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 3

Workout:
1.  ~hour of bouldering.
2.  ~1 mi jog.
3.  4 x 500m on a C2 rower w/ 3 min rest between sets.
4.  ~1 mi jog.

Results:
For the four sets my times were:
1. 1:33
2. 1:42
3. 1:42
4. 1:41

Notes:
Bouldering was a good warm up.  My partner in crime Nate, who is also registered for the Death Race dragged me over to a boulder on Pelham Park Drv.  Not a bad spot to climb except for the carpet of broken class that surrounded the rock.  From there I jogged to NYSC (our gym is closed because it's Saturday) and did today's WOD.  Definitely went out a little fast on the first set, but managed to stay consistent through the next three and fought for an extra second at the end.

Other News:
I just found out about the first ever NYC Barefoot Run!  Unfortunately I can't attend because I have an exam that upcoming week (damn you neuroscience), but I urge you all to chuck your shoes, or strap on a pair of Vibrams and check it out.  For more info visit their website here.
