4,250 Day Lookback

7 December 2022


With 11 days to go before race day, I looked back to the 2011 short course yards season for taper ideas. That year, I had made the decision to make that a sprint-focused season, so I figured it would be a good taper plan. Here's the yards rendition of the April 18th, 2011 short course meters I did.
