#1 49 kg... wife's rather petite. If he had heavier spouse, he could get more beer. ;-)

Let's see, 829 feet in 56.9 seconds. I call BS! Someone has confused meters with feet.

#3 Manolo, yea, you're onto something. With obstacles, no way I could make 250m in 56.9s, in my 20's, with a female 49kg piggybacking on my back, upside down or otherwise. And I was running for school, 1000 and 3000 meters.

I would make in such conditions the first 100m in ~ 25s, the next 100m in ~ 30s and the remaining 50 m in ~ 20s give or take a couple of seconds. Without a female on the back, on a straight track--250m in ~ 33s.

Moral of the above is that sometimes female is a drag. ;-)
