Been a rough day few days of food/booze, which is ultra-convenient given how hard this piece is.

Didn't really push myself outside of the final two intervals, since I wanted to make sure I negative split the whole way this time. Ran out of gas a few times in the last interval and skipped half a beat a few times, but other than that, I made it through. It was a bit slower than last time, but I figured just getting the work in as opposed to killing myself was probably better given my relative lack of preparation.
I've started taking his advice re: warmup more seriously on these longer pieces; I'd compress things before, but if warming up to UT1 pace before a UT1 piece takes 18-20 minutes done correctly, then that's how long it should take before I do stroke builds for AT and TR sessions. That plus doing a full 20' cooldown afterwards led to this being my longest session ever (looks like I ended up at 90' flat when you add in the rest minutes between intervals).
