"Inman Mile"
The Inman Mile is an event for time:
The lifter will take a bar onto the shoulders with a weight equal to 150 per cent of the lifter’s bodyweight. The lifter will then carry this weight a distance of one mile.
I figured I would give it a try with a barbell loaded to 50% of my bodyweight, just to see how long it would take. After 100 yards, it was pretty uncomfortable and I moved my arm position around. After 200 yards, I was ready to be done, but wanted to go at least a quarter mile. After a lap I dumped the barbell at a time of 6:11. I think I could have gone further had I used straps to hold onto the barbell. Nowhere in the rules does it prohibit this, but I was informed that the general rules of all-round weightlifting prohibit straps.

Nice little mover that I finished in 16:58. Step back and step forward burpees allowed me to meet the standard even though I was very slow.
