CONTACTS NEEDED FOR AUCKLAND

**********************************************************************************************************************

Anyone got any contacts for Auckland, New Zealand

I need some local advice and perhaps an address to have some stuff forwarded to!

Thanks Phil for sorting Darwin. readers may wonder what that was, well as mentioned before Michael Gillan has very kindly offered to crew for me through Australia in his new car, so I gotta send her on ahead.

Thanking you, Tony

Welcome back to the road, Tony! I have some reading to do to get caught up on your journey. A bit of money is coming your way – enjoy the last of the incredible South American continent before heading to another tremendous continent! I have run 2 marathons this past month – nothing to compare, certainly, but a challenge for me, nonetheless. Wishing you safety and many new friends in the living of your dream. Barb

Patience Tony,

Darwin is organised. Ex-workmate of mine is a local Politician and will look after Nirvana for you! I also had two postings up there, so fire away with any more questions! With reference to Nirvana – please email me her appromximate weight and length…..

PS – They have a saying in Darwin about NT (Northern Territory) time – Not today, not tomorrow!

Thanks so much Barb for your great help and support! Glad you are running well. I am enjoying Argentina so much and Latin America but to be honest I am getting a bit weary of it now. It’s been a long though very enjoyable and eventful run all the way from the US/Mexican border 15 months ago. I have spent 2 and a half years of my life travelling here, I want to move onto new pastures make new adventures and explore other areas of the world as I have here
Thanks Phil for that great bit of work.Will be in touch. Tony

About Tony

I have always considered myself to be an average runner. In school, I was even bullied for I was a sports wimp. Through hard work, dedication, perseverance, self-belief and a strong mind I succeeded in not only running around the world but breaking four ultra running world records during my competitive career. Having previously cycled around the world I didn't start running until I was almost 30. Then I had a dream of running around the world. For many reasons, I waited for over 20 years. One reason was to establish my pedigree as an endurance athlete. I started and finished my world run as the current World Record-Holder for 48 Hours Indoor Track 426 kilometres (265 miles), a record I have held since 2007. I also broke and still hold the World Record for 48 hours on a Treadmill 405 kilometres (251 miles) in 2008. When I retired from competition, more pleasing than any of my world, European or Irish records I had the respect of my fellow athletes from all over the world - in my opinion, sports greatest reward - an achievement I am most proud of. Then I finally put myself out to pasture, to live my ultimate dream to run around the world! This blog was written on the road while I struggled to find places to sleep and to recover from running an average of 43.3 kilometres or 27 miles per day for 1,165 road days. There were many nights I typed this blog on a smart phone, so fatigued my eyes closed. Many journalists and endurance athletes have referred to my world run as the most difficult endurance challenge ever attempted. During my expedition I rarely had any support vehicles, running mostly with a backpack. In the more desolate areas I pushed my gear, food and water in a cart which I called Nirvana, then I sent her on ahead to run with my backpack once again over altitudes of almost 5,000 metres in the Andes. I stayed in remote villages where many people had never seen a white person before. I literally met the most wonderful people of this world in their own backyard and share many of those amazing experiences in this blog. My run around the world took 4 years. There were no short cuts, I ran every single metre on the road while seeking out the most comprehensive route across 41 countries, 5 continents, I used 50 pair of running shoes and my final footstep of the run was exactly 50,000 kilometres, (almost 31,000 miles) I eventually finished this tongue in cheek named world jog where I started, at the finish line of my city marathon. I started my global run with the Dublin Marathon on October 25th 2010 and finished with the Dublin Marathon on October 27th 2014 at 3 05pm! Thank you for your support, I hope you can share my unique way of seeing the world, the ultimate endurance challenge! Read more...
