Review of my first nine days


Day one,

Distance: 51km (Smithton IGA fundraising)


Day two,

Distance: 58km (Stanley IGA fundraising)


Day three,

Distance: 56km (Wynyard IGA fundraising)


Day four,

Distance: 59km (Ulverstone IGA fundraising)


Day five,

Distance: 42km (Port Sorell IGA fundraising)


Day six,

Day seven,

Fundraising Day Launceston IGA


Day eight,

Distance: 61km (Gorge Town IGA fundraising)


Day nine,

Distance: 52km (Bridport IGA fundraising)


Total distance covered 448km (on average 56kim a day)


So far I have run plus minus 6500 paces and paddled 170,000 strokes. My biggest personal challenges on this trip so far have been crossing Perkins Bay solo from Smithton to Stanley and across Sawyer Bay to Wynyard.


On day six I had to do double the distance to make sure I arrived in Launceston in time for a media opportunity. I did this because I wanted to have a full day of fundraising the following day.
