World Wife Carrying Championships Preperation
Forget about Qatar 2022 or the Olypics.. This is the real McCoy ....
I have already begun training for Finland... Anyone else interested ???
A Maine couple has taken the crown in the North American Wife Carrying Championship over a course that featured a muddy water hole and two log obstacles.
Published: 9:46PM BST 11 Oct 2009
Dave and Lacey Castro of Lewiston came in first among 41 teams to win Saturday's competition at Sunday River ski resort in Newry.
They covered the 278-yard course in 54.45 seconds.
For their effort, the couple won 97-pound Mrs Castro's weight in beer and five times her weight in cash - which amounts to $485 (£306).
Teams from 11 states competed in the 10th annual race in which a man has to carry a woman, or vice versa, over an obstacle course.
As the North American champs, the Castros are eligible to compete in the world championships in Finland next July.
I can see that the seriousness of this competition is lost upon most of you.
We are talking WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP here.
I look forward to sane QLers to participate in this event which could put Qatar on the World Sporting Map.
that is also a valid point ;-) persoanlly,i'd prefer to carry his credit card while he carries my shopping bags :-D LOL
