I’ve been a but busy, but competition preparations are going great and I’m about to break some PRs. I’ll post more info soon, but before that enjoy Herbert’s Ted Talk:
I found this video few days ago, but sian also point me to it in the comments. Current freediving is nothing compared to this:
We have national competition coming up on 21st of May and they have category for beginners. I thought that this could be something to motivate me, so I’m going to do DYN, DNF and STA at the competition. My goal is to do new personal bests in all of them.
I’ve divided my training plan into two phases (for now):
1. Phase
2. Phase
I’ll change the plan as I go. This is just the first draft. I’m also getting some extra help for my DNF kick by a swimming coach.
I’ll also post some training updates to give you some kind of idea of my training sessions.
An old technique review from Stig’s seminar which I promised to post here
I decided that I should start posting technique reviews every month or so. To start of I’ll post the videos from last weekend, but I’m also going to find the videos from Stig’s camp – since I think I’ve made some progress from there 
I try to spot the biggest problems in my technique for each video, but please post more pointers. Every comment is highly appreciated!
Balance is off, knees bend too much and I don’t use my hip enough.
Arms and legs are too wide in glide phase. No power in kicks (I straighten my ankles too early). Ankles should be straight. Starting position is too high.
We visited Hvar last August. Trip was spectacular! Great food, warm weather and amazing views! Downside was that there was only one dive shop on the island and they didn’t really want freedivers on their boat which was a shame. That left us on the beach, doing some leisure dives ourselves, which didn’t really bother us since we were on a laid back vacation 
I think the maximum depth was around 10 meters, but that already allowed us to do some equalization training and relaxation. Visibility was great and water temperature was something like 22 celsius, but we survived these short dives without the wetsuit.
Here are some pictures from the trip:

Pool at our hotel at Split, which we visited for two days in the end of our vacation.
