He was hit in the head by a bullet and was mistaken for a stone. He persisted in running the whole marathon. What happened afterwards?

As the saying goes, "the authorities are fascinated", but there are some things that we may not know when we are in it. For example, when playing chess, people who watch chess can often see more clearly, but there are some omissions on both sides of playing chess. In the same way, there is also a mystery in the United States, and the final result is unexpected.

As a sport, marathon has always been the endurance and perseverance of graduate students, and many people can't persist in running 42 kilometers. Therefore, this sport has become a choice for many people to challenge themselves. Large-scale marathons will be held at home and abroad, and the most famous marathon in the United States is the Boston Marathon Conference in Michigan.

The third Monday in April every year is Patriot Day in the United States, which is also the date of the Boston Marathon. Marathon enthusiasts from all over the United States gathered here to participate in this grand event. One of the runners was Dennis Reiner, who took part in the Boston Marathon with a score of 1980. At that time, he was very confident in the competition, because after a long period of training and exercise, he was able to finish the competition in a limited time. But in the end, his score was nine minutes behind the scheduled time, and the reason why he failed to finish the game on time turned out to be that a bullet hit him in the head.

1980, 26-year-old Dennis was preparing to warm up before the game. He has been a professional marathon runner with 8 years' experience and has participated in more than one Boston Marathon. He is confident that this year's competition can be completed in three hours, so that he can get a place in the next year's qualifiers. In this way, everything was normal from the beginning to the first 10 km, with even breathing and harmonious pace, but an accident occurred when running to 16 km.

Dennis, who was running, suddenly got a blow on the head, as if a stone had hit him. In an instant, a fool almost fell down. But he immediately adjusted the rhythm and began to enter the state again. He doesn't care about this episode. Although his head is swollen, there is not much blood loss and the pain is not strong. So he decided to finish the game first and then do the treatment.

But as he ran, his head was hit more and more painfully, and the loss of physical strength was accelerating, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted. Finally, I finished the whole race, but the time showed 3 hours and 9 minutes. As a result, I couldn't participate in the marathon qualifier in the second year. Although disappointed, he didn't have time to estimate his achievements, but went to the hospital to dress the wound first.

When he arrived at the hospital, he was surprised and angry. It turned out that it was not a pebble that hit him, but a.22 caliber bullet. The bullet was embedded in his skull, and any further would have killed him. Under the emergency treatment of the doctor, he was finally out of danger and immediately called the police.

This incident has also spread throughout the marathon world. According to his analysis, if he hadn't been hit by a bullet, the Boston Marathon Organizing Committee should have been able to finish it within three hours, so he made an exception and agreed to participate in next year's qualifiers. And more people say that he walked in the gate of hell for a period of time and recovered from death.

Dennis, who is now in his sixties, has been in high spirits when talking about this past event, because this story has given him another nickname "Bullet Man" in the marathon world. The tenacity of life lies in persistence and hard work. Maybe we don't know that life is held at the last minute. What do you think of Dennis's experience?
