Avon Descent 124km downriver kayaking race - always ready attitude

I just went to Avon Descent Downriver Kayaking Race in Perth.  It was a fantastic experience and when I close my eyes, I can’t stop seeing those rapids for the second day in a row. The distance is 124km over two days, 52km and 72km respectively.

I was going to give it a go 3 years ago, and then again 2 years ago. I almost went last year, but again, didn’t make it. This year I submitted my entry straight away. Next thing, I found a suitable-looking Spirit Fury in Perth, purchased it, and my good friend Tom Chadsbourne went and picked it up for me and stored at his place.

World Rogaining Championships - the Women Open winner story

You know it’s been a good weekend when, late on Sunday afternoon you find yourself and one of your best mates staring at the payment collection station on Barcelona Highway, trying to push your credit card into the cash slot and wondering why the damn thing doesn’t fit..

Top 10 tips on how to survive your first 4 hour adventure race

Adventure racing looks exciting and, as its name suggests, it is more of an adventure rather, than a race. It is truly relevant to the sprint events as well as expedition race. 

"The very first race I registered for was about 50 km long. Based on the normal perception of 42.2 km being a standard marathon, to say I was slightly nervous would have been an understatement. 12-hour events came up quickly and less than a year later I was into the real expedition stuff." - Maria, event director.
