You did the right thing...I rarely want to do the social thing at the moment cause I have a limited time to get all of my training in. I get up at 6.00am cause there's less people/packs to get caught up in. After October I might change things, but for now I'm not prepared to drag anyone elses b*tt around Beach Road.
