Born to Run

　　 "Yep Chin, it's almost time to go."

　　 Ye Qin, who was running back and forth on the plastic track, heard Li Jianchao's shout, stopped slowly, and beckoned with a few people, "I'll be here soon."

With his hands on his hips, panting slightly, standing on the standard 400-meter track, looking at the many colorful flags and banners erected on the sidelines, there are many boys and girls who come to various schools to participate in competitions like him, Ye Qin only I feel an unspeakable excitement in my heart.

　　 The spikes on the feet fell on the surface of the runway, which was rough and textured. The orange surface and white dividing line and the green delineated court in the middle of the runway seemed dazzlingly beautiful.

　　 "I will be playing here tomorrow!"

　　 The cautious thinking that belongs to a young person, he feels a little bit uncertain about his self-confidence, which makes him unable to calm down. The few times he put on the spikes for trotting, he felt that his body was as light as flying.

Ye Qin himself didn’t understand why he liked running like this. Before in junior high school and elementary school, he also loved to run and jump, but at that time he seemed to be purely running, often just in a hurry without the conditions. .

　　 Since the school sports meeting of Xiushui No. 2 Middle School, when he started to run, the wind rang in his ears. He particularly liked the feeling of running. It seemed to become free, and it seemed that he had pulled back to the starting line with many other people.

　　Everyone is the same on this runway!

　　 Ye Qin vaguely felt that when he was on the runway, the world treated him the most fair!

　　 The external factors have been stripped away. When standing on the track, no matter whether the family is good or bad, no matter whether the brain is smart or not, there is only one result, which is who runs faster!

　　 He likes to surpass others' feelings one after another. He likes the soreness of his muscles when he reaches the anaerobic limit of his body, which makes him feel so real.

　　 "Ye Qin, what's wrong, are you nervous?"

　　 Yan Ning watched Ye Qin standing on the runway from a distance, seemingly caught in some different emotions, and walked over slowly.

　　 "No, teacher." Ye Qin shook his head quickly, but at the moment of denial, he did feel that his heart suddenly shook.

"What should I do if I didn't get the ranking?" Ye Qin looked at Yan Ning from the corner of his eyes, and quickly took it back. In the past few months, Mr. Yan Ning has helped him tremendously. The school's several projects add up. His nutritional expenses are enough for his daily meals and there is extra.

　　 He didn't want to disappoint Yan Ning, and he also liked the feeling of surpassing all his opponents and being the first to cross the finish line and be cheered.

Yan Ning didn't know what Ye Qin was thinking in her heart, but she vaguely remembered how she felt when she participated in the official competition for the first time, and patted Ye Qin's shoulder lightly, "Go back and rest, relax, only the game starts. , You will definitely run the best!"

　　 "Well, thank you teacher!"

　　 Ye Qin nodded, turned around and looked reluctantly at the runway. There were a few boys from the middle school where he didn't know it was, and he and his party just jumped on the runway and started to run.

　　 The next day, December 5th, at 8 o'clock in the morning, Nanxiu City No. 1 Middle School was full of life. It was so lively.

　　 Although the opening ceremony of the Nanxiu City Middle School Games is still relatively simple, it is undoubtedly much more formal and atmospheric than the Xiushui No. 2 Middle School Games. Each representative team entered the stadium in order for a collective appearance.

The lineup represented by 　　 Xiushui No. 2 Middle School is:

　　Leader: Yan Ning

　　 Coaches: Yan Ning, Wang Pingchang, Zhang Jiachuan

　　Men's Division: 4×100m

　　 No. 351 Liu Yizhen 100 meters, 200 meters;

　　 352 Li Jianchao 200 meters, 400 meters;

　　 353 Guo Shaoren shot put;

　　 No. 354 is extended to 1500 meters, triple jump;

　　 355 Yang Dashun high jump, long jump;

　　……

　　 360 Yechin 100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters;

　　 Women's Group: 4×100m

　　 361 Sun Xianru 100 meters, 200 meters;

　　 362 Liu Lanlan 100 meters, long jump;

　　……

　　 367 Gao Hongying 800 meters, 1500 meters;

　　 368 Huangqin 200 meters, high jump;

　　 Compared with Nanxiu No. 1, No. 2, No. 6, and No. 9 middle schools, as well as the mighty teams of Jianping No. 1 and No. 2 middle schools in the urban area, the number of contestants of ten boys and eight girls in Xiushui No. 2 middle school is undoubtedly much less.

　　 But looking at the 30-odd representative teams in the city, the number of teams in Xiushui No. 2 Middle School is not particularly small, and even the number of participating teams in Xiushui No. 1 Middle School is only 23.

　　 Xiushui No. 2 Middle School's lineup is mainly high school group. Only two students with relatively good grades in the junior high school group were selected for the representative team.

　　The game will last from Friday, December 5th to Sunday, December 7th.

　　 After the simple opening ceremony, at 9:30 in the morning, the 7th Nanxiu City Middle School Games officially kicked off.

　　 At 9:30 a.m., the track race started with the men's and women's 100-meter preliminaries in the junior high school group, followed by the women's 100-meter preliminaries in the high school group, and the men's and women's 400-meter preliminaries in the high school group.

　　 The men's 100 meters and 200 meters in the high school group seemed to be for the sake of viewing and importance of the game, and they were put on the next day.

　　 After the start of the junior high school competition, Ye Qin and Li Jianchao were driven by Yan Ning to the straight on the other side of the standard track for a simple warm-up.

　　The first project was the 400m. Both Yan Ning, the team leader, and Ye Qin and Li Jianchao, who were warming up, became nervous.

　　 There are a total of 29 participants in the 400-meter high school group. There are a total of four preliminaries. Because of the relationship between distance and difficulty, there is no preliminaries and semi-finals like the 100-meter. Instead, the top eight will go directly to the final based on the results.

　　 At 10:20 in the morning, the men's 400m preliminaries started.

　　 Ye Qin is the second group of the preliminaries. Compared to yesterday’s mood, Ye Qin’s heart suddenly started pounding after seeing the players from the first preliminary group playing.

　　 Compared with the school sports meeting of Xiushui No. 2 Middle School, today's city middle school sports meeting is undoubtedly bigger and more people come. Moreover, the noisy and exciting atmosphere of the whole scene made people can't help being brought in.

Yesterday, when inspecting the venue, Yeqin's attention was still mainly focused on the track and the environment, but there was a slight sense of anxiety in his heart, but after a night of fermentation, and the crowds of people after the official game started at this time, that point was buried in the crowd. The anxiety in my heart still surged.

　　 On the stadium, the broadcast sounded one after another, and the high flags floated high. The foam boards representing the various teams were raised high, crowds surged, and all kinds of school uniforms and sportswear were dazzled.

　　 In addition to athletes from various middle schools, there are also students from various middle schools in the city who spontaneously come to cheer for their school’s representative team. Even Yeqin saw several reporters from municipal TV stations appearing on the playground carrying huge cameras during the inspection.

　　 "Ye Qin believes in himself!"

　　 Yan Ning stood on the edge of the starting line, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com made a cheering gesture at Ye Qin.

　　 She has a lot of experience in the game, just from the words and deeds of the players before the game, she can probably judge the mentality of the players at this time.

　　 Ye Qin is relatively active on weekdays. When I watched the venue yesterday, I could see that Ye Qin was still quite excited. However, after entering Nanxiu No. 1 Middle School today, he seemed a little more cautious.

　　 Before the competition, there will be ups and downs in mood, which is also Yan Ning's expectation.

　　 The school sports meeting is a small scene after all. There are very few people participating in the competition, not to mention that many of them are teachers and classmates they are familiar with, and they are relatively relaxed psychologically.

　　 When I went to a strange city like Nanxiu City, I looked at the warm atmosphere around me. Rural teenagers like Ye Qin, the first time players to participate in this level of competition, will be more or less affected.

　　 However, it depends on whether the impact is positive or negative. Appropriate tension and pressure can sometimes make the players unbalanced, but some can make the players more focused and keep their attention.

　　 The pressure of the game is often invisible and intangible, and it does not mean that you can be restrained if you want to exercise restraint.

The best way to solve this problem is still continuous competition, one after another. In such competitions, athletes will be tempered step by step, and their mental state will naturally get better and better. Faced with various large-scale events, the external and internal Pressure can stabilize the mentality.

　　 In the first 400-meter preliminaries, Yan Ning's goal is to hope that Yeqin can enter the finals.

　　 In fact, he was going to lose, Yan Ning didn't take it too seriously. There are several other projects in the future. During the two months that Ye Qin trained under her, no one knew about it, but she was very confident in Ye Qin's strength.
