Chapter 205 A Little Crisis 4 (1/2)

Jake was second and so got $ 60,000, so he had almost $ 500,000 to invest in something, he had already defined how much money he would invest in Cisco shares every year and the rest was for something else.

Jake did it because otherwise he could be tempted to invest all the money he had in stock, that wasn't good for him, even if Jake was sure he would make it he might still need the money for other things.

Just like the house, he would soon have to buy for him and his mother if he was out of money he would have to sell his shares to buy this house which would be a loss for Jake.

As soon as the race was over Jake ate a stamina bar and regained his energy as well as relaxed his muscles a little, soon after the doctors arrived and Jake asked to go to the podium and get the reward before going to the hospital.

As Jake had still run a few hundred meters after suffering the injury and the doctors found nothing serious about Jake's right leg they allowed it.

Jake did everything he had to do and greeted German who just won, German seemed a little guilty of winning because Jake had suffered an injury, but Jake congratulated him sincerely because he knew that if he wasn't here German would still win.

After that Jake still went to the ambulance hospital because he had a lot of pain in his right leg, so the doctors quickly went to the hospital because for an athlete to find out quickly what an injury could save his career.

While on his way to the hospital Jake was thinking about what happened in the marathon that was just over, Jake was feeling a lot of leg pain and just insisted on staying at the awards to sort it out and be able to go home after leaving the hospital.

He didn't want to have to go places after leaving the hospital because he stopped doing some things because of the pain, but Jake felt it was better to feel a lot of leg pain than not to feel his legs within his past life.

Analyzing the marathon Jake realized that the main culprit for his defeat was himself, even though this unknown problem affected his marathon performance as it disrupted the state championship final.

Jake could still have won if he had been careful just as he still won the game in the final by choosing the best way to play, the problem with this marathon was that Jake had been too hasty to do things.

After all, he knew better than anyone that he had no need to try to improve his running time while he completed his first marathons, because with a time before when he was running in Chicago he could finish the marathon in 2 hours and just over 6 minutes

That time would be enough to break the records of many marathons or even the world record, but Jake forced to improve his time already in his second marathon and eventually lost the chance to win.

After all Jake already had enough stamina to run nearly 60 km at his previous speed, so even if this unknown problem got in the way of this marathon, he could still win easily.

The doctors gave him an ice pack so that Jake could begin to recover the muscle damage before he even got to the hospital, of course, Jake only got all this treatment because he was second in the marathon and even won in Chicago.

If you were an unknown athlete even if you had a more serious injury than Jake's, you might have to look for a taxi to go to a hospital.

After arriving at the hospital Jake had all the exams and it was found that his injury was grade 2 and he would only need less than 1-month rest to be able to retrain normally.

So Jake was released from the hospital to go to the hotel, they asked if Jake wanted to stay for a few days to recover at the courtesy hospital since Jake was a famous athlete, but Jake denied when he learned that his injury was not serious.

Jake has already arranged a plane ticket to return to Miami the other day, as he would have to lie a few weeks it was much better to do this at home.

John came to talk and say goodbye to Jake before returning to Miami, Jake thought John would be nervous with Jake for not winning this time and so John's company had less visibility than Tiffany's last time, but it seemed that he was wrong.

”With you, Jake? I was very worried when I saw that you had gone to the hospital after the marathon was over, is the injury serious?”

”It's nothing very serious, I'm fine, in a few weeks I will fully recover, so I'll be 100 percent when the national championship starts next year.”

”That's good, so congratulations on the second place in this marathon, you got an amazing feat of being in the top 3 in two marathons in a row and this time you almost won.”
