The people I work for have rotated my workload dial in a clockwise direction. How rude. Consequently I've had less time to think / writeabout freediving. A little stress is supposed to be good for you, but I'm not so sure when it comes down to excelling at good apnea. This is something I am definitely not doing at the moment. My previous pool / dry static times have been 5m30s and 6m15s respectively. Still, at times like these, it doesn't do to dwell on negatives. You have to carry on with training and be patient.
In any case, the competition scene for the next few months has altered somewhat. I probably won't be venturing to Liege in March - the costof two of us going out there just for me to attempt to break a record, is probably less than the cost of having 2 AIDA UK judges overseeing the attempt in this country. On top of that, my fallback option of a re-attempt at the UK Championships has also been thwarted - these have been postponed until next year. I'm not complaining - more time for conditioning, and less opportunity for other record breakers to step in.
In the meantime, I'm getting closer to deciding my digital camera configuration. I'm hoping to base this around the Olympus C5060WZ. It's not top-of-the-range, but neither is my bank balance. Anyway, I want something reasonably portable that I can freedive with. If any of my images end up being half-decent, perhaps Oceans Image will publish for me.

The elf is bored with the waiting game write up .... if you want to get trashed you gotta post stuff! Meanwhile the weekends 'fun' suggestion from the mume involves a digital camera and a degree of nakedness! I suspect he's trying to capitalize by selling porn on the internet. Little does he know ;) .... and he has the audacity to package the suggestion up as 'wanting a romantic photo of the two of us' .. yeah right!
Being the compliant elf that I am, I'll go with it of course. Who wouldn't!
