CF WOD 6am:
  For time: 6:45
    800 row
    40 20" box jump
    30 15# wall ball

CFE WOD 11:45: swim (with Alice)
  warm up: 100 back stroke & 150 free
  swam for 5 mins - no rest = 250m
  swam 5x50 on 30 seconds rest - every set was 58 seconds. : )
  swam 250 (it was 1:03 faster than first 250)
 This was my best swim day yet!  I had a nice comfortable rhythm and little kick (woohoo - this has been a big problem for me) and Alice kept telling me how great my form was too.  I did breathing every 2nd stroke (alternated from left and right side per length).  Before, I typically was breathing every third stroke.  I think that after a while of that I would get the feeling of needing to speed up so I can get my breath and so my legs would kick in and then I would be exhausted and out of breath.  Today I was able to slow down and keep great form and breath.  I never got to the point of feeling the cardiovascular burn or having to stop, however I was challenged.  Everything just clicked.  During the sets of 50 I was asking if I could have less rest because I was feeling great and didn't need it.  : )  A great swim for me.
