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.
