This morning's set I could barely make the sendoff and this afternoon's set was just pure hell. I had to really compartmentalize the set, and take one 100 at a time. If I looked past the next 4 lengths of the pool, I would start to fall apart. Trip was sneaky and threw down a swift 1:00 on the final one as well, trying to sneak up on my winded ass, but I think I may have just gotten him at the touch
