Tararua24 NZ Rogaine Champs

Gossip and Photos

Gourmet Feedback
"The Tararua 24 wasn't great, it was completely fantastic and mindblowingly brilliant." From the Sportzhub discussion forum. There's a thread called "Tararua 24" and another called "Tararua 24 Awesome but Foot Care Question" which many participants will identify with.

Detailed Results
The detailed results will enable analysis freaks to have a field day! You'll notice some controls show a spurious date/time (back in 2005) and this mucks up two splits of course. The problem was confined to controls 60, 71, 75, 90 and 108 although not all visits to those controls were affected.

Wallflower Control
No-one visited control #47 (east of the manned control on Mt Dagg). On the other hand, 71 teams visited #55 (Donnelly Flat).

Lightweight Footwear!
Hear that one rogainer did the course in jandals. Solves the problem of grit in the shoes.

Faded Control or Brain Fade?
Hear that a participant, who first rogained in 1990, went out to collect controls a couple of days after the event, and walked right past a control on the track!

Winners
Aaron Prince and Chris Forne, overall and open mens winners for the second year in a row.

Master of Ceremonies
Mike Sheridan, master of ceremonies/master of the course planning.

Punch
Sue Eastwood "punches" (or whatever the word is for the electronic equivalent).

Stuffed
Michael Wood after his first rogaine DSQ.
