You Know Its A Great Sporting Event If You Can Win While Unconscious

We love cheese, we just aren't sure that we love cheese as much as some people do. We have talked about our fascination with the cheese wheel race that happens across the pond in England. The actual name is the Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake. It's an annual event in England, where people race down a VERY steep, 200-yard-long hill chasing a wheel of Double Gloucester cheese. Well, this year's event happened yesterday, and a Canadian woman named Delaney Irving won the women's race, despite falling and being knocked unconscious on her way down, and rolling across the finish line. Any race you can win while not being conscious is a great race in our book! Delaney didn't realize she won until later, when she woke up in the medical tent. She said, "I remember running, then bumping my head, and then I woke up in the tent. I still don't really believe it, but it feels great."  Check out her race here:
