Chen Yanbo was injured and completed the 338.6-kilometer, five-day and four-night TDG Giant Tour non-stop.
Chen Yanbo was injured and completed the 20 17 Italian TDG Giant Tour Cross Country Race. Chen Yanbo/provides almost endless, micro-sleep and fatigue accumulation. Phantom and auditory hallucination appear alternately on the track, which is full of dangers. Chen Yanbo recalled: "The next day, because I didn't sleep for more than 30 hours, I began to have hallucinations and auditory hallucinations; At first, I thought there was a contestant in front of me in the dark, so I greeted him and approached, but when I looked closely, I was shocked. It turned out that I had been talking to the tree! When I am very tired in continuous races, I am very happy to see the dog approaching with its tail wagging. I want to touch it and find it is a big stone. There are also sweet songs in the clouds, but when you think about it carefully, it's already past three in the middle of the night. I was at the top of the mountain at high altitude, and there were no other players. Why is there a song around me? ? Chatting with other players after the game, I found that many players encounter the same auditory hallucinations and hallucinations. Because of lack of sleep and excessive fatigue, hallucinations are very common symptoms. Although it is an interesting story afterwards, the next dream will really scare me. A few years ago, a player fell and hit his head because of fatigue, and eventually died after being rescued ... After this personal challenge, I deeply realized how difficult and fantastic the giant's journey was. 」
Chen Yanbo explained the situation of the track. Chen Yanbo/provided that his left knee ligament was torn due to a fall, and he gritted his teeth138km. Seeing the team member fall into the valley, his willpower was instantly destroyed. "When the race distance accumulated to more than 200 kilometers and only the last third of the race was left, one of them fell down because of the scattered boulders on the mountain road, and his left knee directly hit the hard marble block, and his clothes were worn out, his hands and feet were bleeding, and the biting pain reached his forehead. Chen Yanbo was unfortunately injured after insisting on more than 200 kilometers, and the game was even more difficult. " When I climbed the last hill, the instantaneous low temperature mixed with wind and rain turned into a snowstorm. I can't help shivering, but I dare not stop to wear warm clothes at all. I'm afraid I will lose my temperature as soon as I stop. I bit the neckline of my raincoat with my teeth to prevent the snow from infiltrating, survived the last hill and finally entered the final track. This section of the road is extremely rugged, and the snow melts because of the sunlight, making the track more slippery and difficult to walk. After the left foot fell, I almost used my right foot to exert my strength and could hardly move. Every step is unbearable. The last remaining 65,438+05km race is about to reach the finish line. Just when I was very tired and my willpower was almost exhausted, I witnessed a player in front suddenly slip, and then there was a scream and a cry for help from the valley. When I approached, the rescuers had already arrived from. The rescue helicopter took him away immediately within 10 minutes. This scene seriously destroyed my willpower. My lips trembled and I asked myself: Can I really finish the race? Can such feet still walk? Will I be the next person who needs help? ? Let me take every step of the downhill with fear and concern ... Tell myself: I can't give up! ! The finish line is just ahead! 」
Chen Yanbo shared the joys and sorrows of the game. Chen Yanbo/provided treatment and diagnosis of bleb overlapping, immune disorder and herpes zoster for the left knee ligament laceration 106 hours. During the competition, my body had to endure rapid cooling, and the food nutrition and calories were not enough for five days, which led to lower and lower blood sugar, dizziness, hypothermia and chills, and constant warning of various diseases ... After all this finally reached the end, when I took off my equipment and running shoes, I saw nearly ten blisters and blood blisters on my soles, and my tongue had a row of herpes because of immune disorder, and I felt bitter when eating. After returning to Taiwan, Yanbo immediately went to the Sports Medicine Center of Singh Hospital and asked the doctor to examine his injured left foot. The diagnosis showed that his ligament had been severely torn, and the doctor even thought it incredible that Yanbo could finish the last 138 km with a tear. Yan Bo said, "In fact, I really didn't think so much at that time, just wanted to finish the game. The 338.6-kilometer TDG Giant Tour is really abusive, not only physically, but also psychologically. But the strength of Mother Earth gave me courage, which enabled me to successfully complete this great journey again and conquer my fears. 」
Chen Yanbo displays numbered cloth and commemorative cowbells. The team participated in the TDG Giants Tour and is looking forward to hosting international events in Taiwan Province Province in the future. Chen Yanbo said: "As the photographers who cooperated regularly could not take part in the filming of this event, two partners of the team went to Italy to participate in the TDG event. One is my supply staff, and the other is to assist in video recording; During the competition, I carefully observed the planning and arrangement of the activities of the conference, and also noticed the high recognition and participation of the residents in the town and the humanistic strength closely condensed with this activity. The congress and residents have given heartfelt enthusiasm and encouragement to every player, which I have never participated in so many international competitions. I'm envious, too, which makes me look forward to some day in the future. I can also hold an international competition in this land where I was born and raised, and the temperature can touch you and me. 」
Chen Yanbo took a group photo with his long-term sponsors. The support and encouragement of the team and friends helped Yanbo survive the last mile. Four other athletes from Taiwan Province Province participated in the same competition, including Lu Mingzhu, a famous long-distance runner. Chen Yanbo said that this non-stop cross-country race is very different from the polar super Marseille he participated in before. In addition to finishing the race in one breath, some runners can chat in Mandarin when they meet. Although the team can only wait for him at the supply station, they feel full of care every time they enter the station, especially when their friend Ruth Croft came from France to cheer for him, which became the key for him to bite his teeth and survive the last mile.
