    When the starting gun fired, the pack left the old man in the dust. He shuffled at a turtle’s pace and his hands drooped awkwardly by his hips. Onlookers were afraid he would collapse. But Young had a secret—he didn’t need to sleep.
    In two days, Young slept just three hours and ran 200 miles. When he crossed the finish line, he had beaten the course record by about two days. The closest runner lagged 10 hours behind him.
