Post marathon post


Perhaps the best thing about racing is NOT racing (the runner's paradox). I enjoy nothing better than resting after a hard training session, or particularly an Ironman or Marathon. So Friday night, J and I went to a bar in the city called 'Fat Louie's' to watch J's cousin M play in a punk (?) band. It was a good venue and good, hard-core sound. I was old enough to be every other patron's father, but I didn't mind and neither did the (clearly) underage drinkers around me.


Saturday we went to Glenn Innis (central NSW) and froze in the -3C Autumnal nights. It was beautiful to see the leaves changing (a foreign sight to Queenslanders) and on Saturday night we went with a friend to see "Brokeback Mountain" - a marvellous, well made film and rural New South Wales is the perfect setting in which to see it, particularly when it's -3C!

Crossing back into Queensland we visited a large family at Ballendine - a small, wine growing area that borders Girraween National park. Ballendine is cold, beautiful and boasts an impressive pyrimid (I'm not sure why).

A professional (J) took them (of course). Yes, the new camera!
