Professional athletes conceal their injury situation is often a time, not only to protect their own hint, but also to prevent the opponent in the game from deliberately targeted, while avoiding injuries affecting their own commercial value, resulting in lower advertising endorsement income.

For example, in professional basketball or professional football, many clubs also keep the medical reports of players confidential, protecting the interests of both athletes and teams.

Helen Pepe hid her hip injury, even if the Australian Open withdrew due to injury, she only announced that it was because of calf muscle strain.

The human hip is a place with more meat, whether it is muscle or fat, it can be regarded as a buffer or a protection.When a person falls to the ground, if it is the ass on the ground, the pain will be relatively light, and it will not easily cause injury.If the knee is in a relatively hard place to land, the lighter will rub the skin, and the serious damage will cause serious injuries such as fractures.

From this point of view, the hips with more meat have more protection and are not easy to hurt.

Athletes hip injuries are many of the injury, long-term high-intensity training and competition, muscle does not get enough rest, it is easy to be injured.And this kind of strain injury, recovery is more troublesome, this kind of injury caused by years of years, naturally after years of years to recover.And that kind of inflammatory muscle injury will repeat over and over again, even if it is cured, there is a possibility of recurrence, and it is likely to follow the athlete for a lifetime.

It is precisely because of this hip strain injury that it is troublesome, not a moment and a half that can be cured, Helen Pepe will choose to hide.

However, Li Dai directly said Helen Pepe's hip injury, which naturally surprised her.

Helen Pepe's hip injury, except for herself, only her coach and doctor know, Pepe did not even tell her parents, there will never be a fourth person in the world to know about this matter.

“How did he know?”Pepe looked at Li Dai with surprise and couldn’t help but ask the question, “How do you know what was hurt?”

Seeing Pepe's expression, Li Dai knew that he might have spoken more.

Li Dai carefully recalled, recently saw about the news about tennis, he remembered that the news only said Helen Pepe's calf pulled out of the Australian Open, and there was no media mention of her hip injury, this moment, Li Daiton understood.

“She’s hiding her wounds!”Thinking of this, Li Dai made a look of inscrutableness, and then said: "Miss Pepe, you just said, I am very good at rehabilitation training, if even athletes can not see where the injury, then how can I do rehabilitation training for athletes, you say?" 」

“Oh, is it?”Helen Pepe was obviously not quite convinced of Lee Dai's words, and she looked at Li Dai with a doubtful eye.

In order to resolve the embarrassment, but also to relieve Pepe's concerns, he said: "Miss Pepe, please rest assured that your injury, I will keep it confidential, I am a coach, naturally will abide by the coach's ethics."

"Thank you very much."Pepe took a toast and took a small sip, then said goodbye with a smile.

Li Dai can feel that this "first beauty of the Internet" must be full of vigilance against herself.

After all, Li Dai saw that she had broken her secret, and she was afraid that she would not become a customer of Li Dai.

...

In the winter and spring, the weather finally warmed up, and the triathlon movement in the northern hemisphere began to be active again.

Triathlon includes 1.5 km of swimming, 40 km of cycling and 10 km of long run.Among them, 40 km of cycling and 10 km of long-distance running, held in winter is no problem, while 1.5 km of swimming is held in public waters, winter can not be carried out in this project competition, even if the water is not frozen, the cold water will bring life-threatening to athletes.

Summer climate is hot, swimming is naturally no problem, and spring and autumn, although the water temperature in open water is not high, but the athletes of the iron and triathlon wear special warm swimsuits, which can completely ensure the normal competition of athletes.

Hanson Brown trained in Los Angeles and participated in several triathlon events in the United States, winning several championships.

At the level of Hanson Brown, as long as there is no brother Tyre, then the championship is not him.

"Coach Lee, I think my strength is a lot better than six months ago."Hanson spoke, his eyes full of confidence.

Li Dai nodded, he was still very confident in his training effect, Hanson Brown in Li Dai here, but also did make some progress.But Li Dai also knew that Hanson was still less powerful than his brother Tyre.

But Hanson Brown did not think so, only to hear him go on: "I now feel that I am no match for my brother, and if I try a little harder, I will be able to surpass him."

Li Dai nodded again, he did not tell Hanson the truth, and he did not want to hit the young man's heart.

Hanson went on to say, “Coach Lee, there are still three months left before the Kona Triathlon World Championships, and I intend to use this time to do some more intensive training, so I am asked to develop a new training plan for me, and I hope to increase the intensity of some training.”

“All right.I'll drop out all my work in the afternoon, just for your training program."Li Dai promised to come down, from the perspective of the coach, the athlete wants to train harder, he does not need to refuse, and he should give the athletes more encouragement.

However, when thinking about the Lawrence Awards meeting Thiel, Lee asked, "Hanson, I know you want to win your brother, but have you ever thought that your brother may not pay much attention to the win or loss between you, or that he does not care who gets the first one between you."

Hanson Brown staggered, then shook his head: "I don't know."

“When you were in England, you trained all day and didn’t communicate often?”Lee then asked.

“We were not talking before.When we were young, we talked about cartoons, and when we grew up, we started talking about beautiful women, and when we became athletes, we started talking about games, about championships."Hanson sighed and went on to say, “But in recent years, there have really been fewer topics between us.Especially when we get more and more championships, the more we feel that there is nothing to say to each other.”

“Is it because of the competition?”Lee then asked.

“Probably!I don't know either."Hanson shook his head: "In short, our relationship is estranged."

"I probably understand something."Li Dai looked at Hanson, but for a moment did not know what to say.

Li Dai is the only son of the family, no brothers and sisters, he is not like Hanson, there is a brother who grew up with him.

But Li Dai can understand Hanson's mood, his brother has become the most powerful competitor in his career, this choice between family and career, this contradictory psychology, like a shackle, is a burden.

...

The Kona Triathlon World Championship is a triathlon hall-level event held in the small town of Kona, Hawaii, with 2,000 participants each year.Of course, these two thousand players are grouped according to different groups, most of them are not professional iron three athletes, and even many film and television stars or business crocodiles to "really participate".After all, it is a commercial operation of the game, giving the celebrity big name green light is also a normal thing.

For professional players, the number of participants is very harsh, can participate in the professional level competition, are from the top players from all countries, many players who have the ability to participate in the Olympic Games, may not be able to participate in Kona's triathlon world championship.

The Kona Triathlon World Championships are also the longest in today's triathlon.

The Olympic triathlon includes 1.5 km of swimming, 40 km of cycling and 10 km of long-distance running, while the Kona Triathlon World Championships are 3.8 km open water swimming, 189 km road cycling and 42.159 km standard full marathon.

In terms of sports intensity, the Kona Triathlon World Championships are four times the size of the Olympic triathlon, and the difficulty can be increased by more than four times.Even the world's top triathlete, it takes more than eight hours to complete the whole event, and a slightly worse level, it takes more than 10 hours to complete the full set of competitions.

This kind of high-intensity competition, if you can successfully finish the game, absolutely should be the title of "Iron Man".

This year's triathlon world championship, the Brown brothers are still the big hot winner, in fact, in the past two world championships, brother Tyre Brown won the championship, and his brother Hanson Brown also won the runner-up.

Where the game started, a lot of athletes gathered, the Brown brothers stood side by side, and the camera continued to give this pair of brothers who ruled the iron three sports.

However, the brothers did not have any communication, they did not even look at each other, the two people just quietly, looking seriously at the water ahead.

The gunfire of the game began, and the players rushed into the water.

Swimming in open water at 3.8 km is equivalent to swimming in the pool for five kilometers.This long distance, physical energy consumption of sports, will soon allow athletes to divide into different echelons.

As the top leader of the triathlon movement, the Brown brothers are naturally in the leading echelon, and soon, the two brothers will stand out from the many participants.

Sports such as long-distance running and long-distance cycling have tactics to help athletes save physical strength.For example, in long-distance running, there will be alternating lead tactics.Another example is the Tour de France, a team will have a clear division of labor, someone is responsible for carrying drinks and supplies, someone will compete for the sprint point to get a green shirt, someone will compete for the climbing point to get a spot shirt, and the core riders of each team are responsible for competing for the title, and strive to win the yellow shirt that symbolizes the leading overall score.

But the triathlon world championships do not exist this situation, up to more than eight hours of competition, athletes' physical fitness will inevitably be in a limit state for a long time, in this case any tactics will not play a role, do tactical cooperation is meaningless things.

So the other players are not worried about the Brown Brotherhood using tactical cooperation to gain an advantage.

...

Hanson Brown, who was the first to complete the 3.8-kilometer swim, went ashore as he trotted off his swimsuit, then came to the area where the bike was parked, quickly brought a hard hat, then pushed the bike forward while wearing shoes, and then began the formation of a road bike up to 189 kilometers long.

His brother, Thiel Brown, was only more than twenty seconds slower than Hansen, and in the triathlon movement, it was not a gap at all, and it would be twenty or thirty seconds to wear a helmet or a shoe.

After 3.8 kilometers of long-distance swimming, the brothers were only more than 20 seconds away, which also shows from the side that the strength gap between the two is almost minimal.

But Thiel Brown knew that his brother had progressed.

"Hanson has improved a lot, compared to the previous game, I need to spend more physical fitness to follow him, it seems that his training in the United States is really good.The fact that Coach Lee was able to get the best coach in Lawrence is a good name."Tyre Brown thought to herself.

At this time, Thiel Brown felt that Hansen was on par with himself in strength, and this time, he had to do his best without reservation to be able to compete with his brother.

Road bikes are one of Hansen’s best projects, his riding skills are better than Thiel, and the gap between him and his good Thiel is getting wider.

The oncoming sea breeze carries a sweet taste, which Hansen likes very much, which is unique to Hawaii, mixed with the smell of pineapple and banana, with a hint of sugar cane, the sun shines on the sea surface of the evaporating sea.

He raised his head, enjoyed the feeling of the sea breeze slapping on his face, and more enjoyed the burning feeling of the sun shining on his face, but this burning heat had a different kind of comfort after the humid sea breeze.

He turned a big corner, and then looked back at the figure of his brother, Tell Brown, who had long since disappeared into his sight.

“I finally got him off!”Hanson felt a feeling of excitement.

“Maybe this time, I can really beat him!”That thought came to Hanson’s mind.

This isn’t the first time Hanson has had this idea.However, every time, when he ignited hope, he would eventually gain disappointment.

"No, it's not the time to take it lightly, it's just the second project, and then there's a long-distance marathon!"I have to stick to the lead until the end.”

Hanson's expression was serious again, and he no longer enjoyed the sea breeze triumphantly, but looked straight ahead.

...

Thiel turned a corner, and he looked forward, even at the end of the horizon, and still did not see his brother Hanson.

“He’s been driving me more than two miles!”Thiel frowned slightly, and he was somewhat dissatisfied with the result.

How far the human eye can see is related to the object identified.For example, looking up at the starry sky, the naked eye can see a thousand kilometers away from the artificial satellite, if you look at the high-rise building, about eight kilometers to ten thousand meters away, look at the bungalow, the visual range is five kilometers to seven kilometers, and to identify a person's eyes, nose and fingers, need to 60 meters distance to see.

If a person is the target, the human visual recognition limit is about 2000 meters, that is, two kilometers, at this time Thiel can no longer see Hansen, indicating that Hansen left him at least two kilometers.

"I need to be faster, at least not to be left out of sight by Hansen."

...

Hansen was the first to complete a 189-kilometer road bike ride.

He put the bike in his place and put on his running shoes while looking in the direction he came.

Until he got dressed in his running shoes and started to run, he did not see Tyre's figure.

"Tel has not caught up, it seems that my advantage is big enough, this time, maybe really can win!"Hanson finally felt that the goddess of victory was beckoning to him.
