No matter how difficult the competition was going to be, or how much energy they had to expend, these were not things that the students from each country could accurately calculate. The only thing they could do was to complete the competition and achieve good results.
The poisoned zone meant that their mental state was unprecedentedly tense, and carrying the logs required the accumulation and explosive power of their entire body.
The logs were all solid logs, and the wood was quite hard. Each log weighed 15 kilograms, and they were placed neatly one by one. The students stood next to the logs they had to carry, waiting for the whistle to sound.
Everything was ready. Hundreds of students from each country focused their energy and looked straight ahead with determination. Their young faces still looked a little immature, but they were all calm and had no intention of backing down.
These were the current generation of soldiers from each country. Even if they often offended the students from other countries, they were still the best students in the eyes of their own country's instructors.
Li Jinnian held up the binoculars with both hands. His tall figure and calm appearance always attracted some people's attention. He didn't like to talk, but that didn't mean he didn't have a strong presence. Even if he didn't like to talk, his presence was still very strong. His aura that didn't lose out to others earned him some respect.
Moreover, the good performance of the Chinese students increased the amount of respect they had for him.
He quietly watched the Chinese students without saying a word. The other instructors standing next to him seemed to be thirsty to the point that their throats were itchy. After a few coughs of varying pitch, they slowly withdrew their gazes from the Chinese instructors and similarly raised their binoculars to observe their own students.
When the whistle sounded, all the students stood up the round logs that were lying flat on the ground. Then, they bent their backs and pulled the long riveted handles on the left and right sides of the round logs. In a short period of time, they lifted the 15kg solid round logs onto their shoulders without anyone's help. They could only rely on themselves.
It was easier for the boys, but the girls were at a disadvantage. It was difficult for the weaker ones to lift it in one go.
Tian Qin was a little strained. She was a pilot, and although the physical requirements were high, she didn't have daily physical training like the army. Her physical training was all related to flying.
Just as she lifted the log for the first time, the weight of the log made her lose her balance. Suddenly, the log, which was leaning to the left, was lifted steadily. She didn't have time to turn her head to thank Ye Chien, who was standing on her left. She quickly used Ye Chien's strength to lift the log with her right hand. Finally, she was able to lift the unbalanced log on her shoulder.
"Run!"
When her left ear heard Ye Chien's clear and steady voice penetrating through her ears, Tian Qin nodded slightly. She picked up the log and began to run three thousand meters.
The 3,000-meter log run was a sloping run. The entire running field was a small hill with uneven ground. Running to the top of the hill and back to the starting point was a round trip of 3,000 meters.
As they climbed, the temperature gradually rose. It was not easy to run with a fifteen-kilogram log on their shoulders, but the US Navy Academy was used to it.
The log carrying training originated from the United States Marine Corps. Its purpose was to improve physical fitness, train teamwork, and individual perseverance. The students of the United States Marine Corps Academy treated the log carrying training as a school tradition. It was a physical training that every student had to go through. Therefore, after years of training, they were naturally stronger than students from other countries.
