Chapter 186 A Marathon to Enter History 7 (1/2)

By the time Jake passed 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 finishing 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 participate in the marathon, he had also made a television commercial.

Also, Jake was the last MVP of the national high school championship, 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 championship 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 championship 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 participated.

Jake had to say that it felt better than winning the national championship with his basketball team, maybe it's the difference of winning a championship 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 passed 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.
