Put to shame again

There I was, congratulating myself for being out and about so 'early' on a Sunday morning... when I realised most of the people milling around the place had just completed a half marathon! They were probably out running before I even woke up.

The inaugural Noosa Winter Festival has been on this weekend, combining the Noosa Blue Water Swim, Century Bike Ride and Noosa Running Festival into two days of competition, and the town is absolutely heaving with people in lycra (about which I am absolutely not complaining!).

Anyway, we had a great breakfast with friends on the deck of the Surf Club, then went and got some coffees from Sails and sat down on the beach in the sunshine. It's a gorgeous autumn day, about 25 degrees - much better suited to drinking coffee on the beach than running half marathons in my book!
