A brutal race for a wheel of cheese left one winner briefly unconscious—but when she woke up, victory was sweet.
Daredevils apparently flew in from far and wide. In addition to Irving, Philadelphian Nick Penrose also flew in from North America for the adrenaline-pumping challenge.
As for what these races actually look like? Well, it’s about what you’d expect: basically a re-enactment of that stampede scene from, except instead of wildebeests it’s a gaggle of frenzied humans scrambling down a grassy hill in pursuit of cheese. In the end, Matt Crolla—the 28-year-old who won the first race of the afternoon—perhaps said it best. “I’m glad I’m pretty conscious and I’ve not got many serious injuries,” he said. And when asked how he trained for this?
“I don’t think you can train for it, can you, really?” he said with a smile. “It’s just being an idiot.”
