I want to start blogging too, what do you think, which blog platform is good for noob?
The Elements are neither for nor against you…It’s how we go to meet them that will decide in the end!
Gizzy Elliotts- Shaun stay strong in mind and body. Not long now but be patient, fantastic effort with amazing land support well done Funnell family. Cam have booked you in with Coppos surgeon at Easter
Have kept tabs from Scotland….such a wicked thing to do. Kapai to you and Bucky as well.
For those interested, I’ve been using the above link to follow the winds Quincey is challenged by everyday.

Just read this avo’s tweet, you were starting to feel the bad weather they say is coming from the east. Yuck, boring boring boring to be inside and yes you may get pushed back a bit but otherwise batten down the hatches and stay focussed on the facts that a) You are so close now, and b) everyone here is hanging out to welcome you home,and – more importantly – buy you a drink. Very proud – you’re doing great!
Mate great to hear you are so positive. If you get your a into g you might actually get here for surf nats if you do I might even be able to organise a taplin team for you. Only if you are fit mind you. Nah but on a more serious note my girls think it is awesome not sure brookey quite knows what we are going on about but michaela thinks you are a bloody legend, another reason too ensure they never do surf.
Hey Shaun, keep up the good work – we are watching your progress everyday here in Surf House and we are very proud!! Good on you mate, wicked effort!!!
Shaun You are an Ironman so think like one! Think STRONG! Don’t focus on getting weaker. As you have experienced the mind is powerful. Yours will pull you through the next few days. All NZers will pull you in!!
hey shaun been following ur trespass on to new zealand keep it up my man good on ya keep the strength up my man all the best keep it going
Great to hear your voice Shaun. Looks like you’ll get to NZ before I do! Fantastic progress, and good luck with the rest of the trip. Stay strong!
Hey Shaun, Nigel again ~ message from Peter Buckleigh, at the Ironman Expo, Taupo ahead of the NZ Ironman event on Saturday. You are the talk of all the competitors mate,the athletes are in awe of what you doing ~ that`s coming from Ironman Tri-Athletes!!! and everyone has wanted to pass on their best to you. Keep Striving, all at TIMEX.
Hi Shaun, Just had breakfast with Grandma and Grandpa in Cornwall Park, drove them up to the top of One Tree Hill, can’t quite see you yet! All very much looking forward to your landfall, the beach will be busy that day. Lots of love from All xxx
Quincey – you are an inspiration to us all!! Hope the excitement pushes you a little bit closer to land every day! Was thinking the other day that once you are home, you might have to jump on the boys trip around NZ getting dropped off at all the events/dinners/schools that you will now be asked to speak at!
Keep going – love seeing you on the right side of the map now!
Getting closer – good work. I know there are a load of people hoping to be waiting on shore as you make that first step onto land! Sorry I can’t be there but I’m part of your UK support team
G’Day Shaun, I used to play Rugby in the 1st 15 with you at taka grammer. I saw you doing this and wanted to wish you well and all the best for the rest of the trip. Make sure your support crew has a few cold beers waiting for when you arrive! Cheers, Cory
Stay safe!! Looking forward to news of your arrival. Simply awesome xxxx
Hey Shaun,
Not sure if this has been commented on already….. but the latest New Zealand Geographic issue has a fantastic feature of your Challenge. The front cover picture is stunning!!, and worthy of being framed for any wall. As before, all at TIMEX right there watching your progress in amazement. Keep Striving ~ not far now. Best, Nigel
Woohoo Quincey! You’re almost there
Hey Shaun – have been following your progress from the beginning – your story is inspirational. Stay strong – you’re nearly there! Monique.

Fantastic to hear you still sounding so positive – keep it up and see you soon.

Have we got a surgeon lined up for Mongrels Plum’s??
