Back from Dahab

That was a good one. Oh boy!

Diving

The first couple of days, I kept chickening out (Thanks, Sara, for that apt description

) at 25m instead of going to my (then) PB of 32, which was my goal for the first days.
It was Sebastian's (Naslund) advice to 'Just let the rope down to 32 and then go there next time' that got me started in my CWT training, so the next day Marc (Guerrin) did safety for my new PB down to 34m In the bay. The day after it was 36 in the...

Kai in KN

boring stuff

Posted September 1st, 2007 at 18:54 by sanso

Okay, at last I have somewhere to put my training efforts.

PBs first:
STA: 4:10 at the AIDA *** this summer
DYN: 75m at the AIDA **** this summer
CWT: 32 at the AIDA **** this summer
CNF: 13 playing around at the AIDA **** this summer
FIM: 29 trying out the discipline at the AIDA **** this summer

Now I'd just have to keep using this so I can see how things evolved.
