Trail Runs and an Ouch! SS#4 Glenluce South ». The Quest of El Dorado. Sunday, March 23, 2014. SS#2 Rowdy Flat, Yackandandah. Saturday. Came unstuck at control #6, even though I thought that I’d navigated correctly. Discovered how under-mapped the area was, when I could stand at the edge of a very distinct erosion gully network, and not be able to find it on the map. Have been able to land on it directly. My brain was getting frazzled and I was feeling a bit stressed and very hungry! My leg pulled up qui...

Hi there. I’m Vincent. Vincent Van Go. No relation to that chap what cut off his ear over some woman. Although I am partial to sunflowers. I’m a Toyota Hiace Super Custom. Full time 4WD. 3L turbo diesel. I was born in Japan in 1995, and moved to Australia in 2007. I’ve been with Louise since May 2007, and she’s okay, I guess. Doesn’t scratch me up too much, although our travels through the Victorian bush sometimes leave me a bit worse for wear. How to Orienteer at Kooyoora. The Art of Noodling.

An Easter Story ». Run For The Kids. Sunday, April 13, 2014. My third, and most probably last, go at this event. Nothing went wrong; it was all just a rather frustrating experience. Feeding 35,000 people through the baggage area, toilet area, and Start line must be a logistical nightmare, and standing in line after line really doesn’t do it for me. I drove down last night (because the thought of a 3:30am wake-up didn’t appeal much either) and stayed with Ted and Margi – thanks HEAPS guys! Run For The Kids.

Mother’s Day Classic ». Sunday, May 4, 2014. The great thing about orienteering is that there is an almost infinite number of ways to stuff up. I tried a new one today – one I haven’t done before, in 10 years of playing this game. We had a slightly different Start procedure. Normally, you stand in front of your (face down) map and wait for the Start beeper. This time, we punched the Start, and. Walked over to the pile of maps to pick one up. Can you guess where this is going? Funny how this time around I...

Newer posts ». Where to from here. Tuesday, December 21, 2004. Well, I’d like to be able to run more consistently. My form is okay, my speed is okay, but I can’t maintain it over an hour. It seems to take me forever to warm up, and I find I’m not running smoothly and comfortably often until 30 minutes have passed. My gym workouts – mostly Pump classes – have given me nice strong legs and glutes (yes – a big arse. With which to climb hills. Hill running is something I *can* do. Oh yeah, and lose 5kg.

Run For The Kids. SS#5 Irishtown ». Tuesday, April 22, 2014. As posted on FB, and reproduced here for your amusement). Mr and Mrs Easter Bunny awoke to discover, to their great delight, that the stork had delivered an egg to their humble home. Disaster. Mrs Bunny has disappeared. After searching frantically for a few minutes, Bunny realised how quiet and peaceful the house was, and decided not to alert the authorities just yet. You always knew that it would end like this….

DuO @ Warburton ». Saturday, January 18, 2014. Crap How’m I going to run a 10km in 46 minutes? Answer: lose 10kg and increase mileage/endurance. Simple really. My sister has also invited/challenged me to run an off-road half marathon with her in October. So another good reason (if I needed one) to lose 10kg and increase my endurance. Run For The Kids, 15km, had gastro the day before;. Puffing Billy, 13km, that was pretty good actually, and mostly off-road;. De Castella, 15km, left hip failure;. You will ...

The Quest of El Dorado ». Trail Runs and an Ouch! Thursday, March 20, 2014. So, I hear you ask, how’s the New Years Resolution thingie going? Well, actually, quite good. The Plan went up on the fridge, and I’ve mostly managed to stick to it. While it was ferally hot during January and February, I’d be up and into Bendigo for a run at 7am. I was having such a wonderful run on Tuesday that I forgot to pick my feet up on a particularly rocky part of the walking trail and went flying. I was still 2 km from t...

And the Orienteering ». Saturday, March 8, 2014. Is a hell of a long way to drive for a 1-hour event. After a short Facebook discussion, I got a lift with Jim and Craig up to the mountain on Friday night. Craig was driving Jim’s car, because Jim had already been driving all day and “was going to fall asleep in the back.” Did. Not. Happen. We stopped for groceries at Chirnside Park (my old stomping ground) before reaching a very damp foggy mountain about 8pm. Distance covered: 12.7 km. The Art of Noodling.
