I have been toying with the idea of posting this all morning !

I don't have a wife but for those on here that do, how do you fancy this ?

Hmmmm........we might give it a bash; we could swap over at 250m mark. :o)

Even if I could choose the wife to carry (from a selection on offer), I would have to say 'no'. Soon after our marriage (when I was young and fit), I carried my wife across the threshold of our house, but I then had to say 'that's far enough, my love. You'll have to walk upstairs.'

lol BB !

[Barmaid]

lol @ JtH. I think that's an unfair advantage.

Anyway, I am reporting this post for sexist content. Where is the husband carrying one ;)

Reminds me of my late Father, he won a bottle of whisky at a party once , the MC offered the prize to the first man to reach the stage with his wife's tights/stockings over his shoulder.

Dad picked up Mum pt her over his shoulder and ran.

Mind you when they married and he carried her over the threshold he was believed to have said " Blinking heck, I married a jockey,"

No need to go to Belarus

You can borrow mine, Mikey. :)

[gness]

We do this every year, Mikey......and we're fairly flexible about the wife bit.....so I'm free if you are...... ;-)

[mikey4444]

lol everybody...I am not sure my heart would allow me take part these days !

Wife carrying, bog swimming...

As the old saying goes "When you are absolutely crap at real sports, invent a comedic one to take the glare off our crapness"

Or something along those lines.

[ummmm]

My OH could carry me with one arm.

Not much different to army PE tests where you carry another soldier over 100 metres.

[douglas9401]

I'm all for trying new things but I draw the line at post-carry sex with a hairy ersed squaddie. :)

[Barmaid]

Douglas, I nearly had my Pimms come out my nose then!

[Zacs-Master]

You'd be a lot lighter with one arm ummmm.

[Hopkirk]

Boy they really know how to enjoy themselves in Eastern Europe.

This looks good fun too. Perhaps you could combine the two.
