《Be happy with sports 》Chapter 331: The Major Marathons 5
Advertisement
"I agree, I'm sure this is one reason why Jake likes to race more in America than other countries and another reason that happens is that it's so much easier for Jake to race in America than to travel to other countries just to run."
"There is also the crowd at the venue, in America everyone is sure to cheer more for Jake than for the other athletes and that's an excellent motivation for an athlete."
All the reasons the commentators said were things Jake thought before running, for all these reasons he realized that it was much better to race in America than in other countries, but he would still run sometimes if he wanted to and had time.
After 27 km the other athletes in Jake's group decided to slow down and move away from Jake who was in the lead, they could run longer with Jake, but if they did they would get very tired in the final kilometers of the marathon and could lose positions.
Now that they separated from the leadership group all 9 of these athletes were rivals for the top positions in this marathon, everyone knew Jake was first, but they could try to compete in the top 20 positions.
Jake's friends who were watching at home cheered for Jake and were happy that he was first again, they learned never to hear the negative things commentators said about Jake because he always surprised at marathons.
It was amazing to think that Jake could win this Boston marathon after a week of winning in London, and these two marathons were unusual and were hotly contested marathons around the world.
Besides, Jake had already won everything he could win in basketball season this year, so everyone could know that it was true what Jake said he hated losing, which made him always win.
It was strange how something as surprising as winning such a big marathon became expected when Jake participated, no one could doubt that Jake was one of the best marathon runners of the last decades.
After reaching 31 km of running Jake slowly began to slow his racing pace, he already knew he should not break any records in this marathon and agreed that it was better to save more stamina if he could.
Everyone who knew Jake already knew that he always did something like this at the end of every marathon and so they were quiet, some experts didn't know why Jake did it because it seemed like he could take a few miles longer if he tried.

But no matter how much they thought they would never guess that Jake did it on purpose so as not to push himself and excel in marathons, Jake thought he was still too young and so should show others that he was slowly improving.
And that was working so far, so many experts showed Jake's incredible progress in the last marathons, even now that he wasn't running at such a fast time as last year's last marathons the experts said it was because Jake was tired of the season of basketball
That's why Jake liked these sports reporters so much, they all wanted to get the audience's attention by telling fans about their theories and saying that was what happened to Jake, so Jake just had to pick what he wanted and give the credits to this reporter and no one would suspect him.
After going through the 41 km race Jake was already calmer with this marathon and saw that contrary to what everyone said he was not that tired and could still run several km.
"Really impressive, yet another marathon won by Jake Smith here in Boston, and just over a week after winning the London marathon, Jake shows how truly the best in the world in marathons today is."
"That's right, many questioned whether it was right or possible for Jake to win two marathons in such a short time, but today we're seeing Jake really achieve what many thoughts were impossible."
"This has been an amazing year for Jake as an athlete after all he won, he could wrap up this year with this marathon and everyone would still say he was great, but we are still at the beginning of the year in April, I'm sure Jake will try other marathons this year."
"That's right, I just hope he rests for a while before the next marathon and doesn't try to keep proving that he has excellent Resistance, after all, Jake is still studying at university this month."
"Hahaha, it's true, I hope Jake gets a little more rest now because he has achieved incredible achievements this year and is only 18 years old, he can relax because he is very young and can still win many more marathons in the coming years."
Jake won the Boston marathon and soon after ate a stamina bar, he felt that he didn't need to and could even run further after that marathon, but it was better to prevent any injury and eat a stamina bar since he has so many in history.

After eating the stamina bar Jake felt every muscle in his body relaxing, he felt great and relieved about it, it had been a long time since he had eaten a stamina bar because he didn't think he needed it after 40 Resistance points.
But it seemed like it was good for him to relax the muscles that were always tense after all the daily training, Jake was very happy to win and celebrated a lot while sitting a little to feel the muscles relaxed.
Jake didn't know that a picture of him sitting with a relieved smile on his face would be the cover of many sporting magazines in the coming months, from the scene it looked like Jake was tired and under pressure and could relax after winning this marathon.
Jake won with a time of 2 hours 7 minutes 24 seconds, it was a little longer than in London and Jake felt it was a good time for such a marathon, he didn't need to break the records of all the marathons in the world as I earned no reward points for it.
After a while, the marathon organization called on Jake to lift the trophy and receive the prize for winning that marathon, Jake received the $ 150,000 prize and celebrated well after this marathon.
The same day Jake returned to university in the next few days earned a break from Coach Smith and was practically obliged to take a break from his daily marathon training by his mother.
Coach Smith and Eva saw the photo in Jake's newspapers looking relieved after winning in Boston and decided he needed to rest, Jake still had a handsome, photogenic face and so the newspapers and magazines that published these photos were very much bought by American women.
Jake couldn't explain why he seemed relieved and had to go a week without training again, that wasn't really a problem for him who was always training, but Jake didn't like feeling that he was doing nothing.
One day, while Jake was having a lecture at the university on economics William, was not around because it was the teachers who chose the groups to foster friendship among the students.
In Jake's group, there was a boy who didn't seem interested in studying and a student who looked like he just wanted to get away from this lecture, and the last member of Jake's group was a young man of Asian descent.
This last young man seemed interested in the lecture and sometimes also looked at Jake a lot, Jake realized that and found it a little strange and just hoped that this young man was a fan of his and not interested in him any other way.
After a while the students had a break from talking to their classmates about what they heard, the woman and the other guy left and only Jake stayed with the guy who seemed interested in him.
"Hi, my name is Haruto Watanabe and Watanabe is my family name."
"My name is Jake Smith."
"I know that I'm a big fan of yours, I like basketball a lot and I think the way you're already amazing, I'm sure in a few years you'll be one of the best players in the NBA, can you give me an autograph?"
"Sure, so you're a fan of mine, I hope what you say happens and I can play well in the NBA after a few years."
After that the two talked for a while, but not about the lecture as the teachers wanted, Haruto was Japanese and his family had moved to the United States a few years ago.
Haruto's father is named Eiji Watanabe and is the manager of one of Toyota's factories in Charlotte, North Carolina not far from the university, Haruto is 20 and a sophomore studying at the university.
Haruto's older brother will take his father's place in the factory in the future, so Haruto's father wanted him to study to have a good job in the United States, so Haruto said he wanted to study at UNC because it was close to home and his father accepted it.
In fact, Haruto wanted to study at this university because he was a big basketball fan and wanted to see the team he played Michael Jordan in so that he might see some future NBA star play and luckily in his sophomore year of college he saw Jake playing.
Still, Haruto was a responsible man and was studying hard to get a job in the future, after talking with Haruto for a while Jake realized that he was very smart and could work with him in the future.
Jake no longer thought about inviting William to work for him because William wanted to work on wall street in the future, but he could call Haruto to work with him in a few years.

A Nerd's Wet Dream Come True (Tossing an OC into Marvel) V2.
Andrew William. A perfectly average boring name for a perfectly average and boring boy. He wasn't particularly smart nor gifted. Not in academics nor in sports. He wasn't even as good as the other losers and "nerds" in his school. He could not remember the expansive lore of Star Wars, he could not recite the dialogue of Startek nor pull off any cool one-liners and quotes, and he couldn't beat the final level in most games without resorting to cheating or mods. All he had was half-assed knowledge of pop culture and comics, but the one thing he was good at, his one and only pride and calling in life? Making Youtube videos. No, it wasn't sad! He was actually quite popular, honest! He made videos of adventure and nature, although it was mostly of the creepy variety. Abandoned hospitals, old mines, long tunnels, and undiscovered caverns. And as ironic as it was predictable, it would, of course, turn out to be the reason that he died. Well, at least he could take comfort in dying doing what he loved, not many people these days could say the same, you know? The concept comforted him at least, but it turns out death is not always as permanent as people liked to think, because Andrew somehow found himself in New York City of all places after falling to his certain death in the Devil's hole, Death Valley Nevada., only thing was it certainly wasn't the New York that he knew of. The Fantastic Four? Stark Industry? Captain America's biography? Oh boy, and did he mention he's no longer human? His Asian friends had introduced him to the wonders of Isekai novels and mangas, but isn't the order a little messed up? Where's his meeting with the sexy and nice Goddess? Where was his intro or tutorial?? Explanation plz I'm a noob at cross-dimensional travel! Help? Setting? Menu? Status? May I please get to pick my own cheat power? No? I'm stuck as a virus? Well, At least the Prototype Virus was pretty darn cool and OP. Just not as op as being able to casually break the sound barrier in my sneakers or bench pressing the earth, but I'll just have to make do. Please don't be some fucked up Marvel continuity where Nazis and Hydra won or some shit. Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore
