I want to reach 200+ feet in CWF or FI. I also would like to hit 6 min static. Other than that, I just want to enjoy the water and the new lifestyle freediving has pushed me towards!

indeed it will be fun to read this again at the end of 2008 to see if our wishes became true.....
 
This year was a little disappointing with more muscle atrophy than I thought and problems learning to clear all over again. The new PBs in static and the fact that twice I matched my best in Free Immersion will keep me optimistic for at least another year. The long time goal of diving my age Constant Ballast eluded me again this year. In a way it's good to know that something (besides arteries) gets harder with age.
Maybe my reach will be long enough for yet another PB in '08.
 
-I would like to reach 5min static and go down to 100 feet CWF.
-Make better spearfishing Videos
-Get me one of them MONSTER Lake Michigan Perch!

I would like equalize consistently every time I dive. I would like to dedicate more time to train for freediving yet not get caught up with my competitive personality. I would like to be Billie Ball's safety diver (or one of them) on her 200ft attempt. And finally, I want everyone to laugh when I tell a joke. (Sometimes it would be nice if I wasn't the only one laughing).

I haven't set any goals yet, just trying to get my training back on track.
 
1. get to 60kg in weight (and stay there)
2. 6,15 static
3. get home on time from work
4. dive more often
5. have more time with the bf
6. stick to a proper diet (which i guess is related to point 1.)
7. have more ;) (related to point 5, and 3)
8. finish writing my book (procrastination for five years now)
9. spend more time exercising and less time on the net
10. learn how to do mouthfill and reach 50 metres.

That's my top ten, but not necessarily in that order :D
