last Sunday, in the bustling horse race on the hang Ma race, there was a Hangzhou girl called Zhang Smelling Czechoslovakia. Although this is the second time she ran the Hangzhou horse, she has completed the six marathon of the World Marathon.
"two years ago, when I first started running, I thought it would be great if I completed the Grand Slam at the age of 40. Unexpectedly, in April second, I started a grand slam tour, and it took only 17 months to complete it. Although my grades are not very good, at least I have persevered. I have been satisfied with these experiences. 85 later Hangzhou girl Zhang Wen Jie has just completed the last stop of the Berlin marathon at the end of the World Marathon Grand Slam at the end of September.
before the Grand Slam open journey,
she only ran a hang Ma half horse
from childhood, Zhang Wenjie is the sports player in the class. In 2007, Zhang Wenjie went to Boston Northeast University to study abroad. "When I got there, I found out that running performance in the past was nothing at all here." So, under the guidance of the American classmates and teachers who love sports, she began to work out and run, and began to contact the marathon.
now, the World Marathon Grand Slam includes the Boston marathon, London Marathon, Berlin marathon, Chicago marathon, New York marathon, and Tokyo marathon. "In September 25th this year, I finally completed a grand slam tour in Berlin." Zhang Wenjie said, "although there is no proud achievement, but I know so many friends, many have become my 'horse running honey', this is the greatest charm of marathon."
in fact, before signing up for his first Grand Slam marathon of the Grand Slam, Zhang Wenjie only ran a horse once and half a horse. "Do not put too much emphasis on achievements, but stick to it is success". That is the original driving force for her brave stride in the Grand Slam.
your chosen horse is crying and running
in May next year at Mount Everest running horses to
Boston is the first stop of Zhang Wenjie's Grand Slam, she said, choosing Boston as the starting point, mainly because he had spent four years of studying there. However, with full confidence in signing up, he did not work very hard. Zhang Wenjie suffered hardships on the runway of the first Grand Slam.
"it was in April 21st last year, Boston was so cold, and not yet half of it began to rain." Zhang Wenjie smiled and said, at that time, only one of Andy Lau's ice rain was in his mind: "cold rain and rain on the face." The scenery on the way could not look at it. "What is the shrieking tunnel of Wesley women's college or any broken slope, I can't take care of it, the only thing I want to know is how far that end is the end of the end?" In the end, Zhang Wenjie ran away with her friends, who had no sweat, only 42 kilometers and 195 meters of rain and tears, which took 5 hours and 38 minutes.
went through the first stop, and then 5 stations were ready to run, and the best score was 4 hours and 48 points at the London Marathon.
What are you going to do next? "Next May, run a Mount Everest marathon!" Zhang Wenjie answered very crisp. Tenzing Hilary and the Mount Everest marathon are the highest marathons in the world. If you want to run horses at the top of the world, you have to walk from Nepal for 13 days to the base camp of Mount Everest. No wonder many people say that when you climb the main camp on the south slope of 5362 meters above sea level, you will win at the start of the competition. Then, running back along the road is a great challenge to both the body and the mind. Zhang Wenjie said: "the training plan is being worked out, and I am always ready."
150 thousand yuan
the money is mostly used to run horses to
last year, Zhang Wenjie took part in 7 marathons, Wuxi half horse, Zheng Kaiquan horse, Jiaxing half horse, Jiaxing half horse, Beijing whole horse, Chicago whole horse and New York all horse. So far this year, she has taken part in Tokyo's whole horse, London full horse, Berlin full horse and Hangzhou full horse. Besides horse racing enthusiasts, Zhang Wenjie's other status is marketing vice president of Hai Yin fortune (Xiaoshan) Management Co., Ltd. "The annual salary is about 200000 yuan, but I am meaner in beer and skittles, and the money I earn is basically spent on horse racing." Zhang Wenjie said with a smile.
"last year's Boston marathon, only the registration fee was more than 30 thousand yuan, and it cost nearly 100 thousand yuan for a match. The cost of Chicago and New York marathon is slightly less, about 40 thousand yuan each time. Why is the registration fee so expensive? Zhang Wenjie said, that is because their performance has not reached the standard, and can only take the charity channel. If the achievement is up to standard, the registration fee is about 400 dollars. However, it is not easy to achieve the target. The 18~34 age female is 3 hours and 35 points, and the male is 3 hours and 05 minutes. It is understood that this year's Boston marathon charity channel costs about 50 thousand yuan.
Zhang Wenjie gave the reporter an account. Registration fees, round-trip air tickets, three days accommodation and other basic consumption together, running a marathon Grand Slam requires about 150 thousand yuan. "This cost can be said to be the lowest configuration, if the lodging is higher, the stay is longer, the business class is needed back and forth, and some high-end equipment will be bought, which is far more than 150 thousand yuan."
"in order to achieve the Grand Slam wish, I got the money." Performance is not important, it is the kind of rare experience involved, because these cities show you the best of them. Zhang Wenjie felt that the money was worth more than anything.
