At 7am I got up and drove an hour to Trentham, an hour north of Melbourne to do a 6 hour regaining event. http://vra.rogaine.asn.au
Despite what you might think Rogaining is not competitive hair growth. Rogaining is similar to orienteering except that it is a completely Australian sport where you look for the check points in teams. Damien and I made a team of 2. As it was the first time either of us had done rogaining, we didn't want a large team but now that we know what it's all about, we will invite more people next time. We had a good day of bush bashing and using a compass. We scored very high with 1000 total points. However, we got stuck in thick bushes on the last checkpoint and didn't make it back until 45minutes after the event had finished, so we were disqualified. Luckily, we were still able to enjoy the food so we ate grilled cheese and chocolate milk until my stomach hurt. On the way home we stopped to see Trentham falls and sunset on Mt. Macedon.
