Australian Orienteers have been signing up to the online training diary, www.attackpoint.org, in droves. The American-based website allows users to log their training activities online for public viewing. Being able to view each other’s training is a good motivational tool and it certainly has worked. The site also allows users to comment on each others training making for some good-natured banter.

The elite orienteers to have joined include David Sheperd, Troy De Haas, Rob Walter and most of the JWOC 2006 team. Roughly 25 Australians have joined to date. To join, view the training or laugh at the comments visit http://www.attackpoint.org/
