Posted September 11th, 2008 at 22:04 by bite ya

It's been a while since i posted a blog on here as i now use my blogspot which is linked onto my signature.

My training is going well since i have found these forums and since i started talking with everyone on here i have taken a different approach to my training (statics and dynamic)

Diet is good and prepairation before training is still experimental but showing signs of improvment.

My static times have been consistantly over 5mins with a 5min 32sec PB...

After the dives in Warm Mineral Springs with cdavis and the level III class, I was getting very frustrated. I went up to Haigh Quarry with WreckRunner from DB here, also did Level III with him. I was getting so frustrated again. I stopped and analyzed my dive and tried to figure out why I was getting such a strong urge to breath, where I had not been getting that before. The first 10m I'm "fine", or so I think. Then I hit 15m and my chest is on fire, I HAVE TO BREATH NOW! So I started...

One Saturday Aug 30th WreckRunner and I met up at Haigh Quarry in Kankakee IL. We were out to practice our line diving. Most of the day was spent with me being frustrated. I could not figure out why kept getting the tight chest, burning urge to breath.

Getting used to hitting a thermocline was a real eye opener! At Haigh, there was not a big drop in vis, but it was noticeable. The temperature is what you notice. I was able to close my eye on a pulldown and I knew where I was...

Almost dove the Illinois River today. I was hoping this was going to be a fun blog entry, but the day ended up a bust.

We set out to recover a sunken boat. I wanted to see how I would do in 0 vis water. A local guy that just got certified with us a few weeks ago swamped his speed boat and sank it in the river near a bridge. Coast Guard wants it out and the ran sonar and "located" it. Corp of Eng. "located" it and so did DNR. The guy brought a fishing boat...
