Eric, that was a joke about fred right ?
Hey guys the static results are up now !
http://www.freediver.co.uk/foc2004/staticresults.htm
My friend and training buddy Ryuzo got 1st place, yay !
Was a bit dissapointing he DQ'd his dive. He reached 88m in training!
Timmo's points or static time are wrong, they don't add up. I thought he did just under 7 or so, then lost points.
It's very funny to see my name up there in 6th place. I have always considered myself to be lousy at statics. I hated them and pretty much stopped training statics altogether except leading up to a comp. My PB last year was 6.21, and in the 1st week of training I was doing around the same. In the last week of this competition I tried a few different things, bit more hyperventilating, lots more packing. Next time I did 6.48, then 6.50, and the day before the comp I finally hit the magic 7 !
In the comp I actually came up early because I had already DQ'd my dive :waterwork and I wanted to play it safe.
Cheers,
Wal
