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 34

Workout:
1. 10 rnds of
7 pistols / 7 CTB pullups / 7 front squats (135) / 7 HSPU

3 hr rest

2. 200m run + 400m + 600m run with 1:1 rest in between
-with a backpack with 20lbs of rocks in it
-x3

Results:
1. 9 rnds in 38:04
2. Good

Notes:
I tried to squeeze in the first workout during my lunchbreak and told myself that in order to not be late to class I would finish whatever round I was on at the hour mark.  That happened to be rnd 9.  The rate limiting factor in this workout was far and away the hand stand pushups.  I would get through everything else in about a minute thirty then spend 2 minutes on the hand stand pushups.  Those things take me forever.  The second workout didn't really have a measurable result. but it felt great.  First time I've run with a pack and it takes some getting used to, but my legs are telling me I've put in some good Death Race training today.
