Athlete will set the handles down, turn and pick the handles twice again before carrying them 40ft back to the starting line.  Time stops when the front of the handles have crossed the line. Only the front of the handles need to cross the line at either end, but both handles must cross the line and not just one. No sliding of farmers handles allowed (2 second penalty for each slide). 

1 drop per direction allowed.

Keg cannot be shouldered and must be a front carry. Athlete will load the keg over the yoke bar, not THROW the keg over the bar at my volunteers. Judges call to add a 2 second penalty for a keg being thrown too aggressively at the volunteer. Athlete should be able to load the keg over the bar and aim for the crash pad without having to slow down speed.
