Jake was happy with his performance on the basketball team Tar Heels, he was known as one of the best college basketball players and the best freshman of the year, was likely until he could win this year's awards.
But he was also unhappy because of his year as a marathon runner, this is a pivotal year for Jake in basketball, it was his first year on the Tar Heels team and even as he started the games he didn't know if he had the confidence of Coach Smith.
So he predicted that he would have to miss a few races this year to get the coach's approval, so on February 1st he missed the first marathon he intended to participate in the year.
It was the Tokyo marathon, the truth was that although the system had given a reward to every major marathon that Jake won the concept of major marathon at that time was still different from the future, these marathons were not yet recognized by the athletic association and did not give Special rewards.
