legs slowly disappeared, and her heartbeat became more and more regular and stronger.
Turna, come on! I believe that you can catch up with the people in front of you, and the first one belongs to you. Huck said.
Kindness! Tena nodded confidently.
I'm waiting for you at the finish line! Huck said again.
Turna nodded vigorously again.
After receiving a firm reply from Turna, Huck slowed down, stopped, and walked out of the arena.
The bubbles in the sky shook again.
