Yul-hee, who collapsed in the last competition, succeeded leisurely this time.
In the seventh episode of MBN's special plan for the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the country, which aired on the 31st, 16 members of the 'Tusan Crew" must complete the half marathon (21.0975km) within 3 hours to revive Yang So-young and Bae Yoon-jung' was released as a scene story challenging the mission.
In the 'Half Marathon' held in Boseong, Jeollanam-do, Lee Jang-joon did not miss the top from the beginning to the end. In the Uphill section, he succeeded in completing the race with a time of 1 hour 49 minutes 43 seconds with his determination to speed up. Han Sang-bo and Yul-hee came in second and third after Lee Jang-joon, and Yul-hee "I felt light today." I was sure as I passed the 17km section. I thought this tournament would pass quickly even if the limitations were reached."
Due to Yul-hee's performance in the women's first place, Yang Se-hyung of the relay team seems to have a training effect. "I ran a much longer distance than the last time, but it looks easier." Coach Kwon Eun-joo was surprised, saying, `Yul-hee seems to have excellent endurance. If the training goes well, I think I can finish 42.195km," he said in a storm of compliments.
On the other hand, all the middle and lower ranks looked tired, burning the hearts of coaches, coaches, and relay teams. However, Jang Dong-sun, who was running in fourth place, was surprised when he saw Ahn Sung-hoon hitting at the last minute. Ahn Sung-hoon said " (Jang Dong-sun) let's go together and sprinted." Traitor!", and Jang Dong-sun suddenly jumped when there was a pacemaker named Ahn Sung-hoon. I think I ran out unconsciously." As a result, Jang Dong-sun crossed the finish line in fourth place and Ahn Sung-hoon in fifth place. With five people successfully completing the race within three hours, Bae Sung-jae of the relay team said, "If only three more players score within three more hours, Yang So-young and Bae Yoon-jung can be revived." he raised his voice. However, Kim Seung-jin complained of pain in the soles of his feet caused by plantar fasciitis at the 17km point, causing concern. Just in time, a passing general contestant "The mind beats the body!When he shouted ", Kim Seung-jin, who was stimulated by this, showed his scary mental strength and finished the race in sixth place.
Son Jeong-eun then crossed the finish line, followed by Yang So-young in the last 8th place. Yang So-young said, `I really felt like I was going to die"And yet "I'm a person who can do it until the end without giving up, let's not give up on life either. That's what I thought. It was a very overwhelming day." Bae Yoon-jung also overcame her knee injury and completed the 'half marathon' within three hours to confirm her revival. He `challenged the goal of the highest limits of my life, and I think (the runner-up medal) will be the medal of my life" and shed tears of emotion.
Choi Joon-seok and Bang Eun-hee, who are in the lower ranks, also ran to the end at their own pace. Choi Joon-seok completed the race within three hours, saying, `I was angry because my knees didn't follow me.' Bang Eun-hee, who had previously been cast due to a broken toe, also achieved better-than-expected results of 3 hours, 1 minute and 3 seconds. Heo Jae, the eldest member of the 'Tusan Crew', showed difficulty in physical strength throughout the race, but "I won't give up because the members are waiting."and finally succeeded in completing the race. Immediately after, he received an IV at the hospital, and unfortunately, he was unable to attend the unity contest to commemorate the completion of the 'Half Marathon'.
After exceeding the goal 'Tusan Crew' relieved its fatigue with a unity contest for the first time in a long time. Deputy Chief Lee Young-pyo said "Today's result is a very surprising event. The production team wrote 'First Challenge' on the congratulatory placard, not 'Wanju'. We did what the production team thought was impossible today." Later, a secret ballot selected the Best Pacemaker award, with Han Sang-bo winning first place after a close race. Han Sang-bo received a warm ovation from 'Tusan Crew' at the same time as he was presented with the MVP badge of glory.
