jinji lake half marathon ten year event ten years unchanged
Jinji Lake
Keep moving forward, just like this
A race that hasn't started yet
Thinking about how to 'play' the half marathon
Running
Always on the road
Clearly so painful, so difficult,
Why can't I give up running?
Because every cell in my body is eager,
Wanting to feel the strong wind blowing against my face.
— 'The Wind Rises'
Stop
My running volume
Stop,
Just to run farther!
A memorable quote:
Speed is not the only criterion for judging a marathon runner. As a marathon runner, it can be about passion, focus, patience, and balancing your life through this sport, not just about speed.
Prologue
Do you remember the shores of Jinji Lake in 2018?
It's that time of year for the Jinji Lake Marathon again,
Eat, drink, run, and enjoy the race~
Playing the race
Ten years of Jinji Lake Marathon, this year's medal is modeled after the Ganjiang and Moye swords, symbolizing the beauty of 'ten years to sharpen a sword.' How many people signed up just for this medal? And the kilometer-long food corridor, in 2019 by the shores of Jinji Lake, let's enjoy the race again!
We didn't register at the same time, but we got consecutive numbers! That's how our Jinji Lake half marathon started!
Slowing down, you can discover different scenery. The leisure in the lens actually hides the shivering cold. The legendary kilometer-long food corridor only had some leftovers and empty plates. Water and sports drinks chilled you to the bone.
The blue T-shirt of the Hong Kong Marathon was an absolute success in stealing the spotlight. The same hook running shoes, everything was just for a sense of ceremony. It's this simple joy, the three of us running together, continuing to run!
Hand in hand, crossing the finish line together,
2 hours and 34 minutes to play the Jinji Lake half marathon
Just to find my own goal and pace, enjoying the run!
It's great to have you on the marathon road!
Having hotpot after the run is a must. I can't explain why, but hotpot just seems to go best with a marathon. No worries about awkward silences, everything can be cooked together, steaming hot, chatting and laughing, easy and relaxed.
The current slowness is for a better speed in the future. Without the current slowness,
It would be impossible to achieve lasting and stable speed in the future.
Every year at Jinji Lake, I leave my PW. Actually, being able to easily go up and down stairs after the run is the real (end) point!
A perfect end to a day trip in Suzhou! Everyone says this year's Jinji Lake Marathon received a lot of negative reviews. Indeed, after ten years, nothing has changed. The check-in and bag storage were chaotic, and the supplies were lacking. For those running slowly, there was nothing left. I particularly miss the instant noodles on the track last year. The previously advertised food corridor was just empty booths. The final bag collection... I'll spare you a thousand words, but I found my own bag. Jinji Lake Marathon, it's hard to love you!
