All-round Athlete

The coach of the national team's triathlon is surnamed He. He is a dark-skinned middle-aged man. He is very polite and even cautious when facing Zhang Guan. Apart from Coach He, Zhang Guan did not see the triathlon leader.

This made Zhang Guan feel a little surprised, because under normal circumstances, the reception is responsible for this kind of thing, the coach is mainly focused on training, carefully inquired, Zhang Guan learned that the triathlon team has no leader at all.

"We don't have many opportunities to go abroad, and even if we go abroad, they are all held in Asia. We rarely have the opportunity to participate in the world-class triathlon. So there is no official leader." He The coach explained.

"What should I do when I really go abroad?" Zhang Guan then asked.

"If it is a triathlon special event, the organization will temporarily arrange a leader as the leader; if it is the Olympics, our leader will be part-time for other projects." Coach He sighed, then said: "This is also no There are so many resources for the country, no matter it is manpower, material resources and financial resources, priority will be given to strong projects. Our triathlon is weak, so we have to allocate less resources. If it is not the 10th National Games If triathlons are listed as competitions, we may not be able to guarantee even the most basic training."

"I remember at the last Olympics, didn't our triathlon achieve the best results in history? I also read this news at that time! Is this not enough for the General Administration to be inclined in terms of resource allocation?" Zhang Guan asked.

Coach He suddenly looked embarrassed. He hesitated for a few seconds before saying: “For the men’s team, the 2008 Olympic Games is indeed the best ever. 55 people participated and we achieved 46th place. It’s not easy. But that’s the first time our male athletes have participated in the Olympics.”

Zhang Guan realized in an instant that the national team was able to participate in the last Olympic Games with the host quota. In the previous Olympic Games, the men's players did not even have the qualifications to participate. Since this is the first time, let alone 46, it is the first 55, which is the best result ever. This kind of thing is not worth bragging about, and it is no wonder that Coach He will be embarrassed.

However, when the press release was issued, in order to play a publicity role, of course, it was good to pick up. Moreover, ordinary people do not know which three items are triathlons, and who will really notice whether it is the first time. Participate in the Olympic Games!

Coach He then introduced: "The triathlon sport in Europe and the United States has a history of several decades, but our country has only carried out a few years, and it is sure to lag behind. And on the basis of the masses, it is not as good as others. Although there are several Triathlon competitions, but the annual number of participants does not exceed 2000, which also includes some foreign athletes. Our officially registered triathlon athletes are only a few hundred, which is far worse than abroad. "

Zhang Guan nodded to understand that, compared with more than 50,000 registered members of the US triathlon, ordinary fans are countless. Others choose 50,000 people to participate in the Olympic Games, but China chooses hundreds of people to participate in the Olympic Games. It is inevitable that there will be a big gap in the level of players.

Only coach He went on to say: "Our domestic triathletes are all selected from swimmers, so swimming is our strength, but in long-distance running and cycling, we are relatively weak. You are track and field Athletes are born and have broken so many world records. They are definitely better than swimmers in long-distance running; on the bicycle side, you are the champion of Tour de France. Our team also hopes that you can teach our athletes about long-distance running and Bicycle technology and experience."

During the conversation between the two, the car has arrived at the triathlon training base.

Said to be a training base, there are actually only two buildings, one building is a dormitory area, and the other building is an office area plus a training area. The main training for triathlon is still performed outdoors, so the training area is actually just storing equipment and conducting some simple equipment training.

Bicycle and long-distance running, these are hard to avoid Zhang Guan, especially bicycles, Zhang Guan's speed is much faster than other athletes. In terms of swimming, Zhang Guan also learned several long-distance swimming skills, but did not achieve the desired effect of Zhang Guan.

Zhang Guan's muscle density is still too high, which is a disadvantage in swimming.

The high muscle density means that the buoyancy is small. When swimming, it will consume more physical energy for buoyancy. This is why black athletes have such great physical fitness, but have no success in swimming. Black athletes like Bolt have very little fat in the body and high muscle density. To put it plainly means that the meat is too heavy and sinks in the water immediately. Even if the explosive force is strong, it is not suitable for swimming .

Physiologically speaking, track and field and swimming are opposites. It is very difficult for swimmers to switch to track and field, or to switch to swimming for track and field athletes. Even if the technology is good, the physical constraints cannot be exceeded.

Long-distance running and long-distance swimming are better. The long-distance competition mainly depends on endurance. When the endurance is similar, the speed difference is not very big. But sprinting and short-distance swimming are definitely not both. Sprinters want to run fast, they must increase their explosive power, and they must increase their muscle density. If the muscle density is high, it is impossible to swim fast in short distances.

Of course, this is not to say that Bolt swimming will definitely not work, maybe he can swim very fast, but he certainly cannot beat the world-class swimmers. This cannot be compensated by technology or explosive force, and the physiological structure is destined to this.

From this point of view, the muscle density of both Caucasians and yellows is suitable for swimming. However, the skeletons of Caucasians are too large, and they have advantages in buoyancy. At the same time, their hands and feet are also relatively large. The same stroke can be drawn farther, which is more labor-saving. So in the early years, swimming was almost monopolized by white people. The yellow race can only make a difference in the high-speed and slow swimming of breaststroke.

So for Zhang Guan, he needs to reduce the muscle density a little bit. To put it plainly means to increase a little fat to get more buoyancy when swimming.

Increasing fat content will definitely affect the performance of sprint competitions. Fortunately, Zhang Guan will not participate in sprint competitions this year, and appropriate reduction in muscle density will have no effect on other sports Zhang Zhang participates in. Whether it is tennis or bicycle, the demand for muscle sticks is not great.

Zhang Guan's time is very urgent. He only has one month of training and adjustment time. In early March, the team's trial will be held, and the Asian triathlon championship is also close at hand.

After a month of training, Zhang Guan is about to usher in the first team trial. Those with excellent results can get the chance to participate in the Asian Triathlon Championships next month.

However, at this time, Coach He told Zhang Guan an unexpected good news. (To be continued.)
