Chapter 184 A Marathon to Enter History 5

Thus the game ended with the Elite team winning the regional championship with 30 points of advantage, Jake made another triple Double and finished the game with more than 40 points, Elite players greeted the Brickell team players for the good game.

Then everyone joined and celebrated this victory, even if they won a lot it was always good to win a regional championship trophy, even more, this year they had some more difficult games, it was more exciting.

Jake was also celebrating with his teammates, he was very happy for the win, but it was very strange that this year he did not have his mother to celebrate the victory with him after that final.

He knew that Eva could not be in all the championship finals of his life and certainly would not be in university time, but he hoped to see his mother in the stands to celebrate together.

After all, in this life, Jake was much closer to his mother and got used to being almost always with her, but this time he had to be content to celebrate with his teammates.

After a while, the Elite team was finally called in to receive the first place medals and then Jake raised another trophy for his team and for his school, after celebrating quite a bit Jake was called to receive the regional championship MVP award.

Jake was happy with that, too, and he'd put that trophy back on his prize stand, then everyone celebrated a little more and Jake left home, coming home he did not forget to call his mother.

"Hi Mom, I won the final game, our team won the regional championship."

"Congratulations, my son, I'm sorry I could not be there with you in this game, but I always had confidence that you could win as always, come here today for dinner, Anna also wants to congratulate you."

"Alright Mom, I'll go there later."

So after resting for a while and taking a shower, Jake went to the restaurant, Jake took home on purpose because he knew what time the restaurant was less busy, so Eva, Anna, and even Lola came to find Jake, Eva came first and gave Jake a hug.

"Congratulations again for beating my son, I was distracted all day in the restaurant until you call me, even if I knew you were going to win it's hard to stay calm without being able to watch the game."

"It's true Jake, she was anxious all day today, congratulations on winning the game, I wanted to be there too."

"Thank you mother, for caring about me, thank you too, Anna, for the congratulations."

"I also wanted to say congratulations, Jake, very cool you have won the regional championship in high school, I hope you can win the state championship as well."

"Thank you, Lola, I also hope I keep winning."

Lola really thought it was cool that Jake's team had won the regional championship, after all in the neighborhood she used to live before, there were a lot of young people of Jake's age who played basketball, many of them did not go to school, but those who went there said how difficult it was to win the championship regional, and even more difficult the state championship and later the national championship.

Lola knew that these young men were arrogant and liked to boast a lot, so for these people to say that a championship was difficult, it was because it was really difficult.

Then everyone talked for a while as they sat down at a table and ate, actually everyone just listened as Jake told how the game was after he went to say that he also made another Triple Double and won the MVP award for the championship.

Eva and Anna were already expecting something like that after winning for the fourth time, but Lola was really impressed and began to think that Jake played better than she imagined, Jake was very happy when he saw Lola's reaction, even if he did not like it to show off was good when people recognized how difficult it was to do that.

After that Jake said goodbye to everyone and returned home to rest after all the restaurant would still be open for a few more hours and Jake did not want to disturb anyone.

Anna said that Jake needed to rest well for the next two weeks before the state championship began. Jake did not tell people that next week would be the Chicago marathon run, so he would not have time to rest.

After resting well the other day Jake resumed his normal training, except that he did not train with the school basketball team and only trained basketball in his training space of imagination.

The physical training he was doing was just for the marathon, Jake would have this training for another 5 days and rest one before race day, so Jake would be fully rested on the day of the marathon.

Jake's biggest goal for this marathon was to win without using the bar of stamina, he was already able to win if he used the bar of stamina, with the system Jake learned that it was much more difficult to increase the energy of your body than increase the overall resistance of the muscles in your body.

After all, after more than 6 months of training, he had already strengthened his body muscles to keep running 60 km at a normal speed and 50 km at a speed of competition.

Of course Jake did not know that this had only happened because he tried hard and broke his limits and improved more than normal for this marathon, Jake had to win this and the next marathon so he can enter the Olympics without anyone thinking which was a fraud.

If he entered the Olympics for the first time people might suspect that it was something forged so that a young man could represent his country in the Olympics, after all the Olympics are the maximum event of athletics sports.

But if he could win or be among the first in some internationally recognized marathons people would just think he was a genius, plus there was something else Jake needed to do that would require him to win a marathon.

After a few more days training Jake could see that the system was right on a subject he was ignoring, Jake always did his training after taking classes all day and still doing the training with the basketball team.

As he had become accustomed to this routine and knew that his body was not equal to ordinary people because of the system he thought it did not matter much, but these days even having to attend classes he was not going to training and so he can easily do the 50 km run in 150 minutes.

It had been months since he was chasing this time, now just by not doing the training with the basketball team he can complete the training, this gave much more confidence for Jake to win this marathon.

Two days into the marathon Jake was going on his last day of training, so the other day he would be resting for the marathon at his best, but Tiffany said he would need to talk to him.

So Jake who was confident in winning decided to take more today to rest and so be better for the marathon.

This time they met at another restaurant that was not Eva's restaurant, because as her mother could not watch the marathon, Jake decided not to tell her until he won the race.

So Eva knew only that Jake was marathoning soon, but she could not even imagine it was an international marathon and that Jake planned to win this marathon.

"Hi Jake, sorry for calling you missing a few days for the marathon, you should be concentrating or resting, right?"

"Actually I was training until today, but as you called me I decided to take that day to rest too."

"What? Were you training a few days away for a major competition like that? You have to take at least a week to rest your body to be able to run that great distance, I hope you have the stamina to run that whole marathon."

Jake knew nothing about how the other athletes were preparing for a marathon like this, but his body was different from ordinary people, so he did not have to worry about what others did.

In fact now Jake had the contacts and the money to hire a professional trainer to prepare with the other runners for the day of the competition but he did not do it because he knew that his style of training would be different from the others using the system to improve.

In addition, the coach probably could suspect his improvement that was several times faster than the athletes, in fact, Jake was doing his best to avoid going through national competitions and major training centers for a reason.

He did not want to do a thorough examination so the doctors would not find out that his body was several times stronger than the other athletes and players, let alone that they could record their very fast improvements because that would cause suspicion at all.

As for his strength, his muscles were not very developed, but his strength was very great, this could be explained if Jake said that his physical limits were smaller than in reality.

"Well, if you think you will not have problems, I will not go any further with this subject, after all, who knows your body better is yourself."

"I called you here to give you your uniform for the race, who was to deliver this was Clara, but as I was the one who organized this from the beginning she asked me to bring in, besides, I already prepared some employees to stay at the registered posts from the marathon and give you water all right?"

"I believe you, on test day I'll meet you before the marathon begins."

"Okay then, rest well and do not train as usual."

After that Jake went home to rest well after all the day was coming for a marathon that will go down in history.
