Swim

Swam a half mile after work. The pool is open till 8 on Sundays. I thought it was only open till seven so I raced over there. This is good news as a Sunday swim will work nicely for my training.

The pool wasn't crowded. I tried to time myself for a 1/4 mile to see if my new technique was helping, but lost track of laps.

I'm trying to look at the bottom of the pool instead of slightly ahead. At one point the new technique altered my breathing slightly and ny alteration in my breathing makes me panic slightly. It took a little bit till I got my rhythm back.

I think I need to most work on my pulls using my forearms, instead of just my cupped hands.

When I went home, I thought about getting on the bike, but my legs were very tired.
