Su Mian was still on the outermost track. She was now immersed in her own world, unable to hear any sounds from outside at all. She had never participated in the 200 metre race before and it could be said that she had no experience. Although she had observed Yang Qian’s speed control closely just now, it was very clear that Yan Qian’s stamina was indeed strong and she maintained the same speed throughout the whole race.
Su Mian could not do that. She had tried in the last race but she was not the kind of runner who could run at a uniform speed. She had discovered that she still had enough energy after the final sprint in the second half, but she hit a slump in the middle part after 60 metres. Moreover, she had accelerated at 150 metres last time and she had obviously accelerated too late.
Su Mian quickly calculated in her heart and adjusted her plan.
The gunshot sounded with a bang.
Eight people charged forward. From the previous race, the people in this group had a clearer understanding of each other’s strengths.
Especially for the seeded runners who had disregarded Su Mian as a competitor at the beginning. Now they were all keeping an eye on Su Mian.
The 200 metre preliminary race began and these people showed the energy of running a 100 metre race!
Su Mian was in no hurry and kept her own pace. Her shortcoming was after 60 metres. She gritted her teeth and persevered.
The opponents passed her and she ignored them all.
“Hey! Su Mian, come on!” Guo Lei was anxious. Su Mian had already fallen behind and was not sixth. If this continued, would she be able to catch up after a while?
Hao Dong Min did not say anything and stared at Su Mian unblinkingly. This time, Su Mian’s running was evidently calmer than before. This girl was definitely waiting to counterattack at the end.
Sure enough, after 120 metres, Su Mian began to accelerate and just like last time, she chased them all the way.
Su Mian’s feet were like the wind as she overtook opponents one by one. In fact, she was still holding back. After all, the finals were tomorrow so she was just following the first place for now.
“Oh my god! Surely I’m not seeing it wrong, Su Mian is second!” Guo Lei had been standing at the finish line the entire time and he had the best spot.
Hao Dong Min chuckled and patted Guo Lei who was going crazy from laughter, “ You’re not seeing it wrong.”
When Su Mian returned to her class position, the students all saw her in a different light. They joked about how with four to five seeded runners, she had fought her way out and entered the finals. This was definitely a great ability.
At the 100 metre preliminaries in the afternoon, Su Mian did not have strong opponents and advanced to the finals easily. Zhang Yan Jie, who had always been well considered, was selected as second place.
Guo Lei was happy and pulling Hao Dong Min, he chattered endlessly, “Class representative, we have hope for this year’s championship!”
Hao Dong Min was not as optimistic as him, “How are you looking at it, Yang Qian is still saving her strength!”
“Su Mian has entered both finals! Zhang Yan Jie is still second in the 100 metres.”
“You have to get points. It’s useless to get into the finals if you don’t get points.” Hao Dong Min’s reasoning extinguished Guo Lei’s excitement. Seeing him downcast, he comforted him, “Don’t be discouraged, maybe Yang Qian will under-perform!”
“Come on.” Guo Lei put on his clothes and left. Instead of hoping that Yang Qian would under-perform, it would be better to hope for Zhang Yan Jie to perform superbly.
For dinner, Su Mian had an extra serving and actually ate all of it.
Liu Xiao Hui was stunned, “Su Mian, you’ve eaten so much this time, are you full? If not, I still have some.”
“Xiao Hui, you were right, sprinters really are donkeys!” Su Mian felt that it was fortunate that she had 85 physical points, otherwise it would be hopeless no matter how much food she ate.
Su Mian was physically exhausted today but she was far from her limit. Not to mention, she had been exercising every day for the past few months.
However, she still felt very tired and just wanted a good night’s sleep.
