So I have decided to focus on the 1500/1650, partly because I seem to have misplaced the three fast twitch fibers I once owned, and partly because guys named Smith are now swimming the 500 and even the 1000. Geek suggested that I build my endurance with dryland work, but unlike him I have a job and limited time to train, and I don't really want to give up pool time. Any suggestions?

Great swim! I'm planning to do my first 1650 in less than 2 months and wish I had seen this thread in October.
Vioxx was a great pain reliever. Many people still get teary eyed when they think of it.
Tendonitis is, as I understand, typically chronic inflammation. There is a difference in how chronic vs. acute is driven, and I'd agree that relying on NSAIDs is not a long term proposition. Injections will work for some because the high steroid dose will quash whatever inflammation is there, provided there is sufficient rest in the short term and accompanying work on the biomechanics in the long term.
