In the blink of an eye, we’ve reached the end of 2021. It’s interesting to have a read over the wrap up from the 2020 racing season where we were looking ahead to our plans for this year. Team Rogue entered 2021 with an air of optimism after having the bulk of 2020 written off […]

XPD Rivers of Gold
In an attempt to keep things a little bit more low-key with my own racing and just enjoy the process itself, I hadn’t intended to write a race report from XPD. But I’ve just got to accept that I’m an AR tragic and with an amazing set of photographs from event photographers Margarete and Murilo […]

Exploring Gippsland The Hard Way
This is a long report. For those with short attention spans, check out the race video: Two weeks out from the Explore Gippsland start line, it was looking very sketchy on whether team Rogue were even going to be able to field a full team at the race. With Brisbane sent into a three day […]

2020 Racing Wrap (and 2021 Sneak Peek)
There were times this year I didn’t think I would even really have an opportunity to write a yearly race wrap up. Looking back to the start of 2020, we had lofty goals of a big race calendar planned with some fantastic events lined up. I recall being pretty excited because it was a super […]

Giraween Rogaine Report
It’s not often that I get down to writing a race report for a foot rogaine, the last ones being the Diaper Creek Rogaine and 24 Hour Rogaine champs way back in 2014. A big part of the reason for this is that’s been almost 2.5 years since I’ve done a pure bush foot rogaine! […]

Back-to-Back Wins at Wildside
As one of only a couple of teams to race every event in the Mountain Designs Adventure1 series this year, it had already been a big season for team Rogue. However, with how the points system was shaping up, there was still plenty to race for at the Wildside 36 hour race: while the Alpine […]

Dealing With a DNF
This has been a hard race report to write, for the obvious reason that the net result of our foray into Alpine Quest in 2019 was a DNF. The team entered the race with high hopes for a good start to the Adventure 1 series and instead we are left ruing a missed opportunity. Personally, […]

Take a Run on the Wildside
As a self-confessed AR tragic, it’s amazing that it has taken me five editions of Wildside to finally make it down to this event. The Wildside format has jumped from anywhere between a 24 hour race to an expedition race. This year’s race finally settled on a 50 hour version and doubled as the final […]

Full Circle at Hells Bells
Hells Bells in 2007 was my first taste of 24 hour adventure racing. I’d still rate it as one of the harder 24 hour courses I’ve done and have since raced 9 Hells Bells in a row. Unfortunately, I had missed the last two years due to injury, so this year’s race was to be […]

GODZone Fiordlands with CBRAR
So it’s taken me a while to decompress and digest the experience that was GODZone Fiordlands. This was my fourth attempt at the race, with my first attempt being the original edition of GODZone that started from the edge of Fiordland National Park in Milford Sound in 2012. That race smashed me and taught me […]
