Tapering week for British champs

After a good session Saturday morning it's a week of easing off before the big one at the weekend.
Complete rest on Sunday and Monday (although did manage to tweak a muscle in my back cleaning the shower door - how bizarre is that?)
Tuesday down the track with the intention of a light, fast session.

Got to the track and it was freezing, literally, with the first bend coned off to keep us off the ice. My plan was for a few fast 100s, focus on flowing style, but that wasn't going to happen in the conditions.
Instead I joined in with my group doing 16x300 with 100m jog recovery. Cranking them out in under 60 seconds. I did the first 4, took a rest, then did 3, rest one, then another 3. The goal being to feel good all the way, not going into any sort of debt
Pretty much succeeded, back feeling OK, right calf a bit tight, otherwise all in working order.
Will try to get one more short sharp session in later in the week.
