Workout
AM =
5 rnds for time
25 KB Swing (2pood)
25 GHD situps
25 GHD back extensions
25 Knees to Elbows
PM =
1 k swim
Results
AM = DNF...hands started ripping at @ 37 min / end of 4th rnd. Switched to regular situps after two rnds....high rep GHD situps make my back feel wonky....no need to push it. The swim was in a small pool....relaxed.
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.

PM = 3 rnds + 3 KB squat snatch
Notes
Running wod was on a wet, grassy field which is very not even and has a slight gradient (hence the alternating times). Cant do a KB squat snatch w/ 2 pood KB very well so it was a snatch followed by OHS....which was still hard, especially on the left!

Notes
Had some technical issues with the bike, rear wheel was rubbing against the brakes...that accounts for the sudden jump in distance after I fixed it. Otherwise a good day of workouts. Becca did the rowing wod, got just over 1000m each row. Lucy is getting more comfortable with standing on her own.

Took a bit over an hour
Notes
Rode w/ Aria from his place to Fiesta Island (~2 miles), did two loops (5.4 miles each) and back (~ 2 miles). Nice easy pace. Fiesta island is super flat, it will be a good spot for the main event.

20 rnds, marked out a course that I finished w/ 3 sec to spare on the first rnd, finished all but one under the time cap

Didn't read the WOD very carefully and did an extra 5 rnds. Thats okay though because I skipped the crossfit mainsite WOD today due to logistic difficulties (woke up to late). Becca went to yoga.

Used my new odometer on the trainer. I haven't figured out how to set the wheel setting yet, so the distant isn't super accurate. I assume this is in units of 10m.
