June 14.
The eve of the Lanzhou Marathon.
Wang Ye bought a brand-new mountain bike at the local Giant store.
He rode to the event location to collect the race packet and number plate for the race.
Then returned to the hotel and attached the number plate to the back of his race suit.
After preparing these race items, Wang Ye continued downstairs to indulge in a meal at a beef noodle shop.
His main dish was noodles, with hardly any protein and heavy oil or spicy seasonings.
The primary goal of Wang Ye's meal was to replenish fast carbs in preparation for tomorrow's long race. A lot of protein and seasonings would increase the body's burden, which could result in reduced athletic performance.
