Limb-it-less Shaz Dagg

So the clues have arrived and today is day 1 of opening them.

Remembering Gemma has already sent a hiking pack, I'm thinking an overnight hike up a huffin n puffin hill somewhere but knowing Gemma and been the fun filled lady she is, this could be to completely throw me off course 😄
The first clue is in the 2nd photo. I have another clue every 2nd day, so this is going to be interesting 🤔

Gemma will be in her element knowing I have no idea and will be loving every minute of this 😅

Have you nutted out her 1st clue?
Gemma McCaw

So apparently, I'm turning 60 in a few weeks!
This was one of many conversations that popped up while Gemma and I trained together for C2C.
It started with Gemma asking....

What are you doing for your 60th this year, Shazzy?
Me... absolutely nothing. It's just another day.

That was clearly the wrong answer to reply to Gemma😅

Gemma being the amazing caring and kind hearted person that she is, then clearly gets something ticking in that head of hers and starts plotting unbeknown to me until I get told I have to block 2 days out in my diary. I then get told by another good mate that Gemma has enlisted her to help plot whatever mischief Gemma has planned, and I'm not allowed to ask her any questions at all.

Forward to last week, and I get a message from Gemma.

Your first clue will be on its way to you in the next week or so in the mail. Each week, you will get another clue 🤣

Then this weeks clue was..
You will get a packing list the week of and then picked up on the Sunday...

Ooooh, geepers, Im feeling completely in the unknown zone and have no ideas as to what mischief Gemma is up to, but I do trust her and know it will be lots of fun.

Help me out her guys and give me your thoughts on what you think Gemma has in store for me???

I will keep you updated with her clues each week

It's been one week since the event that has taken a good 10 months of my time, Would I turn the clock back...heck No, it's been such an incredible and unbelievable journey with so many highs, and yes, some lows if I'm been honest. Stumpy doesn't always want to play along and has had some serious harsh words given to it, but that's what's made this journey even more special. We worked through all the constant nerve pain firing and especially the times when I didn't think it would ever calm down.
How could I not push through to have the amazing Gemma McCaw beside throughout. Her constant calmness and incredible friendship have made this such an unforgettable journey. There have been so many highlights in the build-up that I could go on forever but they are only part of this journey. It's the people and support that has been with me thoughout, to many to thank but just a few to mention, first and foremost my amazing husband Owen, all the times he was been deserted so I could go and train, Sara for all her company on many long trainings and for been part of the best support crew along with Helen who also tripped me around the South Island in her camper. for also traveling up and assisting on day 2, especially at the end of the kayak leg. Then my great mate Kelley, along with Kenzyie who made the trip down to be there to cheer us on.
who sponsored this journey, thank you, I've absolutely loved been a part of you and your brand.
Never say never!
Dont let challenges limit you, you challenge your limits

A quick update to let you know we knocked it off! Will do a final post once we recover.
Special thanks, though, to Helen Worboys, Sara Wills and Richie McCaw for all your amazing support crewing and everyone who supported us along the way. Without you, this would not have been possible.

Weather looking custard so it is now plan B run course. Couldn't do this without our amazing support crew of Helen Worboys and Sara Wills who are spoiling us and along with Kelley Waite and family who have made the trek down to support and of course the incredible Gemma McCaw beside me along the way❤️
Hopefully see you other side tomorrow evening.

It’s time 🤩 Tomorrow we line up for the Coast to Coast. Constantly inspired by Shaz… her strength, her character, and what she shows is possible for everyone!

Cheeky wee article in the in-flight mag on my flight to Wanaka this morning. Off to do Kathmandu Coast to Coast training with the legend herself, Simone Maier and of course, Gemma McCaw will be putting me though my paces. 5 weeks to go, it's getting real now.
This journey is not about podiums or winning. it's encouraging others that "any age, any stage"
