Rogaine Report - nearly, but not quite yet......

The 13th Setanta Rogaine took place last weekend. It’s a brilliant event and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to challenge their endurance and navigation skills. It is one of those events that each team can push their own limits; whether just plog along, run it, take a few hours sleep or go for broke and keep moving all night. The tactical options are endless and that is why it attracts a wide range of adventure athletes.

Of course, there is a bit of suffering involved and 24 hours on your feet, moving over mountainous terrain, doesn’t do them any favors. Between the aches and pains, writing a report is a bit slow, but I’m getting there…however one thing to mention were the great results from the teams north of the border. Members from BARF, LVO, NWOC and Physio & Co took 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 6th places. Eoin Keith and Chris Caulfield dominated the course and it was a popular win for the local team….Eoin must have his name on the Setanta Rogaine Perpetual Trophy at least a half dozen times. So report to follow soon, but make sure you leave room in your diary for the end of June 2011 and enter this tremendous event.
