I've always wanted to finish an ironman and this year I've finally had the opportunity to train for one. Unfortunately going to an official ironman races is a huge pain in the ass. The timing doesn't work out (I need to do this before restarting clinic rotations in my residency, i.e. July 2016), they would take tons of time in travel (I've got a 14 month old at home) and they are expensive ($1300 registration fee!). So I've decided to set up my own race, the SOLOMAN.

Day 12

Workout:
1.  10 rounds for time of:
15 x 135lbs Deadlifts
15 x Push-ups (nose to floor standard)

3 hour rest

2.  3x5k intervals w/ 10 minute rest.  Maintain times within a 2-3 minute zone.

Results:
1.  13min17sec
2.  22:14, 24:24, 23:59

Notes:
The first workout went well.  Deadlifts were unbroken, but push-ups broke down a bit towards the end, slowing me down.  The 5k intervals were interesting because it started raining half way through the first round(turns out ipod shuffles are somewhat waterproof), but still they should have been faster.  Ideally, 7 minute miles should be a comfortable pace for me, and I'm not there yet.
