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 22

Workout:
1.  40 sec on 20 sec off x 5 run.

3 hr rest

2.  21 -15-9
Left arm 55 lbs DB snatch
Right arm 55 lbs DB snatch
Pullups on thick grip bar

Results:
1.  10% grade for all 5.  Speed(mph) = 10,10, 9.5, 9, 8.5
2.  7m30s

Notes:
1.  I started seeing stars about half way through and had to slow it down a bit for fear of being thrown off the treadmill.  Still, it kicked my butt.
2.  This went pretty well.  DB snatch was unbroken.  Pullups were done in two sets using a butterfly/kipping combo.

    10 mph?? That should be a good pace for 26 miles, right?

    Haha, I wish. That's 6 min/mi. I'm hoping for something around 8:30 min/mi. It makes me shudder when I think of people actually running 26.2 miles at sub 6 min/mi speed. But then again, I bet they have a crappy Fran time?

    I'm going to guess that most marathoners don't usually make Fran part of their training schedule. I think 8:30 is a good goal, unless you feel like cutting out CrossFit entirely, which I'm pretty sure is blasphemy.
