South African centenarian Philip Rabinowitz earned his spot in the Guinness Book of World Records last week after tearing across the 100 meter finish line in 30.86 seconds, making him the oldest, fastest dude on the planet.
Crazy thing about the race is that the stopwatch snafu’d on his first try that day. Instead of taking it as a sign that running around is an easy way to break his 100 year-old hips, he went back and broke the record. We don’t know why we find this story so compelling, but it gives much hope to our aching 30-something bones.
