Coming back from Shapo, my cold that had been getting better has revived. The altitude of Qujiang is low and the temperature is high, and the altitude of Xiaobao Mountain is low and the temperature is low, this cold and hot makes my runny nose become dizzy and sore throat.
I went to the health team to see a doctor, and the doctor said, "My throat is inflamed, I have a low-grade fever, go back and drink more water and rest." "The military doctor gave me an injection of analgin, and I dragged my tired body back to the guest house.
As the saying goes: blessings are not double, and disasters are not one-way. There is some philosophical truth in this statement. The next day, I was training on the playground, because I was sore, I didn't prepare for the activity, and I used too much force when I started with Liu Guowang and Lu Limin, and I sprained my waist together.
Liu Guowang said: "Maybe the waist muscle is strained, go back and rest, and practice again tomorrow when you are better." ”
I bent over and walked back, acting like an old man in my seventies and eighties, as depressed as I could be. What a critical time this is, but at this juncture, I twisted my waist, what a disaster!
The next day, the pain in my lower back was even more intense, and it was very difficult to turn over, and even tying my shoes became an insurmountable gap. I encouraged myself to get up and train, because if I chose to stay on bed at this point, it would be all over.
I remember when I was in the Beijing team, once I sprained my ankle and limped to keep up with the team when I ran cross-country, I applied to the coach for a solo jog, and Coach Qian Wanhui said: "What is an ankle sprain? ”

I thought he was going to use his bicycle to support me for a while, but the coach tied my hands to the back seat and dragged me to catch up with my teammates in front of me. Now no one forces me to train, but I force myself to stand up and exercise, maybe I understand the truth that the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold!
I finally got dressed, and going to the toilet was the biggest trouble I encountered. The toilets of the troops are basically a large deep ditch, on which are covered with a few logs or planks, and the spacing of the pits is wide and large, so I don't feel any difficulties on weekdays, but today I can't make up my waist, and I feel as difficult as crossing a trench when I step over a thatched pit. After solving the "battle" and cleaning up the "battlefield", it is another pain that cannot be described in words.
When I went out to run cross-country, my movements were seriously deformed, but as Coach Qian said, I didn't feel pain when I started the activity.
I played in the 808 detachment for two days, and after coming back, I had a cold and fever, and now my waist is still sprained, and now I am like a clumsy duck racing with two tigers, and my speed has completely failed to keep up with the rhythm of Quan Yinghe and Li Zhenjun, which is the most painful training session since I started training. The cruel reality tells me that I must hurry up to recover my body, otherwise I will lose face in front of the officers and men of the base.
Judging from the current situation, I have to make a decision immediately, I have to train in a targeted manner, and I can't take all the, which will lose everything. The 400-meter race is about speed, and the distance is short and the waist is less painful, so it is easy to complete. The 5000-meter race involves a lot of energy, a lot of training, and a lot of uncertainty, even if it is an amateur, as long as there is endurance and willing to fight, it is common for big upsets to happen.
At present, the momentum of Li Zhenjun and Quan Yinghe is like a tiger descending from the mountain, and it is difficult to predict what amazing moves will occur on the field. Let's leave the brutal self-fighting to the two of them, starting from tomorrow, I will focus on field training, target my weak points, and make sure that the 400m championship is firmly in hand.

The basketball team that went out to Qujiang returned victoriously, they achieved five games, four wins and one loss, and advanced to the finals, they will advance to Kunming with the large army, the opponent of the final is the 304 Engineer Regiment, which is the first team of the 802 training team to win the top two, the victory of the basketball team, inspired the entire 802 team.
As the date of the base games approached, Political Commissar Zhao once again invited the training team to the party committee conference room for a meeting to inquire about the preparation of each team.
"There are only seven days left until the date of the competition, how are you preparing, and are there any problems that the detachment needs to help solve?"
I said, "Commissar, we should go to Kunming in advance to get used to the venue, so it's very important for the game." In addition, sprinters should be bought running shoes, and without running shoes, they will lose at least two seconds to their opponents when racing on the slag track. ”
Political Commissar Zhao acted vigorously and resolutely, and immediately made a decision, "Director Xie, you immediately solve the problem of running shoes." Also, contact the base again to see if you can check in early. ”
I am very happy that all my suggestions have been adopted.
Political Commissar Zhao finally said: "Today's meeting, even if I give you the final battle mobilization, I hope that when you arrive at the base field, you will all be brave, everyone will strive to be the first, and carry forward the brave and tenacious fighting style of the 802 detachment." I still say that those who have achieved outstanding results for the detachment should make meritorious contributions after they come back, and they should join the party and join the party! Xiao Li, how are your preparations for the 5-kilometer cross-country race? The detachment has great expectations for you, and hopes that you will definitely win the championship and win glory for the detachment. All the officers and men of our 802 detachment hope to hear the good news of your victory at the first time. ”
I was very moved by the political commissar's expectations for me, but my current physical condition made me dare not pat my chest and give the political commissar a satisfactory answer. I hesitated for a long time, and when I arrived, I didn't say a word that made the political commissar happy. For this reason, I hate myself to death, and I drop the chain when it comes to a critical moment, and every time I participate in a competition, it doesn't go well.
Walking out of the conference room, I silently swore in my heart: This is the first time I represent the detachment in the competition, as long as I get on the runway, I will break my waist, and I can't embarrass the detachment, and I must win glory for the detachment!
