  Richard Blake-Smith and his partner Anna beat Vytautas Kirkliauskas of Lithuania, carrying his wife, Neringa Kirliauskiene.
  Rich said: "We put in a whole week's work, running around the athletics track near where we live - and it's paid off"
  "We were pushed hard, especially by the Lithuanians there."
  Competitors must tackle a 380-metre course, hurdling over haystacks, scrabbling up a steep slope, and dodging water pistols.
  You don't need to be married to take part.
  The race saw all combinations of competitors - men carrying women, men carrying men and one woman carrying a woman.
  Rich and Anna will now compete at the World Championships in Finland in July.
