Damon and Kim return to the start line of Geoquest for the 9th time. This year they are joined by Big Dave Provan and Andrew "Wol" Wolstencraft. Kim and Dave recently moved from the famous CIS training facility in Carrum Victoria to the warmer training grounds in Brisbane. Geoquest will be the first opportunity to test the effects of the new training environment.
The race coverage can be found
here, and again includes GPS tracking and the popular Trail Mail message board.
Meanwhile Rob and Kathryn have been in Norway for the
World Orienteering Championships. If you missed all the action there is plenty of good entertaining reading on the
Aussie team blog. I raced the Sprint Distance and Long Distance Qualification races finishing 25th and 27th in heats which wasn't good enough to qualify for the finals. But with only 2months to prepare since XPD in Cairns this wasn't a bad effort and up toying with the idea of a better focused attempt at the 2011 WOC in France.
And another race of interest on this weekend is the Inaugural Vanuatu Adventure Race. Several friends and family are racing, with Peter Preston and Ben "What injury will it be this week" Rattray racing as NSW Stingers. Also Steve Todkill and Dave Meyer are racing as Team Stingers. Vanuatu looks like a fantastic location for an Adventure Race even better place for a holiday so I'm sure they will have a great time. The "Supercrew" Julia and Robert Preston have also jumped Geoquest support duties in favour or a pacific holiday. Checkout the race at http://www.racevanuatu.com

Does this take the same formula as the well-known Amazing Race? If so, then it's a great help to have GPS navigation. Painstakingly nailing your locations with a map isn't easy in any ways.

Seems like it Isabel. I guess they have to dig deep and run far and wide to get to their locations as well, hailing cabs and acquiring fast car rentals and eating fast.
