I did a Raid The North race up in Elliot Lake a few years back... tonnes of fun, if exhausting (for a fat guy like me). -- we came in a spot before a team consisting of canadian armed forces.. they passed us about 6 times and kept getting lost.  So remember, orienteering skills > outright physical fitness.

lol... I'm going to try the Solomen series Raid the North race. There is one held up here near the Ottawa river. I'm pretty good at orienteering, so that shouldn't be a problem.. it's the trail running that I'm concerned about. I'm not a runner at all, and that's what's held me back year after year in the triathlon attempts.
I always start training for tri's, but I find running so bleedy boring that I don't continue with the training at all. In any case, I hope that the group I'm with are actually serious about this, because when I start something, I have to finish on top! No last place for me!
