Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi-Chapter 302 - 247: First Across the Entire Stage
Next, Wang Ye and Li Weimin communicated for half an hour on the phone, explaining their ideas and key details to each other.
Li Weimin, as the manager of the Anta Branch, has been in the sports goods industry for decades, and has some expertise in the field of sports equipment design. During their communication, he occasionally offered Wang Ye suggestions, correcting errors in the design plans.
Li Weimin was also shocked by the novel ideas in the design plans.
He believed that the design might include some clever ideas that could change the current cycling world.
But at present, the theoretical aspects are still too abstract to be fully applied to mass production.
And Wang Ye is the first user of this new specially-designed bicycle.
After a brief discussion, they decided to name it—
[Polar 1.0]
After making the final decision, Wang Ye hung up the phone and pushed the damaged bike frame back to the warehouse.
He then locked the venue’s door and handed the key to Bright, who lived nearby.
Tomorrow is October 10th, the marathon start day.
After the race, he’ll have to return to the Cortes Sea, Mexico to prepare for the Life of Water challenge.
Therefore, today is likely his last time cycling here,
naturally he has to give the keys back to Bright.
Since Bright is also participating in the event tomorrow, he said goodbye to Wang Ye and headed back to his room, yawning for some rest.
Wang Ye returned to the hotel to continue practicing Innate Skill,
After evolving this month, his sleep time has further shortened to half an hour.
Now he just needs to rest for half an hour to fully recover his fatigued body and mind.
So now he’s practically training uninterruptedly for twenty-three hours a day. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
However, during the scheduled hotel rest time, he still practices Innate Skill in the hotel room.
This is so people around him don’t notice his overly irregular schedule.
As Wang Ye sat cross-legged on the bed, continuously practicing Breathing Technique with Primordial Qi.
Time flew by swiftly like a fleeting horse.
··························
··························
Time reached five o’clock in the morning the next day.
Wang Ye lay down and slept for half an hour, then got up to wash, put on the outfit and running shoes provided by Anta. The outfit had a prominent Anta logo, indicating that he was an athlete under Anta.
After putting on the outfit, he bounced up and down a bit to get used to it.
Because he had been training with a thousand-pound weight suit for the past half month, now without the weight suit, his body suddenly felt extraordinarily light, as if springs were installed in his feet, his jumping and propulsion power significantly increased. It felt as if a light jump could make him soar a few meters high.
The carbon plate shoes on his feet were also filled with elasticity, providing enough support and resilience.
This support allows each of his steps to generate a faint push, wearing carbon plate shoes in long-distance running can effectively save energy. Usually, a new pair of marathon carbon plate shoes needs to be worn for several months, to stomp the soles to a sufficiently relaxed resilience before starting the race, because at this time the carbon plate shoes have the strongest performance, with sufficient support and enough softness, preventing the feet from becoming overly fatigued. The carbon plate shoes under Wang Ye’s feet had been stomped sufficiently soft in his training over the past few days.
Even if it’s not soft enough, it’s not a big problem, after all, his current weight has exceeded one hundred and fifty kilograms, equivalent to three skinny marathon runners, his height is also over 190, standing among a group of marathon runners he looks like a little giant, such weight is the easiest to stomp open the soles, just slightly running a few dozen kilometers can stomp them open.
After Wang Ye was ready, Ah Gui and others next door also got up early, they held professional filming equipment, ready to shoot on site anytime.
Wang Ye greeted them, took the elevator downstairs, and got on the special car.
Ready to head to the venue located at Grant Park.
The Chicago Marathon’s starting position and end position are both at Grant Park on the shore of Lake Michigan. The hotel they stayed in was also very near Grant Park, about five minutes by car.
Since this is the starting point, for the safety of the participants, vehicles are not allowed, they can only walk inside.
After getting off the car, Wang Ye and others walked about two to three kilometers to reach the check-in point.
At this time, there were only thirty minutes left before the race started.
Wang Ye had undergone strict check-in and various physical exams before stepping into the starting area.
As the current number one in marathon, Wang Ye was naturally placed in the foremost starting area,
also standing here were many top marathon athletes such as Kipchoge, Bekele, Farah, Gebreselassie, Defar, and so on... most are black runners with reed-like bodies, rough skin, dim eyes, short stature—at least, relative to Wang Ye.
These top marathon athletes from around the world all stopped their warm-up exercises at the moment and curiously watched Wang Ye.
They seemed to want to find out from Wang Ye how he ran so fast.
But aside from Wang Ye’s strikingly abnormal height and weight, there were no other peculiar points on him.
