Chapter 186 A Marathon to Enter History 7

Chapter 186 A Marathon to Enter History 7


By the time Jake pa.s.sed the 40 km and everyone could see that he had over energy it was almost certain that he would be the winner in the end, even though the runner up was over 4 minutes behind him.


Jake, who had always kept the same pace from 1 km in 3 minutes decided to slow down to 1 km in 4 minutes at the end of the race, after all, Jake didn"t mind breaking records in his first marathon.


He just wanted to win in the end, otherwise, he could eat a stamina bar and run under 2 hours and beat the considered limit for the marathon runners, so he did differently from the other marathon runners who increased the pace at the end of the marathon.


Whoever was watching didn"t realize that Jake could control his running pace and thought he was getting tired at the end, so all the spectators who were present at the marathon site in the last kilometers of the race began to applaud Jake to encourage him to finish the race first.


Jake was very excited about it and was thrilled too, he finally realized that he was close to winning an international major marathon, a dream come true for many marathoners worldwide.


He who had started running just because he liked it very early and did it for two lives, Jake only stopped running in his past life because he lost his leg movements because otherwise, he would have run until he was very old.


Also, in his past life, Jake had always dreamed of completing a marathon but had no chance, so in that final km of the marathon, he remembered that.


Even so Jake kept up the pace that would give him the win, so to those who were cheering it looked like he was looking forward to finis.h.i.+ng the race to win, little did they know that if Jake wasn"t conservative he could run like this up to 50km in total.


Jake kept running and in the last km people were cheering even more excitedly, second place could almost see Jake in the end, but he knew it was impossible for Jake to lose in the end and just wanted to slow his own time.


While Jake was closing the marathon one of the commentators got some information from him, was this commentator surprised, did a young man of 16 who was running his first marathon have any information to be discovered?


But as soon as he saw the information he was impressed, Jake was from the city of Miami and must have come to Chicago just to partic.i.p.ate in the marathon, he had also made a television commercial.


Also, Jake was the last MVP of the national high school champions.h.i.+p, what did that mean? That Jake was a basketball player and a very talented at that, maybe a future NBA player.


In the information it said that Jake was in his senior year now, that means he won the national champions.h.i.+p and became the MVP in his third year, so he could win again this year.


In addition, Jake had a record of doing 16 triple Double in a row (the commentator was unaware of the 5 regional champions.h.i.+p games that Jake raised his record to 21) this was something that not even the best players in the current NBA can achieve.


This meant that Jake reached the top of the marathon and won a major marathon while he was 16 while focusing more on basketball, so it became much bigger news for everyone.


Jake didn"t know that everything about him had been investigated by commentators and was in the last km, for Jake this was the longest 4 minutes of his life, it was a different thrill to win a marathon where many of the best in the world partic.i.p.ated.


Jake had to say that it felt better than winning the national champions.h.i.+p with his basketball team, maybe it"s the difference of winning a champions.h.i.+p with one team and winning a race alone or because the race had the best and basketball was just the best. High school players.


So Jake kept running and the closer he got to victory the better he felt, when he finally pa.s.sed the track first he finally relaxed, he looked at the time on the transparent screen and said 2 hours and 9 minutes.


Jake slowed down and finished the race three minutes later than he could before, but if he really worked hard, Jake thought he could run in less than 2 hours and 4 minutes, after all, it was exciting to beat a record at one time or another.


Jake was very happy to have won and very proud to have done it without the help of the stamina bar, he was happy to hear the cheering of the fans in this race.


As soon as he calmed down Jake felt his legs were sore and he was very tired, Jake could see the doctors around, but he wasn"t that bad, Jake ate a stamina bar and took a bottle of water from Tiffany"s hands that had come to greet him.


So he felt his energy recover and the muscles in his leg relaxed a lot from relieving the pressure, so Jake felt he could run another 20 km if his legs could hold on so Jake walked normally to a designated place for him.


The doctors saw that Jake was fine and began to prepare to receive the other athletes who would come later, who was most surprised by this was Tiffany who saw how tired Jake was before and after taking the water and eating something seemed rested again.


Tiffany thought Jake was more mysterious the more she knew him, how could someone so young do so many different things so well, she couldn"t even think it was back in the past because that was only part of the reason, the other was the system.


She was very happy that Jake had won this marathon and that his prediction turned out to be correct, but she was more shocked than happy, after all even she who knew Jake was thinking it was amazing just as the commentator reacted.


She wanted to talk to him for a while, but Jake was dragged into an anti-doping test as soon as the race was over, it seemed the event organizers feared that Jake would run away with how fast they brought him to take the exam.


After all, he was consuming performance-enhancing substances was the only thing the organization could think of for Jake to have won this marathon since it was the first time he had run.


Jake was the only one who was cool about it, he knew he ran as fair as he could, but it proved that Jake was right to run a major marathon before joining the Olympics.


Because if even a national compet.i.tion like this already thought Jake was stealing the Olympics would be much more complicated, then he would try the New York marathon and after those two marathons, no one could suspect that he was just running.


After taking the exam Jake went near Tiffany, the corridors were still coming so the organization would be slow to set the stage for the awards, so Jake had time to over and didn"t want to communicate with the people in the organization who thought he was stealing in the marathon.


Tiffany was calm too, she knew Jake wasn"t stupid about using substances for such a marathon when he still had basketball and several things that could be affected by it.


"Congratulations Jake, I thought you really could win this marathon, but honestly I was very surprised by that result."


"I told you that I would try to race to win, but this is just the beginning, I want to run and New York marathon and then the Olympics, but I have to worry about the state champions.h.i.+p soon too."


"I believe you can do that, I"ll say Matthew did an incredible favor for Clara and me, if he hadn"t introduced you to us it would be a pity, and to think that at first Clara thought he was doing Matthew a favor, she now knows it"s the opposite."


They talked for a while and then the organization came to call Jake for the awards, the people of the organization were a little embarra.s.sed after all they were so suspicious that Jake was using illicit substances that almost dragged him to take the exam.


When they saw that Jake was clean everyone was very embarra.s.sed, yet they sent the samples to the labs for a closer look, but seeing how calm Jake looked they were wrong, so Jake was washed to the place of the awards with the others. that was in the first place.


Jake saw Eamonn Martin who had been the winner in his past life and now was second, Jake felt a little uncomfortable for a moment and then recovered, he already knew that to be the best he would have to change many things and leave many. winners in a story that only he knew.


Even though Jake greeted Eamonn Martin before climbing to the first place podium, it was all very exciting for him to hear the national anthem and pick up the $ 100,000 prize.


This money was important to the plans Jake was having in a short period of time, now he had 300,000 to make an investment if he could after that Jake said goodbye to Tiffany and returned to the hotel to rest, but before they agreed to have dinner together to celebrate this victory.


Tiffany was very happy about all this because Jake had tried his best to show off his uniform with the sponsors and Tiffany"s company ended up being the highlight for being in the supporting marathon, and Clara"s company also for giving Jake the clothes and sneakers. was using.


It really was another totally free advertis.e.m.e.nt for everyone who saw Jake who had won this marathon, Tiffany was thinking that John who had accepted well that Tiffany was the one to stay in the marathon was happy and very sorry at the same time now.


Glad that Jake made an unexpected advertis.e.m.e.nt for his company and sad that he didn"t insist on being present at this marathon with Tiffany anymore.
