Data I picked up:

- Definitely hyperventilation (CO2 < 2.9 @ start)
- Too little bohr effect near end (CO2 <= 6.03 @ end)
- Insufficient body buffers (shown by contraction @ 4'10 or so despite extremely low CO2)
- Good splenic contraction during the apnea (delta HB >= 1.0g/dl)
- Good hypoxia tolerance (SaO2 46% @ end, etO2 about 3%)

All things considered, astounding times (6'43" , 7'04") given the relatively small VC (<7L)...

I really like the warm up style, one big set, huge break, then gentle warm up, go. Exactly what Laminar and I have been thinking of trying!
