Back 2 Training & Extreme Ironing!

After a 6wk break from training at the gym and pool, and with Christmas and new year new over and done with including the seasonal coughs and bugs, it was back to training!

Really hit it hard this week all in preparation for a World Record Attempt this weekend. Extreme Ironing! Myself and another 127 divers including other freedivers from SaltFree are getting together at Chepstow to try a new WR in this crazy sport. People have tried ironing up Everest and even jumping out of planes but never underwater with this many people before. (and never in temperatures of this kind either!!) The Ozzies currently hold the WR for the most divers underwater ironing at the same time, not for long....(come on the UK)

I'm sure there will be lots of pictures coming on here soon....

Pool training last night was hard, i only managed 4mins 45sec on my last hold taking around 40 contractions but i suppose that is what happens when you don't train for ages. I tried my new fins (Cressi Gara Pro's) they were fine, really flexible and comfortable.

Off to pack my bags for tomorrow's trip to Wales now....
