What a day! What a fortnight! I know I've said it before, but it hasn't sunk in yet!
The lists are up and it's now official - I did it. I'm sure the surface camera will make entertaining viewing - I popped up, clean as you like and have been reminded by a few people of my 'new surface protocol' - noseclip off... OK sign.... 'I'm OK'.... 'Easy peasy, japanesee, lemon squeezie!'... AIDA - what do you think, should it be incorporated into the surface protocol in the new rules?
Seriously though, I have barely been in the water since Triple Depth, just one No Fins session and an FRC session on Sunday. And the rest obviously paid off! It was one of the easiest dives I've ever done! My limits are definitely not at 90m as I thought at Triple Depth. There's more....
Hats off to Nathalia for an amazing dive and she's fine, which is great. No Fins on Saturday and for sure she'll go hard in that one too so I'll have my work cut out for me again.
No doubt plenty of updates to follow this evening,
Thanks to Anna von Boetticher - ANOTHER GERMAN RECORD - 55m CWT, and Stig Severinsen for coaching me today - well, for dragging me between the shore and competition area and generally being super-dooper friends and lovely to dive with
And I don't think anything has been said yet about the INCREDIBLE organisation today. 83 athletes and no delays, perfect safety, no protests so excellent judging and set-up and a truly wonderful day in the water for everyone. Congrats also to Dave King - UK record, and the rest of the Brit Pack for a clean sheet today - 6 white cards out of 6! That's got to be worth mentioning!
Signing off, good night!
