Big weekend of racing for Team Blackheart

The team is spread out between 3 countries, and 2 states within Australia this weekend in the pursuit of some great racing.

Damon and Fleur are in Sabah, Malaysia competing in the 12th Sabah Adventure Challenge. The 120km 3 day  stage race has 50 pairs from around the world competing. Its only a couple of weeks since Damon's victory in the Namib Desert Challenge so hopefully he can keep up with Fleur!

Big Dave and Kim are in Geelong competing at the Australian Marathon Kayaking Championships. Dave just recently took home the Australian title over 5km in a K2 with his mate Bennett. The races are also qualifiers for the World Championships later this year in http://marathon.canoe.org.au/

And Rob and Kathryn are in Western Australia competing in the 2011 Easter Orienteering Carnival. This includes 4 days of racing over different distances and is followed by the Australian Sprint and Middle Distance Championships the following weekend. Rob and Kathryn both have good form in the forest, having won the last round of the SILVA National Orienteering League in Canberra last month. http://www.orienteering.asn.au

And to finish off Josh is racing around New Zealand, trying to keep up with his hyperactive children and wife!

Have a great long weekend!!
