Write It Down, Do It Up – Week of August 26

Hey, everyone!  Can you believe it’s Sunday already?  Weekends always seem to go by too quickly.  Last night, my extended family—grandparents, aunts, and uncles—went to the Canal View for dinner.

We love going there with G&G, and it was nice to have the entire gang along. (We may have polished off the restaurant’s supply of chardonnay.)

On the workout front, I have a busy week ahead—t-minus seven days until the Skinnyman Triathlon!

Like last week, I will be using the Empire Tri Club sprint triathlon plan as a guide.  Technically, I’m supposed to be tapering, but I’ll feel better if I complete a couple of bricks (like swim-bike and bike-run).  With this in mind, here’s this latest edition of Write It Down, Do It Up!

(If you’re new to WIDDIU, here’s how it works:  Every Sunday evening, I will post my workout schedule for the week, and I invite you to do the same.  This way, we can motivate each other and hold ourselves accountable.  Sounds like a win-win, right?)

Monday – 25-minute open-water swim (OWS); 45-minute bike (most likely the Cazenovia Triathlon course)

Tuesday – 25-minute bike (about half of the Cazenovia Triathlon course); 30-minute run

Wednesday – 30-minute OWS

Thursday – 45-minute bike

Friday – off or 15-minute OWS

Saturday – Skinnyman Triathlon

Sunday – off or short run

Do you have a race this week?  What are your training goals this week?
