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 55

Workout:
1. 5x1 Overhead Squat / 5x1 Front Squat / 5x1 Squat

2.  Easy 1/2 mile swim

Results:
1. 135,145,155,175,185 / 225, 245, 265, 275, 295 / 305, 315, 325, 335, 345(f)

2. N/A

Notes:
I made a promise to myself that since it was just two days after the marathon and my ankle still isn't 100% that I wouldn't push myself to PR.  After all, how stupid would I be if I hurt myself by doing heavy squats two days after a marathon on a hurt ankle.  Anyway, my ankle is fine so I guess I did okay.  Would have been nice to get that last squat though.

    Sometimes, I can't believe you are really going to do this -- but then I know that if we did all the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves --
