@Nedbank I am trying to reach your fraud department. The customer care consultant I spoke to earlier held me on the line for 30 minutes, trying to play delay tactics, without assisting. I have recorded the call.

@BowenBoxing My favourite Mayweather fight. No running, holding...etc. Stood in the pocket against a bigger fighter and harder punisher in a weight class preferred by Cotto.

@Abramjee @CityofCT Couldn't agree with Alderman Smith more. What a complete tosser for blatantly littering!

In 1983, a 61 year old potato farmer, Cliff Young, in work boots entered Australia’s most brutal ultramarathon against world class athletes. He had no idea you were supposed to sleep during. He won by 10 hours.

Young was sixty one years old when he showed up to the start of Australia’s Westfield Sydney to Melbourne Ultramarathon wearing loose overalls and rubber work boots. The race was nearly six hundred miles long and normally attempted only by elite endurance runners who trained for years. Cliff was a potato farmer who spent his days chasing sheep on foot across thousands of acres. He believed that was enough preparation.

The other runners assumed he would collapse within hours. Cliff did not know that competitors typically ran eighteen hours and then slept six. So he simply jogged through the night with his awkward shuffle, moving slowly but never stopping. While the frontrunners slept, Cliff kept gliding forward mile after mile until he found himself in the lead. Crowds began gathering along the route, cheering for the quiet farmer in his mud stained boots.

After five days, fifteen hours, and four minutes, Cliff crossed the finish line first. He had shattered the previous course record by almost two days and won by ten full hours. When he learned there was prize money, he immediately gave it all away to the other runners, saying they had worked just as hard.

Cliff Young became an unlikely national hero, not because he was the fastest, but because he was the only one stubborn enough to never stop moving.

Cliff’s unique running style became known as the “Young Shuffle” and modern ultramarathoners still study it today because it conserves energy and reduces muscle fatigue.

One thing; you can't accuse Crawford of running #CanelovsCrawford

[Ronald Masinda @RONALDMASINDA]

Crawford is winning easily #CanelovsCrawford

The #AllBlacks must be licking their wounds. The #Springboks are not back-to-back World Cup champs for nothing. #RugbyChampionship
