The Australian Orienteer – December 2018- Orienteering Australia has published the December 2018 issue of its quarterly magazine - The Australian Orienteer.
Cerkno Cup (Gene Beveridge Blog)- Slovenia delivered on all fronts with some tough orienteering and wonderful settings. 5 races in 5 days, 3 middle distances in some of the world famous karst terrain, 1 long distance in the mountains and a sprint in the small town of Cerkno.
WOC Reflection (Gene Beveridge Blog)- I’ve had some time to reflect on another WOC and form some ideas about what I’m trying to achieve. 
Stable WOC Relay (Gene Beveridge Blog)- Stable runs from the New Zealand men’s relay team got us a 17th, 1 place down from the our good result in Scotland 3 years ago. We were very happy with the 16th at that World Champs because it was much better than previous years. This year felt somewhat different though, maybe because the expectations were higher. However, 17th is good, looking at the incredible strength of the competition, and reflects 3 stable runs, far different to last year’s disaster. Our Women’s team placed similarly, 19th.
WOC 2018 – (Matt Ogden Blog)- After the National Championships earlier this year and with the Master’s completed I made the decision to have another crack at WOC. The objectives of this WOC project focused on seeing how an NZ based campaign compared to others I have done; in terms of the experience, the feelings, and the performances.
Whangamata 12 hour Adventure Race (Tom Reynolds Blog)- The 2018 Whangamata Adventure Race took place from a base in Opoutere, not far north of Whangamata. The 12 hour race included 5 stages in a loops format from the start finish.
Steps Forward (Lizzie Ingham Blog)- There have been countless times over the last years, months and weeks that I've wanted to write publicly about the health issues I've been experiencing. But I've held off, firstly as I haven't felt ready, and secondly because it's such a long story, I just haven't quite known where to start.
