This is an old story, but I had never heard it before.
At age 61, sheep farmer Cliff Young won a 500+ mile race because he didn't know you're supposed to stop and sleep once in a while. |

I saw somebody telling the story on a PBS show recently, I loved it.
The guy kept saying "all the professional runners knew....." , then he would follow up with "but Cliff didn't know this, so he..." and the crowd would crack up over and over.
