Valentines Twist On The Early Morning Fitness

A Valentines Twist On The Early Morning Fitness Regime…

Listeners of The Rock radio station this morning proved their love for their wives, alongside their love of beer, with the stations annual Wife Carrying competition for Valentines Day. Forget giving flowers and chocolates, men were encouraged to carry their wives around an obstacle course on Mission Bay Beach to win them their wives weight in beer.

In its sixth year, the race took place this morning with couples attempting a variety of (carrying) positions; from the classic fireman’s to the new favourite the upside-down piggy back.
