The CrossFit Auckland – Tasman Trespasser Challenge is dedicated to Colin Quincey the first man to row solo across the Tasman sea. This 63km Ergometer challenge is set to be an annual event in celebration of BIG Dreams and Inspirational Human Challenges.
“I decided that 2009 would be the year that I row the Tasman. I have planned this trip many a time in my head, and now I am launching an official campaign to be the first person to row from Australia to New Zealand solo and unassisted. My Dad Colin Quincey was the first person to row the Tasman in 1977. It took him 63 days and 7 hours; since then no one else has crossed the Tasman rowing solo.
This is your chance to race against me in this 63km indoor Ergometer challenge. I look forward to rowing alongside you!” Shaun Quincey
