Day 25 - at the Freediving World Championships 2009 in the Bahamas

I just made an easy 80m dive today and tried an even lighter weight. The first couple of days I used neck-weights weighing 2.7 kg, 2.4 kg, 2.2 kg and today I used 1.4 kg.  For tomorrows qualification I will use a new weight, which is approximately 1.9 kg.

Today we were analyzing or dive-profiles to see if there is any room for improvement. I was also weighing my old and my new monofin in the water, to have some more known factors causing speed differences in the descent. Some minor adjustments might squeeze out some extra performance increase.

Tomorrow is the qualification for the girls CWT (constant weight with fins). The day after it's the boys CWT qualification. Another round of poker - how much does it take to qualify without consuming to much energy before the finals?
