comments: back to MSS, Z2 work after an experiment in high intensity in August left me a shivering wreck.  Not much true speedwork in this block, but the work from the summer carried over well.  3rd overall at USAT AG nationals was a good race, I stayed strong throughout and pushed it to the finish line. You can see that my weekly hours were nothing to write home about.
