“What’s wrong with being drunk? Ask a glass of water.” You can’t go wrong with a good Douglas Adams quote. But you can go very wrong if you wind up dehydrated during an event! To save you from the pain, the Cyborg has started a series of articles on how to stay hydrated during events.
Entries for our favourite adventure race series, the AROC Paddy Pallin, are now open, with the first race scheduled for 16 October in the Wollongong Area.
These races have grown increasingly popular over the years, so it’s a good idea to get in early before they sell out!

For those of you who don’t know, the Gong Ride is a fantastic annual ride along the coast from St Peter’s in Sydney through to Wollongong (or, if you’re not game for the full 96km, there is a half option leaving from Heathcote). You can read all about last year’s ride here.
It’s a great ride for a great cause. And like a growing number of events these days, the ride has a mandatory fundraising component. This year it is $250. If you’d like to help your favourite TriHard achieve his goal, you can donate online..
Never try new gear on race day!

The Canberra Times Fun Run is becoming a bit of a tradition for the TriHards, having entered teams in 2008 and 2009. Entrants can either do the 10km run from Woden to the city, or the 5km walk around the north-eastern side of Lake Burley Griffin.
And the best part: fundraising is optional!

The Husky finished the job that the Capital Punishment started, and the Cyborg has crossed to the dark side. He’s become a mountain biker. Not a very good one, but now he has two events under his belt and a once-was-shiny new bike!
