A visit to Dalian
The time has passed, and when looking to sign up for my first marathon back in 2017, I was planning to run the Dalian Marathon (later referred to as the DAMA). I didn't expect to win the Qinhuangdao Marathon, so the plan to go to Dalian was put on hold.2018 to register for the Dalian Marathon, and there is no doubt about winning the registration, the report is not satisfied with the Dalian Marathon never have to worry about whether to win the registration, because as long as the registration is to sign up is the registration success. In 2018, because of something, again did not go into. Beautiful seaside city, two consecutive years lost. It made my desire to go run the Grand Prix in 2019 stronger and stronger, and I am always watching the Grand Prix. This time everything went well, registration, winning, pre-race preparation, and traveling to Dalian.

Zone A Runners
As of the time of participating in the Great Marathon, counting from my first marathon (Qinhuangdao Marathon on May 12, 2017), it has been exactly two years since I participated in a marathon. The size of the regular race 10, which does not include the usual full-marathon, half-marathon, as well as running Beijing's second, third, fourth and fifth ring, several subway lines and other running. The full-marathon time has improved from 05:08:42 to 03:23:34, and has reached the 330 mark. Such a big progress in two years can not be separated from the day-to-day persistent training. The persistence of sweating on the day of three volts, the self-discipline on the day of nine days in the snow and ice. This is what I always down to earth and self-disciplined me.
Admittedly, as mentioned above, ran into the 330 mark, with the 03:23:34 time to enroll in the big horse. When I got the horse parameter number book, A1M0848, the start of the start I stood in the A area. Finally is the A area runners, ran a marathon race know, from the starting line to the back of the arrangement of the partition, in the front of the elite area, that is, professional marathon runners or amateur in the strength of the generals. Then there are the A zone runners, generally the PB of the A zone runners should be within 330 (three and a half hours). Then it is based on the results of the player registration in order to arrange the partition, B area, C area, D area ......
Having started at the front in Zone A, there is no longer any need to worry about a course that is so crowded at the start. Because of the 2018.9.16 Beijing Marathon, I was starting from the E area, tens of thousands of people in the marathon, in so wide Chang'an Street, still seems a little crowded. In order not to slow down because of the crowd, I kept saying, "Excuse me, thank you" to the runners in front of me along the way! I met one and said, "Excuse me, thank you"! Straight track, if you look down, I was like a snake speed line, into the S-shaped in the interspersed running. That the whole of the North Horse down estimates than others to run a number of kilometers, and finally I 03:49:04 to complete the race. When I crossed the finish line, I was basically surrounded by runners from A and B, and I heard someone pointing at me and saying, "Look at all the E runners crossing the line. Hahaha, I had a great time running that race. (The course of the race will be updated later on)

See the seagulls
This year's horse is the 32nd, in the domestic marathon, Dalian held a marathon is considered an early city, should be second only to Beijing. But from the point of view of this participation in the Grand Marathon, the experience of the event is far from being like a city that has already organized 32 sessions of the race. There are not many sponsors in the expo, of course, more or less experience the joy of woolgathering, so the expo did not stroll long we left.
From the Dalian International Convention Center you can see the sea. We strolled along the beach and saw a number of European-style buildings.
The best thing I saw was the seagulls, it was the first time I saw them so close.
A flock of seagulls on the beach, sometimes gliding up, sometimes swooping down to the surface, sometimes stay on the shore, sometimes through the crowd ...... There are stalls selling seagull food on the beach, and many people take the food and feed it to the seagulls. Some people throw the food into the air, then a group of seagulls agile in the air to earn food; some people put the food sprinkled on the ground, but also in the air flying seagulls immediately found the target, "quick" a rush down, not long to eat a clean; there are people on the ground seagulls did not finish the food picked up and thrown to the seagulls to eat again.
The endless sea, in front of this group of seagulls, such a view let me linger. So much so that after running the race can not forget, in 5.13 days to write the following song "watching the sea".
"Sea Watch"
-through the stone-
The mountains are green and the water is blue, and the sky is colorful, and the clouds and smoke surround the end of the world.
The seagulls were startled by the joyful walks of the men who were searching for a place to walk.

Then we went to the Xinghai Square, which is considered to be the largest square in Dalian, right? It is also in the sea, of course, there is no shortage of seagulls. In front of Xinghai Square is the Xinghai Bay Bridge. The sea breeze blew frequently, seagulls soaring since, the people on the beach are leisurely to participate in their own party, there are singing, dancing, playing musical instruments, of course, there are also running on the beach .......
On the beach near Xinghai Plaza, we saw several seafood pickers, basically catching Peppermint shrimp, and of course my first time catching a live Peppermint shrimp. Hahaha, forgive me for this inland who has never caught a peeled shrimp.
No Xinghai Square did not dare to stay long, we went to the next stop Dalian University of Technology. Go to the local university to take a look, this is also my travel must stroll place. In fact, I want to make up for some of the regret of the student era, so every place, as long as the time allows, I will go to the local more well-known university campus to take a look, of course, will not let go of the Dalian University of Technology such a university. What's more, Dalian University of Technology is also one of the intentions of my college entrance examination volunteers, but unfortunately did not get in.
The Dalian University of Technology campus is undulating, which is a bit like the campus road of Chongqing Post and Telecommunications. The campus is very clean, the architectural style did not see what is special, because it is almost dark, we are only a corner of the campus to stroll it! I don't have the courage to sneak around more, because tomorrow we have to compete, so it's a pleasant end of the day's journey.

Running at will, running at will
This time, I'm just here to have fun. I didn't plan on setting a new PB, so I was quite comfortable running. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it, and I'm sure I'll be able to do it. My friend's goal is to run 430, and I have no doubt that I can finish this race, and it will be a breeze. So it's just a matter of feeling the beauty of the track and running like a Buddhist all the way.
I started in the A zone and my friend started in the back zone. We agreed that I would wait at the 5km feeder and then finish the race together. Luckily, I was able to finish the race in 04:19:44.
The start and finish of the Grand Prix is at the Dalian International Convention Center. From the start to Xinghai Square, the track experience is very good, there are many people, and not too sunny. Especially when it comes to the Xinghai Square turnback point, the crowd watching the race in Xinghai Square is very lively. After leaving Xinghai Plaza, I followed Wusi Road and turned back to the direction of the International Convention Center. In the second half of the race, we went back and forth in the Donggang Business District, which is probably a new downtown area of Dalian. There were almost no trees on the roadside, and there were not many people cheering on the side of the race track, so the experience of this section of the race track was rather poor. We ran to more than 30 kilometers, all the way to the sun, almost to every supply point is immediately replenished water, to ensure that we can be safe and smooth completion of the race.
At the start, the citizens who were cheering next to the track had national flags in their hands, and some had the Grand Prix flag in their hands. I asked for a flag and the flag of the race from these people, and held them in my hands for the whole race.

Easy Finish
I was in good shape and didn't set a goal before the race, so it was a free and easy finish. It was the easiest race I've done so far! The previous races were all about safety first, running as hard as you can, and going all out to challenge yourself. This is also the first time that I deliberately set up such a finishing strategy before the race, because the running day is still long, there are still many marathon races, and there are plenty of chances to refresh the PB, not just overnight. This kind of experience is a different kind of feeling, the race should be relaxed when relaxing to play, the time to work hard PB on PB.
No matter when, always have to run the love of running, to the marathon fear, and always keep in mind that the original heart of their own running, healthy and happy to run through life, is the winner. Never forget the beginning, never stop.

It's been a long time
At the end of the finish line, I unexpectedly met a friend I hadn't seen in a long time. We knew each other would be at the race before we left for Dalian, but we didn't get to meet up before the race as we had hoped, so we didn't expect to see each other at the finish line. 16 years ago, we met in Beijing, and then he came to Dalian for development, so we haven't seen each other for more than 3 years. I met him in Beijing in 16 years, and then he came to Dalian for development, so I haven't seen him for more than 3 years. We had a short chat about each other's development over the years and our running experiences, but we didn't have a long talk and waved goodbye. But we agreed to get together again for the next race.
Because of the running, friends and runners, a long time no see, instantly open the dusty time box, bearing the growth of the sweet and sour. To this day, like this friend gradually more and more. A word of track see, is each other's agreement.

Eighteen plate
Eighteen plate, how can I miss this planned tour place! The next time when to come back to Dalian is still unknown. What I didn't expect was to climb it after I ran the full marathon. After running the race in the morning, the noon supply ate lunch, showered and changed their clothes to go to the eighteen plate alone.
Eighteen disk, the road up the mountain is really the mountain road eighteen bends. There is a trestle on the mountain, which is said to be the longest trestle in China. Along the trestle I effortlessly climbed to the top of the mountain. This also fully explains that I did finish the race easily in the morning, otherwise I would still have the strength to climb the mountain. The cliffs on both sides of the Eighteen Plate Mountain Road are carved and fitted with the shapes of various undersea creatures, some of which are undersea animals and plants that I've never seen before. This design is very special, I have visited the mountains in the more impressive, a little like the Taishan mountain road side of the stone carvings. However, this eighteen disk can not compare to the fame of Taishan as well as the cultural heritage.
On the top of the mountain, overlooking the sea again, suddenly remembered Cao Cao's song "Canghai", "the water is tantalizing, the mountains and islands stand on tiptoe. The trees are overgrown, and the grass is abundant. "It's very fitting. Looking into the distance, some people were pointing at an island and saying, "Look, that's Bangchui Island". I then checked the map, and it really was Bangchui Island. The shape of the island is also like a mallet.
Because of the time, I didn't dare to stay on the mountain for long, and didn't continue to climb to the back of the mountain, I was ready to go down the mountain, because I had to catch the train back to Beijing in the evening.
The season is already in full swing, and at the top of the 18-panel mountain, I accidentally saw that there are still acacia flowers and other spring flavors. After returning to Beijing, I once again recalled the scenery of the eighteen pan, and wrote the following song "eighteen pan".
The Eighteen Plates
- Through the stone -
The sea breeze often sends the southern spring, the pavilion acacia flowers pink face to welcome.
The masonry is busy flying under the red sky, inviting the spring to stay in the shadow of hundreds of flowers.

总结
In the opinion of many people, it is difficult to understand a runner, and it is even more difficult to understand the money spent on going to another city from all the way to another city, just to run a race.
Running is boring, tedious, and sometimes exhausting. Running a marathon is even more abusive. In fact, when you do something alone quietly and seriously, you want to do a long time and do a good job, that he is both boring and boring and very tired thing, not only running this thing.
In fact, the biggest obstacle is not both boring and boring and very tired thing, but your heart can not withstand the lonely grind. Maybe you're not that kind of person, but enduring loneliness is the only way to keep the prosperity.
Today's atmosphere of impatience, more and more people are very difficult to be quiet to do a thing, especially to do academic research, do scientific research. Running, on the contrary, it is with running so tedious grinding, day after day to adhere to, and slowly will train you tough quality, such an experience only run through the people will understand it!
After running a marathon you realize that the difference between people and people may lie in thinking and doing. If you don't try, you will never know how good you are.
May running accompany me all my life, healthy and always run in their favorite track. Never forget the beginning, never stop.
Well! Just write here!
Please! Shout out to me! Runner!
