There was a real erg battle. me vs this other guy, I was pulling a better number for most of it, and we were even(exactly) untill the last 30m where he snagged a tenth of a second(split time, his...

(i did smoe earlier in the summer, but nothing serious at all) monday 3 x 2k the first was a little under 8 min @ a rate of 15 the second was around 7:24 @ r20 the last I don't recall... it was more of a cooldown i think around 8:30 @ r15 tuesday... nada ...

I also agree with alissa on what she said. one more thing that I noticed was that you were not getting very much compression at the beginning of the drive.
