Team Goanna competed in the 2006 Polaris in the Delegate region on the weekend. Day one was eventful indeed, we started out very well but ended up geographically challenged after 4 controls. We broke many of the core orienteering rules but had justification for our decisions at the time! A series of disasters including me losing front brakes and Graeme breaking a deralliuer hanger saw us placed well down the field after day 1.
Camp was nice but we didnt partake in any festivities... Our shanty town was excellent and lasted the whole night without a problem. I slept on my map so when I woke up in the morning I thought I was skydiving! ;-) Our neighbours werent so lucky, a possum decided to do number ones on their tent! The poor old possum must have peed himself again as he had about 20 headlamps aimed up the tree trying to find him!
Day 2 rocked. Perfect navigation and fast riding saw us make up about 30 places. I did crack on the second ascent of Mt Delegate... so much so that at one stage I was soo dizzy that I nearly rode off the edge. I must have looked shabby because one team took photos of my "grimmace" as I passed them.
Monday was spent watching daytime TV flat out on the floor. Next up for Team Goanna is the urban 24 hour in Canberra. Cant wait!
Some idiots recreated the simpsons intro in real life.
Far too much time on their hands!

Saw the boy on the weekend and we celebrated his 3rd Birthday! He really loved the "Bob" cake my friends made him and we had great fun in the backyard looking for ants, lizards, butterfies and spider webs.
On sunday we went up to the park, climbed up the big tower, rode bikes and played on the swings.
He loves the 3 little pigs (no, not my borthers, the real ones!). He likes to contribute to the story and he yells out "BLEW THE HOUSE DOWN!" at the appropriate time. He can count to 10 but he starts at 2... he always had one-up on us! Twas a great weekend. :)
Went up the Blue Mountains for some MTBO on the weekend. Ended up taking Al and Nick as well as Al's car broke down "vorsprung deutch tech-shite". Pretty good weekend, I went crap in the races but we all had fun and I took Nick and Al on a "spooky night ride". Much fun was had around the fire and the flick-saw was finally used in anger! :) Much damage to bikes and bodies was encountered but I managed to avoid both. Now Im looking forward to a weekend of death on the polaris with Graeme...
