2015 南京山地马拉松踏青记

2015 Nanjing Mountain Marathon (Spring Outing) Diary

Route Video

这篇小记拟稿时，已有不少跑友发布了各种版本的精彩报道。为尽量避免内容重复，笔者将从自身视角阐述对此赛事的点滴记忆。

When drafting this diary, many runners had told their stories. In order not to tell a much too overlapped one, allow me to present the event from my point of view.

3月29日，下图中标出的地方，就是赛事的起点和终点。

March 29, the spot marked in the map is the Start/Finish line of the race.

来到起点之前，和之后，都特么的是各种精彩的回忆啊。看那湛蓝的湖面和绿茵茵的树林，我是不会怀疑的。

The time that came before reaching the spot and the time after that was so full of unforgettable memories. Look at the sapphire blue lake and jade green forests, never was there a doubt.

先说之前吧。周六一大早好像是自然醒，一醒来就想到12点要去好像是人民广场的某个地方赶大巴。为了不迟到，想想还是别睡懒觉了，反正可以到大巴上补觉。起来开始理东西，咔，居然忘了一个很小但是可能很重要的玩意在公司了——眼镜固定绳。这可是答应了电鳗要带给他的呀。之前有一次比赛就是因为下坡时眼镜摔坏，差点退赛。这眼镜固定绳，对跑山可是很细节的物品。带上他，眼镜稳稳的，可以全程不用推一次眼镜，下再大的破，用再快的速度，都不用，真的。所以，我还是去公司拿吧，反正也不远。

Let’s talk about the pre-spot part. Saturday morning was a natural wake up, first thing came to mind was I’d got to reach somewhere in People Square before 12 PM for the bus to Nanjing. I cannot be late. No more sleeping. I can sleep on the bus anyway. Then I got up, pack things up, and found something forgotten in office. The glass-fastener is a small accessory but its use can be big. I promised to Man-man (his nickname) that I would bring one for him. In one race before, it was due to Man-man’s glass broke its leg that he almost dumped the race. Using such a fastener, the glass can be very steady, no need to push the glass from time to time, how steep the slope, how high the pace, believe me, no fooling around. You save time and raise security level not having to push the glass. Therefore, I must fetch it for him. The company is not far anyway.

对于赛前的准备，除了睡得稍微少了一点，其余都基本达到预期。赛前准备总体评分：90（满分按100算）。

For the pre-race preparation, basically everything went as good as expected except under-sleeping. Overall preparation score: 90 (of 100). 

枪声一响，出发。这次比赛的目标是：消耗尽可能多的体力，跑个尽可能好的成绩。一出发，便启动高专注度的竞赛模式。注意力始终在几个核心要素上交替：呼吸节奏，摆臂幅度，轻松步伐，放松肩膀，跑姿协调，按时及时补给。注意力缺失率很低，控制在比较好的范围：好几次看到美女，10秒左右就回过神来——哥是在比赛，要拼成绩，看美女是完赛后的事情。马上把注意力返回到核心要素的交替上。注意力控制总体评分：95（满分100）。

As the gun sounded, I kicked myself across the starting line. My goal for the race was to consume as much energy as possible to get as good a result as possible. Soonest possible, I activated the High-Attention race mode, which was to keep my attention focused on looping the nuclear elements: rhythmic breaths, matching arm-swinging, easy stepping, relaxed shoulders, natural running style, and on-time/in-time refueling. A low absent-mindedness rate was achieved. A number of times pretty girls came to sight, 10 seconds was almost the longest time that eyeballs switched focus – thinking that I was here for a race, I had a goal in mind, put the pretties behind the finish line. Then I resumed looping the key elements. Overall attention span score: 95 (of 100).

由于赛前老早得知赛事补给相当给力，就决定轻装上阵。短衣短裤，250毫升水，两个能量胶，若干应急用的盐丸。尽可能的减少了负担。没想到的是，两位白皮肤的哥们，压根就没带水。差距啊。不过他们个高腿长骨头重，想想自己也没吃太多亏。

As told far back before the race that supply was fantastic, I decided to use light equipment plan. Short sleeve shirt and pants, 250 cc water, 2 energy gel, and a couple salt pills. For me that must have been highest possible burden-reducing. To make my jaw drop was that there were two white men did not take water at all. 

出发后，一直和电鳗一前一后。不知是这次准备的比较好，以致状态比之前几次比赛好，还是因为电鳗准备的没有之前几次好，以致状态没之前好，领跑的角色，提前向我身上转移。上大坡，照例大步走。但是在某个坡上，一个老大哥居然把我们超了，超了还不停地跑，眼看越拉越开。我心想，不对呀，前面还有七八个人，要有名次，我们不能被一老大哥拉这么开啊。我连走带跑，争取把他留在视野内。一到下坡，哎呀，我们的优势可大了，一下下就超了。到下个上坡，又被反超了。想着尽量缩小跟他的距离，缓坡上我也尽量跑。回头一看电鳗，他手一挥，我想是在示意我先走。我想反正他上坡力量后劲足，我到下个上坡等他赶上来不迟。

At the beginning, Man-man and I kept leading each other. No idea whether it’s because I prepared better than previous races, so that I felt better this time, or it’s because Man-man prepared less good than before so that he performed less good, the role of leading leaned to my side unexpectedly early. When climbing big slopes, we strategically switched to striding. On one of the slopes, an elder runner overtook us, worse, still kept running. It worried to me to see him disappear ahead, because there should have been seven or eight runners ahead. If we wanted to rank high, we’d got to stop being overtaken by such runners. We are young, and obviously look more energetic. I used half-stride-half-run to try to keep him in sight. Whenever there came a downhill, we showed obvious advantages and retook position quite swiftly. Sad thing was at the next uphill, we lost again. In hope of not falling behind of him for too much, I tried to keep running on relatively gentle uphill. Turning back my head, Man-man waved his hand. It looked to me like a wave-goodbye at that moment. I thought he’s releasing a sign that I go ahead. Thinking that he is strong in terms of energy reserve, I figured that I could go first and he would catch up next uphill.

评估了一下当前状态还能跑，就跟着老大哥一直跑。啥时候把他超了，不记得了，反正是某个下坡。坡一下完，回头看不到他了。开始了一段比较漫长的孤胆枪手之旅。心里惦记着鳗鳗可能不经意间就突然出现在后面。不知过了多久，超了一个。过了又不知多久，又超了一个。又过了不知多久，看到一男一女，这是不是又是女一号请的私兔。好像不是。女的把男的拉的越来越开。看背影，是个女神，一定要跟上。身材棒棒的。一定要跟上。鸡血一打，动力可足了。满血跟上。过了没多久，哎呀，女神好像后劲没我足啊，超！趁机喊了声加油，看到了女神的真身——果然不同凡响。可惜哥不能陪女神了。继续冲吧。后面貌似陆续超了两个人。

A self status assessment showed that I could keep running, so I followed the elder. When did I overtake him? I cannot recall. It must be some downhill, reaching whose foot, I could not see him when turning back my head again. For a long distance, I was running alone, and felt slightly lonely. Man-man might suddenly catch up with me anytime. Time passed by for who knows how long, I overtook one. God knows how long time later, another one. I did not know another how long later, I saw a lady and a gentleman. I wondered if this was the No. 1 fast lazy with her private pacer. It turned out to be negative when the lady left the man behind. Looking at the back, it was OMG (Oh My God). I must not fall behind. The perfect figure attracted me to get closer and closer. It worked like a drag, fully refueled me. Not long later, alas, the Goodness seemed to be less good in stamina. Overtake! As getting beyond, I shouted “Jiayou” and took the chance to glimpse her face. It was really awesome. But I could not company the lady and had to keep running. After that, I overtook another two runners one after another.

天热，我的250cc好像是少了点。不过也还好，不看到补寄站，最后一口水坚决不喝，尽量不喝。万一抽筋了，我还要最后一口水嗑盐丸呢。看到有辆车，心想到补给站了，差点把水喝了。居然只是个志愿者。志愿者开个途观来指路，我也是醉了。顺着他指路的方向，我失望的接着往前跑，忘记问他还有多远到补给站，后悔了。

It was hot and it seemed my water was under prepared, but no too bad. I kept the last drop of water until I saw a supply station, in hope that once a cramp attacked, I had a drop of fluid to take the salt pill. At a time I saw an SUV and I thought it’s the supply and I almost consumed the last drop. It turned out to be a volunteer. A volunteer drove a Tiguan to play the guide. This made me drunk. Following his finger, I felt a bit down and ran forward. I regretted that should have asked him how far it was from the next the station

终于来到补给站，赶紧喝掉水，把两个手榴弹水壶拿出来，很礼貌的请帅哥美女帮忙灌满。连续三个补给站都是，没吃任何别的东西，只是喝，功能饮料为主，也喝了次水，喝了次可乐。特么的据说补给站的东西很丰富，除了喝的，我只拿了两次盐丸，每次一粒，想想都很对不起老贵老贵的报名费。不过第一次吃补给站的盐丸时，自己的只剩一粒了。当时已有快抽筋的感觉，虽然离上次吃盐丸好像不是很久，但还是又吃了一粒。到大概35公里时，真的差不多抽了，把自己最后一粒也吃了。速度也降了。最后一个补给站时又吃了一粒。站内帅哥美女告诉我，我是第四，前面有两个白哥哥和一个黄哥哥。白哥哥出去10分钟，黄哥哥刚出去，我追呀。又什么这个粥那个粥的，看都没看到。亏大了。算了，他们告诉我可能还能追上第三，是不是就是不想给我吃啊，NND，这不是撵我走么。

Finally I reached the supply station. I emptied my two small grenade-like bottles and asked the beautiful men and women to help me fill. For three stations in a row, I only drank and did not eat anything. I mainly drank sports water, for one time I drank pure water, and another time, cola. They said the supply stations were like Chinese New Year Eve’s dinner. But I enjoyed only some water and two pills of salt. I made me feel this doesn’t deserve my registration fee. The first time I took salt pill, I had only one of my prepared pills left. I could tell a cramp was about to attack at the time. Although it seemed that I took the previous pill not long enough ago, I decided to take another. Nearing 35 KM, the cramp began attacking; luckily it’s not that much. I took the last one of mine. And my speed reduced. At the last supply station, I swallowed another one. The beautiful men and women told me I was No. 4 at that time, two white men and a Chinese man ahead of me. White men left 10 minutes ago. Chinese man just departed. I’d got to catch up with him – was what I was thinking. Where’re the so-called wonderful porridge and amazing soup? I saw nothing. Oh, my money, my heart was bleeding. They told me I could catch up with the third one for what? Driving me away? OK, there I went. 

一路跑下去，都是扎堆在走的人。一看号码牌，好像都是半程的。一路期盼着看到个跑的，心情迫切。看到不少超赞的女神的背景，我也是非常的感恩。南京真是个好地方，有这么多身材超赞的女跑神。虽然不一定都是混迹在南京，但是我在杭州好像就没看到这么多。太赞了。

Running along the trail, I saw plenty of walking runners. Watching their numbers, it showed that they should all be half-distance runners. I was looking forward to meeting the number-third guy, for much. Seeing so many pretty girls’ back, I felt so grateful. It made the exhausting journey quite enjoyable.  Nanjing was really a wonderful place for having so many perfectly shaped girl runners. Maybe not all of them resided in Nanjing, but it seemed that I never saw so many of them in Hangzhou. It’s terrific.  

终于来到某个上坡，看到有个哥们在跑，这个时候还能跑的，一路跑来，事实证明肯定是全程的。虽然慢了，但是至少是在跑。我一看自己状态应该可以超过他，便想来个低姿态超过去算了。没想到偷偷侧个脑袋看号码牌确认是否是全程时，这哥们很友好的问我怎么称呼。我喘气都很吃力了，这个时候，除了顺便看看前方美丽的女神背影，我啥都没心情了。回头看美女真身的余力都征用给跑步了。所以，我只是出于礼貌，回了句“我们终点联系吧”，就继续跑了。

At long last I came to an uphill where I saw a running man. On such an occasion, those who were still able to run must provably be full-distance runners. Slow he might be, yet he was still running. I felt that I could overtake him and decided to do it with a low-profile. What surprised me was that when I peeked for his number to confirm whether he’s really full-distance, he saw my looking at him and asked me for my name. At that moment even breathing was a struggle to me. I did not want to do anything else apart from watching pretties’ back in passing. 

好了，此刻，为了保住第三的位置，我也别无选择了只能尽力跑了。看到41公里路牌时，我眼泪都差点掉下来。原以为那一公里会是最漫长的一公里。想到终点会有我亲爱的碧池们在迎接，想着终点会有我亲爱的碧池们在迎接，又想着终点会有我亲爱的碧池们在迎接，居然水库大坝立马出现在眼前，最后两百米了，又抽筋了，抽就抽吧，我冲啊，看到一百米外的终点线，顿时筋不再抽，所有美女瞬间蒸发，脑海里浮现着终点那边我亲爱的碧池们。离终点50米，工作人员丝带都没拉好，害的我慢下来，本来准备好酷酷的冲刺一下的计划也泡汤了。没办法，等他们拉起丝带了，我只能用600的速度撞线了。

So, in order to stay position number three, I got no option but kept running. When I saw the 41 KM board, tears almost dropped from my eyes. I felt the last one KM would be the most enduring one. Thinking of that my endearing Crazy-BITCHes would be expecting me at the finish line, knowing that my endearing fellas would be expecting me at the finish line, and thinking that my endearing fellas would be expecting me at the finish line, the god-damn dam of the reservoir by the finish line suddenly came into sight. Two hun-hun-hundred meters left. A cramp launched another attack. Let it be. I’d ignore it and keep running. One hundred meters left. All beautiful girls disappeared from my vision all of a sudden; the only thing on my mind was the scene that my lovely fellas were expecting me at the finish line. Last 50 meters. The volunteers did not even get the tape ready for me breast. I had to slow down. I was planning to breast the tape using a cool pose. What a waste! At the time they the raised the tape, I could only use a 6’00 pace to cross the line.

亲爱的碧池们果然在迎接，太棒了。一大波美丽的碧池拥了上来，广播里喊起第三名的名字，又一大波美丽的碧池拥上来，太棒了，画面定格。完美结局。果然还是碧池的妹子最美。

Sure enough, my endearing BITCHes were there waiting for me. So great to see them. A huge wave of pretty fellas approached me. The broadcast announced the finish of me, another huge wave of Crazy BITCHes approached me. It was fantastic. Freeze frame. Perfect ending. No doubt my fellow runners are the most wonderful running pretties. 

婉儿姐到终点时，工作人员告诉她，跟你贴同样款式绩效贴的男生是第三名，她就知道是我了。感谢婉儿姐的绩效贴，美观，大方，实用。

When finishing, Wan-Er-Sister was told that the guy who used the same sports tape as her was third-place. She immediately knew it was me. Thanks to Wan-Er-Sister for the sports tape, nice-looking, natural, and useful. 

总结

对于这次比赛，从参赛者对组办方的角度来看，总体感觉还是不错的。各个环节都井然有序。补给比较到位，提供盐丸说明为参赛者考虑得颇为细致。终点的自助餐挺丰富，但可能是因为跑得太 high,我一直是味觉失灵状态，毫无食欲。工作人员的态度都很好。唯一要吐槽的是，明明是第三个撞线，由于未撞线的芯片成绩排第一的成绩被宣布无效的白皮肤帅哥所谓的申诉，硬是把我名次写成第四。除此以外，整个赛事体验还是挺不错的，值得一赞。

Closing

Thinking from a runner’s view toward the organizer, it can be concluded that the event has been a well-organized one. It showed order throughout the event. Supplies were good. Providing salt pills showed consideration for runners. The buffet at the finish site can be lavish in some sense, although late finishers might not be able to enjoy all there had been to provide. The sad thing was probably due to I ran much too hard and got exhausted, I was taste-blind for a long time. No appetite at all. All the event staffs showed excellence in their service. Yet there’s one thing for me to complain. I was the third to breast the finish tape, but due the so-called appeal of the result-voided white runner who did not seem to have ever crossed the finish line, my ranking was forced to lower to fourth. Apart from that, the whole event has been a wonderful experience. Applauses.
