Report by Yan Jiehui & Wilson Low
Our team, WanGoDo Edge Woodlanders, have put together this race
report on the 24hr Rogue Adventuregaine, a weekend adventure race that saw us
navigating, trekking, kayaking and mountain biking in the Sunshine Coast
hinterland of Queensland, Australia.
Here is our story.
‘First Checkpoint-it is’
Jiehui: The race started with Wilson running away from the
track to CP1. I pulled his arm back and told him to follow the rest because
Liam has repeated at least twice the track is the best route. I could picture
those question marks above his head especially when all teams were running
towards the track that I pointed at. It must have been the adrenaline from his
‘first checkpoint-itis’ that he sped off (without me) towards CP1. I was
probably still startled at the speed teams are taking off in this 24hr race and
decided that falling at those rocks before CP1 can justify my slowness through
the race. The result: a grazed and bruised shin accompanying me for the rest of
the race!
