Industry insiders: because the master rushed farther, so the loss of heavy
A runner “stray south “The more you climb up, the more wind, the more rain, the lower the temperature, the lower the body temperature. As he was climbing up, he saw the first runner who went down from above, said it was too cold up there, couldn’t stand it and withdrew from the race. “The first time I was thinking what: just give up the 1,600? Then every time I read about it, I wanted to smoke myself. Continue to climb up, one by one, several more runners came down. Including a very big God player. And my situation, getting worse and worse. The whole body has been wet, including shoes and socks all wet, the wind can not stand, very worried about being blown down, the cold more and more unbearable, looking for a relatively sheltered place to pull out the insulation blanket, wrapped in the body, instantly blown away by the wind, nothing useful. There are players’ insulation blankets, directly torn by the gale. “” South of the river” found ten fingers have no feeling, the tongue is also cold. This moment, he decided to withdraw from the race, down the mountain. This decision saved him.
But there are more people met with misfortune.
An industry insider said: this freezing death are masters. First, the marathon masters are pursuing lightweight, so usually do not bring warm clothing such as assault jackets, betting on good weather. Unfortunately, this time did not bet on winning. Second, the masters advance farther, higher, colder, more difficult to withdraw, but also more difficult to be searched and rescued. Super long-distance trail running generally rarely wears a punching bag. The basic are shorts and short sleeves, a small bag. But the race mandatory mandatory equipment will have insulation blanket. It is the kind of very thin aluminum foil blanket. This time the extreme climate is too bad, are blown to the rotten.
Veteran runner: if not accompanied by a friend, I may also rush up
Chengdu’s Mao is a senior runner, he contacted the marathon in 2015, 6 years of time to participate in more than 90 full horse race, cross-country running events also participated in forty to fifty. The Yellow River Stone Forest Mountain Marathon 100 km cross-country race is her first time to participate in the evening of May 22, she connected safely back to Chengdu. the morning of May 23, in an interview with reporters, she said: this is the world’s largest accident marathon cross-country race, now think about it still have palpitations.
At the beginning of the race when the wind is very strong, yesterday the weather forecast also said the whole day there is a little rain, the temperature 7 to 15 degrees. After the start of the run, many people are hat and glasses were blown everywhere, I took off my hat and put it on my hand, I did not dare to wear it. The first stage was a long downhill of two to three kilometers, and the course belonged to the 22 turns of the Yellow River scenic area. After the descent is a long gentle road, and then to CP2 to CP3 began to climb, this is the most difficult section of the race, very steep.
The temperature at the time of departure was okay, and it was a little sunny in the morning, and I said the weather forecast was not accurate. At that time, I was thinking that the daytime temperature was very comfortable, about 15 degrees for running, so I wore short-sleeved skirts, but also brought long pants and fleece jacket, thinking of climbing to the mountain cold on the wear can.
We started raining from CP1 to CP2. Yesterday I had a special reason to accompany a 69-year-old friend to run, so I ran very slowly, basically in the last few of the 172 people. The faster runners were climbing the mountain when it started raining and some of them were already halfway up the mountain by then. This time the wind and rain, I already felt very cold.
After CP1 the rain and wind was getting bigger and bigger, I was afraid of the rain, before some friends also told me that the rain in the northwest would stop after a while, I was not afraid, so I continued to run. But the rain is getting bigger and bigger, so big that the brim of my hat began to drip rain, I felt some fear. At that time, I was convinced that the rain would stop or continue to run, but then I felt that the gale would blow people down, and one of my teammates caught up with me and asked me: it was raining so hard, should we retreat? “I can’t stand the cold. “This runner was taking video of me with his hands freezing and shivering.
CP2 is 11:30 closing time, when it was not yet closing time, just after 11:00, I wanted to rush to CP2 to withdraw from the race, because I still have to accompany an elderly runner, after CP2 immediately to go up the mountain, I know that for every 1000 meters of elevation gain, the temperature should drop 6 degrees. At that time, the body temperature was only six or seven degrees, so wouldn’t it be only zero degrees on the mountain?
I put on my warm clothes when it was cold, but it was useless, the rain soon made my whole body wet, and my socks were soaking wet, so I couldn’t keep warm. At this time, the ground also began to accumulate water, I was thinking that I decided to withdraw from the race, do not want to run, run down the mountain is also very dangerous. I thought I was coming to the north for the sun, not to get wet.
At that time in CP2, there was a car parked there, so they sent us back to the hotel safely. The three of us were the first ones to leave the race at that time, before 12 o’clock.
After we retired from the race, we regretted a bit, because the rain had diminished and the weather was better. When we arrived at the hotel, the three of us took a shower and looked at our phones and found that the group had exploded, and many people were shouting for help. We have been paying attention to the news in the group, the heart is particularly difficult.
At that time I was thinking that if I did not accompany my older friend, not afraid of the rain, I may also rush up.
