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.

Final Countdown: Day 11
Workout:
1. "Amanda"
9-7-5
Muscle Ups
135# Squat Snatch
3 hr rest
2. 10 min AMRAP
10 x 135# Squat
12 x Hand Release Push Ups
Results:
1. 16min
2. 8rnds + 9 Squats
Notes:
Muscle ups are still difficult for me, but I can see improvement. I'm starting to link them together, including a turnout at the bottom. The AMRAP went well. I wanted 9 rnds, but the hand release pushups were the limiting factor.
