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 142

Workout:
1.  5 x 3 Snatch Balance

2. 16min AMRAP:
7 x Clapping Push Ups
14 x Box Jump (24")
21 x Kettlebell Swing (55#)

3 hr rest

3.  Racquetball

1 hr rest

4.  Sledgehammer swings/tire ruck/play around in the snow for an hour

Results:
1. 95-105-115-125-135
2. 6 rnds, 14 BJ, 11 KB swings
3. Several losses...gggrrrr.
4. Lots of fun and a bit of frostnip

Notes:
The snatch balances weren't at maximal load because I really didn't want to drop the bar in my gym.  Maybe I'll do a few more tomorrow at Crossfit Metropolis.  The AMRAP went well.  I felt as though it was simply a KB fest and my erectors were reminding me about yesterday's deadlifts the whole time.  Picked up a new toy recently, an 8 lbs sledgehammer.  Had to go play with it in the snow today.
