This is a crazy game and a difficult game. Because it's a game, so the door-to-door time is closed! To prevent the door from being closed, the speed of the contestant per hour shall not be less than 5 km (30 minutes a day reserved for Chinese meal time). In the competitions for several days, participants can only work hard to recover their physical strength during their sleep every night and restore their injuries during their daily competitions.

Introduction: Wei Shujie, the only female among the mainland runners in the Taiwan Tour! According to the total results, she is the number one female in this tournament, which is also her first champion since running! In fact, she has been exercising all year round and can’t tell that she is already at the level of her grandma!
After Sister Wei participated in the competition, I kept in touch with her. It was not until after the game that I dared to disturb her and asked some questions I particularly wanted to know.
For example, this race has a long time and a long distance, which is usually called "torture". What exactly makes Sister Wei want to run this island-round super marathon?
Sister Wei’s reply is simple and powerful: is the only one, so you must run, and you must run! Because I don’t want to leave too much blank space in my life, I want to go around the platform to give more content in my past, set an example for my younger generations, and never retreat when encountering difficulties, and never give up easily.
Anyone who has run a marathon knows that it is not easy to complete 42.195 kilometers! This super horse race is 1,045 kilometers, and the mileage required to be completed every day is equivalent to a super horse. You can imagine the difficulty of the process! To successfully finish the race, it is certainly impossible to do without certain preparation.
So, I asked the second question: Did Sister Wei make any special preparations before the game for this competition?
In the reply from Sister Wei to me, it is not difficult to see that her series of preparations before the game were also orderly. "Of course I was prepared before the race. I ran Chongli 88 before I signed up. I felt good after the race. I immediately signed up to the island. Then I ran Wugong Mountain, Beijing 100 around the Great Wall, Hanshou's 123, regular training, and competition instead of training, all for the island to do homework."

till most people imagine the hardships of the schedule, but what does support the runners to finish the race? This is also a question that many friends who are concerned about this game are curious about.
Sister Wei told us: only wants to finish the race, but he doesn’t think about anything else, and he doesn’t know how to think about it!
In fact, the more time goes by, the more serious the injury troubles and the greater the psychological pressure. In this process, it is really difficult to do without a little perseverance! For the players, it is the original intention that supports them after completing the competition and realizing their dreams!
The event lasts for 19 days, and there are unforgettable stories on the track every day. What stories are particularly unforgettable in ? What's especially impressive?
Sister Wei told us: 19 days, every day has stories. Everyone has gone from never knowing each other to kind greetings and conversations. On the way, we met many people who cheered and encouraged us. The cycling warriors, the construction compatriots, the roadside families who wash vegetables and do housework, rode motorcycles to deliver water to us, and a taxi driver drove to deliver supplies. At that time, I said I wanted to drink water, so he immediately drove the water and returned to give it to me. On the way, they borrowed their bathrooms, police station supermarkets or public security bureau bathrooms, and there were so many supplies to traveling groups along the way, and countless.
I was moved to cry many times on the way. My compatriots are so sincere. They are as good as those in the 1960s and 1970s here, and they are particularly well-educated!

Speaking of this, Sister Wei shared two short stories with us. One was a smoking contestant who ran to the opposite road to smoke in order not to get her intoxicated!
Another story is that two friends drove to her and gave her supplies, which was particularly touched.
About Teacher Shao, about competitions, about volunteers... Sister Wei also has many sharings: Teacher Shao of the organizing committee is really ingenious, Ms. Cai is responsible for everyone's food, clothing, housing and transportation, the referee, and volunteers. Although we are familiar with them for so many days, we still can't call their names. During this period, some of them celebrate their birthdays, and several couples celebrate Valentine's Day Teacher Shao arranged gifts or red envelopes. Each of us went to the supply station to know who drinks water and who drinks Coke and who eats supplies. We are so attentive! The three protective staff treat everyone every day and are very attentive!
Finally, because our muscle bonito in Sister Wei’s makeup photo shows us, I asked the regular question again, how did you feel about this muscle bonito experience? Will it help you?
Sister Wei said: Drinking muscle bonito and energy glue every day should be useful!
In fact, in Sister Wei’s circle of friends, there are two such passages that you can especially feel the difficulty of the competition and the excitement of the competition:
The eighth day of the competition. "I want to kiss this certificate. It makes me like an immature child. It makes me cry from 40 kilometers to the end. I agreed not to cry, but tears were not good. On the eighth day of entering Taiwan, the eighth game schedule, every journey was suffering, struggle, and even more joy! Along the way, I didn't post well on the circle, didn't sleep well, ate seafood that I had never eaten, drank fruit drinks that I had never drunk, saw the scenery, and met a group of god-like seniors who ran the circle like."
Sister Wei was glad that she could persevere, and was excited about her performance. At the same time, she was also grateful for all her encounters! And we were even more moved by her tenacity!
Congratulations to Wei Shujie again for successfully realizing his dream! Congratulations to Sister Wei for winning the first place!
