【Half Marathon】20161211 曾文水庫馬拉松

2016 34th ZengWen Reservoir Marathon

這是我的第三場路跑，也是第一次賽前利用跑步機增加跑量的賽事，報名時其實非常非常興奮接受跑山林的挑戰，因為我真的很愛雲霧繚繞，蓊鬱一片的大自然，但聽到去程將近7公里會是緩緩上坡到大壩，接著也是幾個更陡的上坡到折返點，我就又開始緊張了，因為我也沒有跑過山路啊，更別說陡坡了。不過換個角度想，後半段將會以下坡為主，回程應該會輕鬆許多。

的確，大部分的回程是輕鬆的。

當你又看到大壩，欣賞不同於去程日出不久時的煙波浩渺，回程是暖陽照耀的湖光粼粼，徜跑在這片山林水色真的是人生享受。

只是，最後的難關便是進入終點的陡上破，是全程最陡的上坡，自己覺得應該有200公尺。至此已經沒力到失去進終點要帥的原則，幸好入終點前是平坦的，我還是逼自己衝刺帥一波。

★ ★ ★ ★ ★  路跑就是訓練自己堅定到終點的信念， 不單只是練腿，而是練心。

Just start it and finish it. I think everything you dream is based on this passionate belief.

            If you dwell in Tainan and you like to run along the picturesque lake，you can't miss the ZengWen Reservoir Marathon.  What makes it well-known is not only     the amazing landscape of ZengWen Reservoir, but also the long gentle slopes you have to overcome. When I knew that there was a 12 kilometers roughly slope for   departure，I started to get extremely nervous because  I'd never run mountain path, much less running uphill.  I still took a more optimistic view since  it meant that I would run downhill easily when returning.  Indeed, it was easy for the runners in most part of returning.  However, the most uphill challenage was the steep slope heading to finishing line.  I guessed it would be 200 meters at least.

  " 2 minutes later, it would be finished，" I told myself. 

   I had to finished the race with dashing spirit so I tried my best to rush through the finishing line. Finally, I was highly excited that I not only finished my third half marathon but I got a not bad group ranking. Number 10 in group ranking came as a surprise to me and that did motivate me to sign up for next marathon.
