BREAKFAST
This morning Max and I had breakfast at Mount Martha beach. It was a beautiful spot to sit and have a peaceful breakfast. Max was down there doing a 4 kilometre (2.4 miles) swim with some of his friends. So I thought I would take some breakfast down there for when he finished. I had muesli and yoghurt and Max had 7 vitabrits and a banana followed by some orange juice. After the breakfast we came home and then he went off for an 80 km (50 mile) bike ride.
Max is madly training for his next major sporting event. It is the Australian Ironman on 6th April at Port Macquarie in NSW. In this event he swims 3.8 kilometres(2.36miles) rides 180 kms(112miles) and runs 42.2km(26.2miles) all straight after each other. It is one hell of an event. This year he hopes to finish in 11 hours. This is why we call him Mad Max.

I would have loved to join you for coffee in that beautiful spot this morning. It's so cold here still, I don't think springtime is ever going to arrive.
Have a great day.

Goodness Alison it makes me tired just reading what Max will do in one day! Ellie and I just did the Dunns Rd, Racecourse Rd, Bentons Rd, block, we are exhausted,I'm sure Max would laugh at us.
Loved your brekky photos, we are very lucky to live in such a wonderful spot.

Happy Easter Alison! Wow Max is incredibly fit, I can't believe it!!! i'm tired just thinking about it!
What a beautiful spot for breakfast. And what dedication on his part that is some strenuous work. Good luck to Mad Max.

What a breathtaking view to take in while enjoying your breakfast! Good luck to Max in his training. Australian Ironman sounds like an amazing sporting event - do they televise it ?
