The First week Back. Call it off season, I call it learning Season

Team Galton are back working hard now, with a bit more energy now that the competitive season is done and dusted. There will be a write up about the year in future blog.

Manged to pick up a great training partner in Benj. Benj wants to compete and I want to take things higher so I am looking forward to the training ahead.
