I'm not just hanging on by my fingertips anymore. It's surprising what a little push can do for you in your training. I guess I really stagnated a little leading my lane for so long, since I've already worked up to solidly sticking with the group in my new lane. Some of the longer stuff is faster than I might choose, and the easy work is closer to "easy+", but I'm there. I put a real effort into waiting to leave the wall to avoid getting a draft and seeing if I could keep pace, and for the most part I could. So things are always getting better.

Excellent work! I really hope that NYAC offers something similar after the current coach leaves.
