So I had meant to do the 50s at 800 pace for all four rounds. But I suppose I am starting to feel good as taper kicks in, because by RD3 I had somehow ended up going 400 pace, and faster than I went on the 12x50 set from 6/27! Honestly I would have preferred to be doing 100s for pacing the 800, but the set the club team was doing was 50s fast on 1:00, so I had to go with 50s so I wouldn't cause any confusion in my lane. A lot of those 34s also would have been 33s but for running into the back of the girl ahead of me. I guess an extra ten second gap combined with the fact that she was diving every 50 (and I was pushing) wasn't enough space to keep me from catching her :/
