Warm up for Tassie results

Day 1, Green Gully, Results, Splits, by Class, by Course

Day 2, Mt Beckworth, Results, Splits, by Class, by Course

Day 3, Mt Tarrengower, Results, Splits, by Class, by Course

Overall Results

Please note that because of a misplaced control on day 2, which affected the men on course 1 only, we have posting revised results which exclude the leg leading in to the misplaced control, and the leg leading out of the misplaced control. This control was relocated to its correct position before the women on course 1 were affected and hence no alteration to the women’s results will be required.

Merry Christmas

The year is nearly over, and the New Year isn’t that far away, so while we enjoy the end of the year – and another Orienteering season – I want you to help Peter Galvin out, he is organising the Rockhopper points for the club.

The claim form is on the VOA website, and can be found here Please go to page 3, and send any relevant claims to Peter at pmg41@bigpond.com

While we are recovering from the last years Orienteering, we are also getting ready for next year, both in planning events, and getting fit to do the best we can. The calendar is here Please take some time to see what event you are going to help out at.

On the fitness side of things, you may want to work on your core. Here is a Video showing you the benefits of core strength and orienteering, thanks to Andrew Cameron of N8 Health

Comments Off on Jim’s Golden Leg Goes Global!

The Golden Leg award was last week awarded to Jim for his 47th control at the Kooyoora ultra-long event earlier this year. Makes me glad I’m not an M21!

World of O picked up the story (aided, perhaps, by a little birdie bardie), and did an analysis on it. Read the full article here: http://news.worldofo.com/2014/12/15/route-to-christmas-day-15-2014/.

They say that not enough sunlight in winter can cause a shortage of vitamin D and lead to depression ….

But it’s certain is that not enough orienteering in summer leads to depression!

We’re going to help you through those long bleak orienteering-free summer days. Whether you are heading to the World Cup carnival in Tasmania or not, make sure that you come to the Warm-Up for Tassie events. All the pleasure of orienteering in the bush, served up in chunks that won’t melt you down if it’s hot.

Bendigo presentations day are this weekend, Sunday the 7th December at the Axedale Golf Course

What is on? The day will start at midday, with a 1 hr score event, (12 – 1) with a twist. The Golf course will be closed to golfers for this hour, so its important that you get there in time, as we cant run late. You may also need to turn up early, to work out the best way for you to get the 20 controls that are on offer, because if you get them in the right order, you will be awarded with a higher score. Enough said, find more out on the day 😉

Then it will be time to have something to eat. Please bring salads and drinks (non-alcoholic) to share, the club will be providing the BBQ and sausages, as well as bread.

To make it easier for us to cater, can you please indicate on Eventor if you are coming

After lunch has been done, we will end up with presentations.

One of the presentations we do is the ‘golden leg’ This is the leg that challenged the best of us, or had the best variations of route choice, or for whatever other reason you were challenged by it. If you have a ‘leg’ that you believe fits this category, please get back to us by return email, with the date, course and leg you want to nominate. The judges will then decide from the nominations, the reciprocate of this years ‘Golden Leg’

After this is all over, you may want to have a round of Golf. Green Fees are $15 for 9 holes and each person will be required to have their own set of Golf clubs
