Hey everyone

A late posting from me, after flying to the UK the day after the comp. Again it was a hugely successful competition for me, and that may go some way to proving Will's aclimatisation theories - I live and train in Dahab so the 1 degree increase in water temp did nothing to negatively impact my dives.

Back in the UK, at SaltFree in waters significantly colder - 18 on the surface and down to something that felt VERY chilly at 50+m - I agree that there is a definite 'freshness' about diving in cold water that could be an advantage. Felt vasoconstriction in my feet like I've never felt before! Again, a successful competition, if somewhat conservative announcements given it was my first cold water experience ever! No fins felt much easier than I expected, which was nice!

One week, two great comps, one very happy little freediver! Thanks to both organisers, all the judges, safety divers, scuba safety and tireless behind the scenes volunteers who make it all happen for us.
