You're totally right -- I am old! Glad that explains the last length of my 100 fly!
I have no plans whatsoever to get back in the pool until sometime next week. I likewise have no "fear of fat" in the pool. I really do mostly quality sprint training. I'm fighting fat by cross-training. I was happy with my times at Nats, including that painful 100 fly, and think they reflect my training. However, I think I've had similar results in LC when tapering 2 weeks and doing a bit more speedwork. Fortunately, I don't plan on doing a full taper until maybe Indy!
Many people doing hard core training like to train more than compete. So for them it makes sense.
