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 154

Workout:
1. 4 rnds for time:
12 x Push Press 115#
40 x Squat

3 hr rest

2.  2 x mile repeats @ 7% grade and 2 minute rest

Results:
1. 6m40s
2.  7mph pace

Notes:
I definitely noticed that I'd taken some time off on that first workout...it should have been faster.  The run was alright, hard to pace on a treadmill but it got my lungs going.

Other News:
Got this email yesterday from Andy.  Anyone else interested?
