This topic is and can be so toxic its hard to know what to say without fear of being attacked.
Im sad for swimming, esp in an olympic year where the sport has any chance to gain traction.
Im sad that cycling is almost unilaterally associated w doping.
Im sad bc a majority of the most lucrative sports on planet earth dont play by the same rules. If you think for a second that athletes in tennis, nba, golf, nhl, nfl, MLB etc etc are NOT taking drugs(on a regular basis) that any olympic athlete would be banned for life for, you are delusional (even if it happens to be just a tainted supplement for the oly athlete). The double standard is absurd to the point of comedy.
So, I hope our swimmers (team usa) in particular dont suffer too much in the public arena for what is happening outside the US in oly sports and happening rampantly in our "professional" sporting arenas.
Now for much more boring news:
MyMainSet :
4 rounds (no extra rest)
1 x 200 on 2:45
4 x 50 on :45 dec to Race Pace
I was 2:19. 2:17, 2:15, 2:12 on the 200s
and 34, 33, 32, 30-31s on the 50s.
Pretty good set btw.
For clarity we did take an extra 15 seconds after the last 50 to start on the top again.
