  I find this true of so few actual races.

    The longer the race, the more true it becomes.

        Upon being awarded the prize of A$10,000 (equivalent to $36,011 in 2022), Young said that he did not know there was a prize and that he felt bad accepting it, as each of the other five runners who finished had worked as hard as he did—so he gave A$3,000 to 41-year-old Joe Record and A$4,000 to the other runners, keeping only A$3,000 for himself.[2] Despite attempting the event again in later years, Young was unable to repeat this performance or claim victory again.[8]

      Counter-point: he won the race by being the fastest runner. But I grant you it took him awhile to decide to run the race relative to average life spans and the likely typical marathon runner, so we can just call it a draw.

  It was our evolutionary success as a human animal. We were never the fastest, strongest or even the most numerous at the start. But working slowly as a cooperative community, we conquered every liveable space on the planet. We can do the same online.
