iThink: Paul Gross, "32 Down on the Robert Mackensie"

First time doing any substantive cardio work in a few days as I've been catching up on sleep - as well as some advance reading for my newly embarked-upon doctoral work in history.
I wasn't sure how I was going to crank this one out, but I felt pretty good going at the 25-stroke/200m rhythm that I used that as a baseline and moved on.
Instead of going all out in just the last 500 meters, I figured I'd go just a little further into oxygen debt for the last 2000m (after holding 2:07-2:08/500m for the most part with some stretches of 2:05/500m and faster) and then cranked up the speed for the last 500m, finishing with a 1:48/500m in the last 150m.
Today's iThink: I'd dusted off my DVDs of Due South last night for the first time in a while, and that's what sparked the Paul Gross song. I have to admit I hooked onto Due South for two reasons, theme music (Jay Semko's) and typography (the opening credits feature two fonts, Garamond and Copperplate Gothic, that I've used often).
A dissenting view (which actually makes a hell of a lot of sense to me) of Copperplate Gothic can be found here.
Yes, I am a font geek.
