Slo Open 08

[Budho]

You both did a great job. DNF over 130m is already a considerable result. Miha finished 13-th on WChampionship in Maribor with 135m.
Have you two done any other sports on high level before or you just started with freediving and that's it?
I had experienced crushing the wall, but Picasso beat me. :crutch

I had competed in swimming from my 6 to about 12 years, and than just normal sports, fitness, bike, scuba, etc.

I didnt train any sport before, when I found freediving is what I was looking for, I quit smoking and drinking and start train, improove very fast.

we have just find our selves in freediving . As far as my DNF, I had 6 time third place in breaststroke (50, 100, 200m) in Slovak championschip and 1 time 2nd when I was young. That's maybe why i can do 140 m even with crashed forehead. Now I just have to get used to that I cannot submerge mo nose and mouth after going up .

Ales, do you also have averall results? I have fond just separate by discipline.
