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.

Notes:  Long day of good WODs.  The first one was a bit of a grinder but solid.  WOD #2 was great!  I crushed my times from a few days ago.  Part of it was an improvement of technique, especially with the bag, but I think the rest was due to good competition.  I ran the stairs with Nate, my Death Race partner in arms.  WOD #3 was at Crossfit Metropolis.  The shoulder press was a great PR and the 205 attempts were painfully close...next time.  "Annie" was not a PR, but previous times I've done this WOD were with anchored situps that make a huge difference.
