Rode with Ashley and Taylor. Originally the plan was to ride to Walden Pond, go for a swim and then ride back - but I changed the plan at the last minute. We'll try to do that another time, but right now I need to stick to the comfort and controlled environment of the pool in order to work on my technique a bit more. So came back from the ride and then headed over to the pool and did 1100 yards. Technique is hard to keep consistent, so trying to isolate specific aspects with drills. Fitness in the pool feels fine though, I'm not really winded or out of breath while swimming. Gonna keep at it...
