Chapter 263 Starting The Season For Sports 5

Chapter 263 Starting the Season for Sports 5

That meant running a normal road depending on the weather could be better than running on a professional track, and Chicago was a great track to race, proof of which was that the world record had been broken four times in this marathon.

After Jake had passed the 35 km he had not yet slowed down, Jake was feeling good and just a little tired, as he trained every day he knew his own body well and knew he could keep running like that.

"He has already passed the 35 km race, still maintaining a strong pace, now just over 7 km to finish this marathon, even if he slowed down he would still win this marathon."

"That's true, it's amazing to see how Jake can keep a steady pace of running, it's like he's looking at a watch, he has little difference in his average running speed."

"He just seems to slow down on the toughest stretches on the track to saving energy, he's not wasting too much time on the back-up, that's the benefit of being first in a marathon."

"Jake is over 3 minutes ahead of the runner-up, I think it was better for him to slow down his running pace."

"The problem is that he doesn't know how much advantage he has for his opponents, Paul also comes at a fast pace."

"I think Jake may also be trying to break the world record in this marathon if he's trying to do that with his current time he can really do it."

This commentator spoke only of the possibility, but soon they saw that it was really possible. Jake had just over 7 km of marathon and clearly seemed to be comfortable with his current running pace.

Even if he slowed the race too much he could still break the WR, so they were excited about that possibility and the viewers watching at home would be too.

Jake was really trying to break the world record in this marathon, he saw that his running pace was good and he was comfortable running for over 50 km at this pace, yet to be cautious he slowed down the running pace.

After all, it was just over a month since he was running at this pace and he didn't want to push himself too hard and risk repeating what happened in New York, commentators realized that Jake had slowed his pace.

After Jake passed the 38 km he had clearly slowed his running pace a lot, it was still too fast, but it was too big a difference to be a common thing, anyone who expected Jake to break the world record began to get worried.

After all, it was really amazing to see someone breaking a world record, it would be a time for history even if Jake's record was ever broken, and commentators, even more, wanted it to happen.

"Just over 5 km to the end of this marathon, Jake suddenly slowed his running pace a few kilometers back and we don't know why."

"Jake always has this tendency to slow his pace in the final km of the race, but he seemed to be very comfortable with his previous race pace and he was noticeably slower."

"He lost almost 30 seconds of time compared to the pace he was running normally, it's a little worrying and we hope it's just a running tactic."

"If it's a tactic it's too risky, he may lose the chance of breaking the world record like that, breaking a record like this is something that can't be done just skillfully and has to be very lucky."

"As I said before, he may not know he has a chance to break the record and if he slows his pace this way he can safely win, maybe that's the best winning strategy he has ever thought."

Jake didn't know what the commentators were talking about, he knew very well what he was doing, he also knew the time it took to break the world record and also knew Paul's total race time was second.

So he consciously slowed down and was prepared to win by breaking the world record when he can relax his tense muscles by slowing down the race he felt he would surely get what he wanted in this race, this year's marathon was in the hands of Jake.

By the time he crossed the 42 km he was still a huge advantage to the runner-up and was in the final meters to finish this marathon, he saw that he had a great marathon time and was celebrating the victory internally.

"It's amazing, who's at home is seeing this amazing feat of Jake that is breaking the world record, he's only 17 years old and breaking that record he puts his name among the top marathoners in history."

"I'm excited to see that too, the current world record belongs to Ethiopian Belayneh Dinsamo, and was set in 1988 on April 17 at the Rotterdam Marathon in the Netherlands, with a time of 2 hours, 6 minutes and 50 seconds."

"It's been 8 years since this record was set and today it will be broken by Jake by a few more meters, 33 years since an American broke the record last time."

"This year is historic for Jake, he broke the Atlanta Olympic record this year of Carlos Lopes of Portugal in 1984, and now breaks the world record a few months later."

"He must also be the youngest to break those two records at just 17, this year he has to win the AIMS World Athlete of the Year Award if Jake doesn't win anyone he deserves."

"And now Jake finishes this Chicago marathon in 1996 that's going to be history, he finished the race with the time of 2 hours, 6 minutes and 2 seconds, he officially breaks his now WR."

"Really amazing, he's going to be the future of athletics and already a great athlete at the present, he's still attending college and should still be playing basketball, plus I think he'll try to win again in New York in less than 1 month."

"See, Jake already has some fans in today's marathon, they have a banner written saying Jake is Captain America, Hahaha I think this nickname suits him, he's not even tired after such a marathon."

"For the few who don't know, Captain America is a comic book hero from Marvel, an American soldier who was physically improved in a lab and got super strength and other powers, except in the comic he is Steve Rogers and not Jake Hahaha."

"So Jake is the American Super Soldier who came to win a lot of marathons for our country, I have to admit it makes sense, if he really gets into the NBA he'll already have a new nickname."

Jake didn't know he had been given a new nickname that would stay with him forever in the future, he was very happy to have broken and broken the world record, all the training he did was worth it when Jake won.

After a few minutes, the other runners were arriving, the other 7 who ran with Jake in the group managed to finish all in the top 50, the fastest of them finishing fifteenth in this marathon.

They were impressed when they saw that Jake had won the marathon, they knew how hard it was to run at the pace Jake was running, then they were more surprised when they learned that Jake had broken the world record, now they could tell this story to their children in the future.

John who accompanied Jake in Chicago and was hoping that in the crowd near the finish line was so happy that his eyes sparkled, he expects a chance that Jake could really win in Chicago and that was very good for his company.

But neither could he expect Jake to break the world record in this race, so Jake would surely make the list of the best marathoners in history, and Jake was only 17 so he could enjoy a lifetime of glory and make even more of the sport.

After a while Jake went to the podium and received the prize for being first place and $ 150,000, $ 100,000 for victory and $ 50,000 for the world record, the organizers treated Jake very well for winning a second time next time year they would call him again.

After taking some pictures and answering some reporters Jake went to talk to John, all this time Jake had a huge smile on his face and was very happy to have won, this was just the beginning of Jake's winning season in sports.

By the middle of next year's vacation, Jake would still have plenty of basketball games and still participate in many other marathons, if Jake could win anything that played this time would really be history.

"Congratulations on beating Jake, amazing you could break the world record, I always trusted you would win, but I didn't expect a record."

"Thanks, John, I appreciate your support coming here, now I'm going back to the hotel if you need anything to talk to me."

"Of course, good rest for you."

They weren't friends even if they worked together, Jake had won and even talked about John's company, so John was pleased with that and could come back with a smile to report the good results to the board.

Jake went back to the hotel and picked up the phone to tell the good news to his friends he wasn't tired after the marathon because his training was so much harder than that, and mentally he got used to the pressure after the Olympics.

"Hi Tiffany, I'm calling to let you know I've won the marathon."

"I already knew from my employees, congratulations Jake, congratulations on the world record too, you were the best thing that has happened in my life in recent years."

"Hahaha you say that because your company is doing well to sponsor me, I want all the best for you and Clara, you guys supported me at my hardest time, thanks to you guys that I took my mom out of her horrible job and I could start making money."

"You've paid everything we did for you a long time ago, Jake."

"I know I already paid, but now that you are in a difficult situation that you cannot invest in the company I want to help, in a few more years I will not be able to continue with the sponsorship agreement, I hope to help now."
