End of August - New Orleans

I was down in the Big Easy for a hearing and managed to get in an old staple, 4 rounds of:
400m run, 50 squats

It was oppressive hot in N'Awlins, so reasonably happy with this result.  I looked up the last time I could find that I did this, in August 2008 (I'm sure I must have done this since then), and I managed a 12:43 total then (1:45/1:05, 1:51/1:35, 1:50/1:26, 1:46/1:22) Run/squats.

Interestingly, I managed a 12:41 in New Orleans the other day.  More important, I was faster on the runs and thought maybe the track was a little smaller (it was odd shaped), but I Gmapped it afterwards and nope, dead on 400m runs.  That's encouraging, especially in that heat and humidity.
1:28/1:17, 1:40/1:42, 1:46/1:38, 1:43/1:25 = 12:41.
