Cliff Young (athlete)
Albert Ernest Clifford "Cliff" Young, OAM (8 February 1922〔2 November 2003) was an Australian potato farmer〔 and athlete from Beech Forest, Victoria, best known for his unexpected win of the inaugural Sydney to Melbourne Ultramarathon in 1983 at 61 years of age.
==Early life==
Born the eldest son of Mary and Albert Ernest Young on 8 February 1922, Albert Ernest Clifford Young grew up on a farm in Beech Forest in southwestern Victoria.〔 The family farm was approximately 2,000 acres in size with approximately 2,000 sheep.〔("Cliff Young – the farmer who inspired a nation" )〕 Young would round up the stock on foot, reckoning that it was the easiest method.
In late 1982, after training for months around the Otway Ranges, Young attempted to break Siegfried "Ziggy" Bauer's then world record for of 11 days and 23 hours. The attempt took place in Colac's Memorial Square. Young had to abandon the world-record attempt just after half way at 805km. Reflecting on the failed attempt, Young wrote that he and his support team were inexperienced and ill-prepared.〔
