Alex – 55.2 isn't bad at all. Especially considering you're a 100/200 type. My first open 400 after running 100/200 mostly was like 56.4 or something. So. you're not too bad off. Heck, I ran 55.44 Saturday. NOW who's slow? 😉 Hey, let's see who finishes faster, eh? We're at about the same now….
Derrick – I've always been a proponent of short-to-long myself, however, maybe a year out of the norm could stimulate some development that would benefit me more long term. Thoughts?
