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.

6/14/15

Workout
AM =
20 rnds of
100m sprint / 1 min rest
PM =
12 min AMRAP
10 x 2pood KB Squat Snatch
50 Double Unders

Results
AM = 22/20/18/18/17/17/16/18/17/18/16/17/16/18/17/18/17/18/16/18
PM = 3 rnds + 3 KB squat snatch

Notes
Running wod was on a wet, grassy field which is very not even and has a slight gradient (hence the alternating times).  Cant do a KB squat snatch w/ 2 pood KB very well so it was a snatch followed by OHS....which was still hard, especially on the left!

6/13/15

Workout
AM =
20 rnds of
20 sec bike sprint / 1 min rest
PM =
5 rnds of
5 min row
5 min rest

Results
AM = 280/260/250/270/270/260/270/270/220/340/290/290/290/290/260/270/260/290/320
PM = 1373 / 1388 / 1398 / 1410 / 1411

Notes
Had some technical issues with the bike, rear wheel was rubbing against the brakes...that accounts for the sudden jump in distance after I fixed it. Otherwise a good day of workouts.  Becca did the rowing wod, got just over 1000m each row.  Lucy is getting more comfortable with standing on her own.
