Victory by attrition.
A neat story (read warmly from inside at the home computer). A group of guys in BFE Wisconsin, where temps dipped 15 below zero, decide to do a 64-miler. A group of about 44 headstrong harriers started at noon.
At 5 a.m. the next day - as the leader was approaching mile 40 - race officials stopped him and said, "you've won."
The runner says, i'm feeling great but i've got 24 more miles to go. Race officials said no you don't, you're the only one still running.
