"The North's next Rogaine is Bush Rogaine commencing at 0900 on July 9th at Koah, just 45 minutes west of Cairns. 2 category choices are available: 6 hour hike rogaine [ map handout at 0800] and a 3 hour hike rogaine [map handout 1100]. A challenging yet beautiful area has been chosen by the course setting team of Brett Smith, Luke Rapley and Adam Fletcher. Teams of 2 to 5 may enter and the events will be followed by presentations, a BBQ and Random Draw prizes."
This sounds like a nice little jaunt through the bush as a warmup for the Quoll that is happening on the 5th and 6th of August. Get a bit of Navigation and bush time in. This also means that I really need to start getting fit. I have set up with Ellen to do a bit of jogging along the strand each Tuesday and Thursday. Hopefully this will happen as I need to be running fit as well as paddling and riding.
The other problem is that the boys aren't turning up for paddling since two of our canoes were loaded up to be taken away to Hamilton Island (Good Luck with the 42km Marathon Boys). This effectively means though that i haven't been training in the last week. I really need to get back to it.

Hey Tom,
Paddling would be a good excercise for you. You don't use your legs and it still builds up fitness and strength. You should think about coming along one time and try it out.
I might have to try one of these rogaine's eventually. Yeah right. You keep sounding so exited about something that is obviously designed as a method of torture but has been taken up as a sport by people who have some kind of death wish, at least you're not alone. Anyway i will look at the photos and enjoy from a distance for the moment.
Glen
