Something of an Introduction

Or an excuse. I should have learnt long ago to never jump into things I don't understand properly. Some people call it the deep end, but that's where I always seem to find myself. So this blogging thing - a week ago I'd never heard of it. I've looked at a handful of other people's blogs, and decided that I can make something that probably has nothing to do with the concept, and yet could be useful to me, and maybe one or two others.



I'm thinking here of sports training, coaching, or a bit of both - specific to the sport of freediving. It's something I do, something I compete in, and something I teach. I now find myself at a junction, where I have arrived at from one route, and have multiple paths leading away. Competitive freediving has brought me to this point, and from here on I can continue in that direction, and/or consider continuing teaching, judging, coaching, or something a bit more creative.



I feel that there is unfinished business in the competitive arena, and some shortish-term objectives to be met. This journal will be my guide on that path. I need to experiment in order to push boundaries further, and I need to keep a record to find what may work, and what will never. A recent period of IHT produced some interesting results, as has the last 12 months of training.



I need to get more detail down, and this I will do in due course. The journey begins here. Along the way there may be deviations into other places - music, books, films, and uncharted regions of my cranial cavity. That way, it might even be interesting to someone else.
