Chapter 87 No Feeling

Perhaps because the forecast for the 30th is that the temperature will be very high, no matches were scheduled during the day at the Osaka World Championships. The matches will start at 7:00 AM Osaka time.

Today's competition includes the men's 110m hurdles semifinals. This event, in which Liu Feiren will participate, is arguably the most important event for the Chinese track and field team in this competition. The entire delegation is counting on winning gold in this event, and everyone's attention is focused on Liu Feiren.

As for Lu Wei, although his advancement to the finals yesterday gave the entire delegation a boost, based on his performance in the semifinals, everyone believed that even if his score improved further in the finals, he would still likely remain in the bottom three.

From this perspective, Lu Wei's prospects are actually not as good as Huang Xiaoxiao's, who made it to the women's 400m hurdles final. Huang Xiaoxiao ranked fourth in the semifinals and has a good chance of winning a medal for the Chinese delegation.

The 400-meter hurdles final will also be held tonight, so everyone's attention is not on Lu Wei tonight.

This gave Lu Wei a lot of free time, but being constantly looked after wasn't exactly pleasant. For example, yesterday morning, when he took a few breaths during training, the team doctor immediately rushed over to ask about his condition. If Lu Wei indicated he wasn't feeling well, he would immediately undergo a full-body checkup. There were countless similar incidents; being the second-in-command wasn't an easy job.

In the morning, everyone was focused on Liu Feiren and Huang Xiaoxiao, so Lu Wei could finally train in peace.

During the final moments of yesterday's match, Lu Wei felt a strange sensation on his body, a feeling he had rarely experienced since his transmigration.

Lu Wei's performance in yesterday's race was actually quite average. He was hampered by Taylor and Brown's speed in the early stages, which led to exhaustion in the last 100 meters. In the final few dozen meters against John Steve, he seemed on the verge of collapse, but unexpectedly, he pulled off a last-minute victory.

After yesterday's competition, Lu Wei felt completely exhausted and didn't have the energy to think about it. Today, at the training ground, Lu Wei carefully recalled how he felt during the last 50 meters yesterday.

According to Lu Wei's understanding over this period, people generally experience low moods when they are physically exhausted. Yesterday, when he felt he couldn't run anymore, he felt very irritable and angry.

As this emotion spread, Lu Wei felt his body heat up at the last moment, as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He instantly unleashed a great deal of fighting power, as if his body had been injected with energy, and he instantly maintained his speed.

If I had to describe that feeling at the time, it would be summed up in two words: fanaticism.

However, after the initial excitement subsided, physical exhaustion followed.

Lu Wei still couldn't forget that exhilarating feeling, and he wanted to recapture that feeling on the training field today.

Since I don't have a competition today, it doesn't matter if I'm a little tired from training. For a sprinter, one day of rest is enough to recover my physical strength.

Today, Wang Qiao arranged for Lu Wei to continue his training on the curves. Lu Wei has practiced this event for many years, but those are only the curves techniques of third-rate athletes. These techniques are not effective in world-class competitions.

The orcs had never specifically trained in cornering techniques since childhood; they had only practiced on the track for four months, so their skills were barely passable.

The body's original owner and the current owner both had average cornering skills, so the only way to improve is through extra training.

After running through several bends, Wang Qiao still felt that Lu Wei was not running smoothly when going through sharp bends. If he were drawn in lane 1 or 2 in the competition, the final would be very difficult. However, no track and field event can be mastered quickly; it can only be honed through continuous practice.

When Lu Wei is cornering on the inside track, he often has difficulty maintaining his original speed. Either his speed decreases or he goes too fast, and he has to force his body to turn when he turns. This posture not only looks awkward to Wang Qiao, but also feels awkward to Lu Wei when he runs.

That's all we can do for now. For now, we can only let Lu Wei find his rhythm through training. Also, we hope that Lu Wei won't be assigned to lane 1, even lane 8 or 9 would be fine.

After finishing the cornering training, Lu Wei decided to do a few more sets of 400-meter runs to see if he could find his rhythm from yesterday. Anyway, his training volume hadn't been very high since he arrived in Osaka.

For the first four 400-meter sets, Lu Wei focused on maintaining his usual pace. He finished each set in just over 45 seconds. While not easy, he felt the same as always, without any particular discomfort.

This running style is clearly just about practicing your skills; aside from maintaining your physical condition, it probably doesn't serve much purpose.

In the competition, it's probably only Varina who can live in his own world; it would be difficult for anyone else to finish the race at a very average speed while remaining oblivious to others.

Even Angelo Taylor and Chris Brown, once they get carried away, they don't care about anything else. It's unlikely that they'll be able to finish the game with the same mindset as they did in training. Who knows, they might have an outburst right away tomorrow.

Instead of doing that, why not try to have a burst of energy from the start? After all, I'm not a newbie, and adapting to different running styles will be beneficial for me.

So Lu Wei, in the 5th group of 400 meters, started with a burst of speed, sprinting at full speed on the first straight. But after the second bend, he felt that he couldn't maintain his speed.

He didn't feel the energy he was going for, but even though he ran under 45 seconds, Lu Wei didn't feel quite right. He couldn't figure out where that feeling from yesterday came from.

"Lu Wei, that's enough. There's the final tomorrow, so take it easy. Let's call it a day. Run a few laps to warm up, and it'll be over by morning!"

Wang Qiao has become quite suspicious of Lu Wei. Now he is paying close attention to Lu Wei's every move, fearing that something might happen to him.

She never dared to imagine that she could lead Lu Wei to this point. Even if Lu Wei came in last, she would be satisfied.

Although he was still not satisfied, Lu Wei did not continue. After participating in the national competition, he had been training alone. Now, he was the only one in the Chinese track and field team qualified to participate in the world competition.

This kind of training is like playing with yourself. It's okay for a short time, but training alone for a long time can really make you feel a bit bored.

If I don't want to practice, then I won't. I'll go and study the relay with Shen Liang and the others some more. These past few days, I've only had about half an hour each day to practice with them for the 400 meters.

After dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Lu turned on the TV as usual to watch the World Championships live on the sports channel. Lu Wei wasn't playing today, so the elderly couple were quite relaxed. If they hadn't watched the games for five consecutive days and developed the habit, Mrs. Lu probably would have monopolized the remote control and watched her own dramas today.
