With Races Canceled, Runners Take To The Trails To Set Records

随着比赛被取消,选手们开始跑到山路上创造记录

At the end of a dirt road in New York's Adirondack Mountains, endurance athlete Alyssa Godesky switches on her headlamp. It's 4 a.m. when Godesky begins what will be the first of three and a half days of scrambling up rocky trails and bushwhacking through thick forests.

在纽约阿迪朗达克山脉的一条土路的尽头,耐力运动员阿丽莎·戈德斯基打开了她的头灯。凌晨4点,戈德斯基开始了为期三天半的在茂密的森林中攀爬岩石小道和灌木丛之旅的第一天。

Godesky is one of thousands of runners chasing down speed records in the mountains since the start of the coronavirus pandemic. With all the major races canceled this year, more athletes are measuring themselves against the clock, attempting to set what are known as Fastest Known Times.

自冠状病毒流行病开始以来,戈德斯基是成千上万在山区追逐速度记录的跑步者之一。随着今年所有主要赛事的取消,越来越多的运动员开始与时间赛跑,试图设定已知的最快时间(简称FKT)。

"We've known the interest in FKTs is growing, but it's growing, I think, even faster than I imagined," said Meghan Hicks, editor at iRunFar, a trail running website.

“我们知道人们对FKTs的兴趣在增长,但我认为,它的增长速度比我想象的还要快,”越野跑步网站iRunFar的编辑梅根·希克斯说。

From March through September of 2019, runners set about 700 Fastest Known Times. This year, nearly 3,000 new FKTs have been recorded, according to a website by that name. The routes, which are mostly in the mountains, are collected and confirmed using GPS coordinates by an independent team of volunteers.

从2019年3月到9月,跑步者创下了约700次已知最快成绩。据一家名为FKTs的网站称,今年有近3000个新的FKTs被记录下来。这些路线大多在山区,由一个独立的志愿者团队利用GPS坐标进行收集和确认。

This summer, Hicks set a new FKT on a trail called Nolan's 14, a 100 mile mountainous route through central Colorado. "The skyline is gorgeous, the mountains are gorgeous," Hicks said. "It's just a really special place on earth."

今年夏天,希克斯在一条名为诺兰14号的小道上设立了一个新的FKT目标,这是一条穿越科罗拉多州中部、长达100英里的山路。“天际线很美,山也很美,”希克斯说。“这是地球上一个非常特别的地方。”

Professional ultrarunner Coree Woltering also went after an FKT in a place that's special to him — the midwest, where he grew up and still lives.

职业超级跑步者科里·沃林也在一个对他来说特别的地方追求FKT——中西部,他在那里长大,现在仍然生活在那里。

At first, Woltering's run was a way to challenge himself and raise money for a hunger relief organization.

起初,沃林的跑步是一种挑战自己的方式,并为一个饥饿救济组织筹集资金。

Back in the Adirondack Mountains, Alyssa Godesky set her FKT in 3 days, 16 hours, and 16 minutes. Godesky's close friends and family were there to celebrate with her.

回到阿迪朗达克山脉,阿丽莎·戈德斯基用3天16小时16分钟完成了她的FKT。戈德斯基的好朋友和家人都来和她一起庆祝。

In a normal race year, when there's not a pandemic, Godesky travels to races by herself, which she says can feel lonely.

在正常的比赛年,没有流行病的时候,戈德斯基独自去比赛,她说这样会感到孤独。

"This was the opposite of lonely. I felt just completely surrounded by so much love and excitement and energy," Godesky said.

这次与孤独正好相反。我完全被爱、兴奋和活力包围着,”戈德斯基说。

Setting records is a way for athletes like Godesky to keep their edge until races are back on. It's also a way to find joy out on the trail.

对于像戈德斯基这样的运动员来说,在比赛重新开始之前,创造记录是他们保持优势的一种方式。这也是在旅途中寻找乐趣的一种方式。
