Shan Ye Langhanggui

Although nearly two years have passed, I still remember the cross-country race in Changxing vividly.

Yixing is located at the southwest end of Jiangsu Province, bordering Changxing City, Zhejiang Province in the south, and is a hilly and mountainous area at the junction of Yixing and Changxing, which belongs to the residual vein of Tianmu Mountain. The highest peak, the Yellow Tower, is 611.5 meters above sea level, making it the second highest peak in Jiangsu. The unique geographical environment has attracted various sports teams to hold various cross-country competitions in this hilly and mountainous area. Although it is not as world-famous as UTMB, it is more than enough as a weekend training competition.

Jiyue Qiyu is one of the well-organized competitions. The starting point is Changxing, and the competition organically integrates the classic routes of the two places to form a unique route. It is this line setting that attracts outdoor enthusiasts from both places to participate in the competition and compete with each other. As a runner, I also went to join in the fun.

The starting point of the competition is set in the scenic Datang Gongcha Courtyard. The track is one scene at a time, and the upstream trickle gathers into a small reservoir not far from Gongchayuan. If you don't come for the game, make a cup of tea, and the day will pass quickly and comfortably.

The track is a typical stone road similar to Yi 'nan Mountain. Fortunately, the weather is sunny that day, and if it rains, it will be a mess. Bamboo leaves are scattered on both sides of the track, and after soaking in the landscape, they smell fragrant all the way. People run in the scenery, people are in Traveling in a pictorial world, relaxed and comfortable, just gulping the fresh air in the mountains, completely ignoring all kinds of physical discomfort, thinking that let him be sour and let him be painful.

pass the Wushi ancient road, Ershisan Bay, Tea Garden and Yangmeilin along the road. After running down the mountain for a while, the smooth road will go up the mountain again, so I can't count how many hills I ran up and down. I just bite my teeth and follow my friends in front, so I'm in trouble for being alone in this middle of nowhere.

The mountains in Tianmu Mountains are not as magnificent as those in Qilian Mountains. The mountain vegetation in the west is low, and you can see the peak of the mountain when you look around. The mountains here, with dense vegetation, only know that they are in this mountain, but I don't know the true face of this mountain. I can only climb up with my head down. When my physical strength reaches the limit, I can only encourage my friends to turn a corner in front of me and get to the top of the mountain. I don't know how many turns I have made, and the top of the mountain doesn't know where to stare at us and test us. But there is no mountain that you can't climb, and there is no hurdle that you can't cross. As long as you keep moving forward, you will always reach the top. With this belief, we crossed one mountain after another, and the end point finally appeared in front of us.

The cost of finishing the race is also huge. After soaking in the stream and rubbing with the soles for a long time, several big blisters are left, and the acid swelling of the legs is insignificant compared with the blisters on the soles of the feet. I want to go home and rest for a few days to get rid of my acid, and I will be a hero after a week. However, the painful time has just begun. If I have the ability to predict the future in advance, I will never join in this excitement.

In this secluded Shan Ye, I don't know what bacteria quietly infiltrated the wound on the sole of my foot, which doubled the swelling of my right thumb, like a cooked pig's trotter. In the next month or so, the feeling of pain step by step interfered with me all the time, affecting my attention. After trying various treatment methods, I finally eliminated the pain one month later. At that time, my daughter will soon come to our side, learn from these mistakes, or give up this sport for a while and rest. It's been more than a year and five months since I recalled it again.
