In the spirit of the Winter Olympics I have discovered a new sport I strongly think they should add!! I have been training for at least 5 years, but really started the hard core training this winter. The Olympic Ice and Snow Stroller push.
YEAH!! I would at least get a bronze medal!
Here's how the event could look.
Stage 1: Loading kids up in the stroller in full snow gear. Point deductions for missing boots, hats, gloves etc.
Stage 2: pushing stroller through freshly fallen snow, about 1-2 inches. Point deductions for any swerving.
Stage 3: pushing stroller 3 blocks after side walks have been shoveled, but were plowed in by each street causing several mountains of snow to climb. Point deductions for getting wheels stuck in mound. Added points if you can shovel the mound quickly enough to not loose any time.
Stage 4: pushing stroller through ice and sludge as some snow has melted and refrozen, you never know where the black patches of ice will be or if it's a thin layer of ice with a large puddle underneath. Point deductions for any falls or stroller skidding. Other deductions could include a popped tire on a sharp icicle.
Final Stage: dodging school aged kids as they dart out a building. Point deductions for running into them or over any feet. Bonus points if you can keep a straight path.
I think you could even have 4 separate events: Single stroller, and Double stroller events. With a short run (just stage 1-5), and a long run (doing stage 1-5 then 5-1 back home) event for each stroller type. You could go crazy and have a category for jogging strollers and a separate one for regular strollers.
So who's with me? should I call up the Winter Olympic board or who ever organizes the events?
