Originally, I didn't want to run at the rhythm of "breaking three" (the finish score was less than 3 hours), but I just wanted to feel the heavy horse's track at my own pace and run comfortably. But after I saw this "little golden man" (trophy), I was very moved, and then I thought that I must get it, so I ran according to the rhythm of "breaking three".

The heavy horse track is worthy of being a well-known track in China, and it is very easy to achieve results. Then, the main thing is to enjoy the process very much when running, because the volunteers on the side of the road are very powerful, and the audience is also very powerful, so if we run, we also enjoy the process very much.
