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 4

Workout:
1. 5 rounds of 3xDeadlift then max Hand Stand Pushups.

3 hours later

2. 6x800m w/ 90 sec. rest

Results:
1. 405(PR)/9, 405(f)/8, 385/7, 385/6, 385/6
2. 3:24, 3:17, 3:15, 3:14(PR), 3:12(PR), 3:10(PR)

Notes:
Two PRs!  The first workout went well, but with a little better form I think I could increase both Deadlifts and HSPUs.  Still, my old Deadlift 1RM was 405, so this is a new 3 rep PR.  Workout two was even better!  My previous 800m best was 3:15 so 3:10 isn't bad especially considering it was done on a crappy 200m track.  Still, that first round was a bit to cautious.

Other News:
NYTimes had an interesting article today about walking the entire circumference of Manhattan.  Sounds like a fun thing to do as a way to change up a Saturday's training session.  Read more about it here.
