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 103

Workout:
1. Surf Session
2. 7 rnds for time:
3 x 185# front squat
7 x L-pullups

Results:
1.  Cold...very, very cold.
2. 6m48s

Notes:
The WOD went pretty well.  Best time posted online was 6:30ish, so I'm pleased.  Granted my L-pullups are pretty weak and a good many of them were probably did not meet game standards.  Still, it was fast, likely because Rebecca was timing me.  Starting my Death Race Simulator tonight!

Day 102

Workout:
1. "DT"
5 rnds for time:
12 x 155# Deadlift
9 x 155# Hang Clean
6 x 155# Push Press

2. Tabata Row

Results:
1. 12m12s
2. Avg. 101m per round

Notes:
"DT" was a little slower than it should have been.  I blame it on the fact that I didn't have bumper plates. The tabata was good though, in the past I've averaged low 90s, so this is an improvement.

Day 101

Workout:
4 rnds for time:
20m walking lunge
10 x ~36' box jump
20 x Pushups
20m walking lunge
30 Situps

Results:
14m52s

Day 100

Day 100!  Rest Day.

Day 99

Travel/Rest Day

Day 98

Workout:
"Randy"
75 x 75# Snatch

Results:
4m52s

Notes:
Did this workout at CFNYC and was pretty happy with the results.  Last time I did this it took over 7 minutes so sub 5 ain't bad.

Day 97

Workout:
1. "Nate"
20 min AMRAP
2 x Muscle Ups
4 x Hand Stand Pushups
8 x 70# KB swing

3 hr rest

2. 5 rnds
60 sec to complete 30 KB swings then 60 sec rest

Notes:
1. 8 rnds + 1 Muscle Up
2.  45 lbs

Notes:
Tried the second workout with the prescribed #70.  The minute timer went off and I had only completed 24, even though they were unbroken so I had to move it down to 45...boo.
