Had Antti in the gym for a skills/technique session which lasted 1.5hrs. Wow....... GS overload ;-) we refined, changed and tweaked a few of my weak points. It was great, challenging but extremely rewarding, now all i have to do is remember those small points and practise them....

Took Antti down to Bronte straight after to have a swim, I think he enjoyed this beach a little better then Bondi.. the scenery was better :-)
