One common characteristic I noticed with most of the German team at the Worlds was the amount that they pack. At what lung capacity they began packing I don't know, but it was long.

When safetying for Huber during his dynamic I thought that he had misunderstood the countdown because he started packing so early - at least 30 seconds before top time. As he packed though it was extremely slow and relaxed.

Pete, you mention that you and eric let air out at some point during your static to make the contractions and relaxing a little easier. I also noticed Tom doing this at the Worlds, but on his recent record video it appears he's doing it quite a bit throughout his breathold, even from the early stages. Interesting.
