1 January 2021 - Today is the 31st anniversary of our last victory at the Mumbles Rugby Club new year's day charity wheelbarrow race, we won this two or three times. This particular year, we turned up this year with our sleek new racing outfits and it was a nappy for the three of us (Jeff Rees, front, me in the middle and Jeff JRG in the rear as we broke our own course record. We covered the 2.5 mile course in just over 12 minutes making the pace a touch under 6 minutes a mile. The rules were that one person had to sit in the barrow at all times when it was moving but unfortunately for JRG his racing pace was a little slower than that so we made him sit in the barrow the whole way so that Jeff Rees and I could take it in turns to push. With the temperature being around 1 or 2 degrees by the end poor Jeff was almost blue. |
