Women got to flex their muscles and think their way out of problems at the inaugural Pretty Tough Sheila Challenge, hosted by Hibiscus Coast Raiders on Saturday, March 18.
Co-organiser, Jo Gleeson, says she and Sheree Jennings put the event together to give back to the many women who support the club, by having a little fun.
Six teams of four women took up the challenge, facing 10 activities such as removing a car tyre and re-fitting it in a set time, reversing a trailer through a course in the fastest time, building a kitset Wendy house, hammering nails, kicking a field goal and shooting a BB gun at a target.
A ‘mystery event’ was added that involved eating a dry Weetbix, washing it down with a beer and running around a cone to tag the next team member.
Jo says the events challenged participants to do things they would not do in everyday life.
“They loved it, and so did the spectators,” Jo says. “It was so much fun and we got a lot of suggestions to make the next one bigger and better.”
She says they hope to run it again and indications are they could get twice as many participants next time.
