Rogaine: Definition

Show Profile  Martin Posted: 31 July 2006, 4:42 PM  
Spotted recently on totalsport.co.nz:

*Rogaine - team activity involving navigation and endurance, essentially orienteering on steroids.

As far as I know there is no international organisation like WADA that drug tests rogainers. Jamie and Neil you should look into it, this might offer you way to get close to Phil and I at the Rogaine Worlds. Give Floyd a call he will know the best stuff to use.

Lactic Turkey's definition is - Rugged Offroad Group Activity Involving Navigation and Endurance.

From the following link written by Dave Rowlands:
http://rogaine.asn.au/ara/docs/history.html

"The name Rogaining was coined to give the sport an identifiable name. The origin of the name was kept secret for more than 10 years, with Rod Phillips mischievously suggesting it had aboriginal or Swedish origins. The acronym Rugged Outdoor Group Activity Involving Navigation and Endurance gained popularity, but the name Rogaining originates from the names Rod Gail and Neil Phillips."

This just reminds everybody how much totalsport sucks. just like a certain unnamed company that administers mountain biking in auckland.
