Thursday 21st April 2005

Just six of us tonight patrolling the lanes. Lucia and Theo on static duty, James and Mark DNF'ing, and Jonny and Miles going 50/50. Theo must have enjoyed his stag night the weekend before - he said he'd pulled a hamster, apparently, which seemed to make him limp a bit. Didn't affect his statics though, as he pulled off another respectable PB...

Richmond Pool may have contained the hapneist group of freedivers in the country last night. Who was there? Lucia, Jonny, Theo, Irvine, Mark, Leon, Robin, Nick and Mark H. Mark H was happy, as *nearly* everyone brought the right money. Lucia was happy, as she had made a good recovery from her illness and was back on form with statics. Robin was happy, as he made a 5 minute PB static. Theo was happy, as he made a 4-length PB dynamic ( I believe that's somewhere between 124-132 metres ). Blinding. ( Theo is anticipating a weekend of debauchery with his forthcoming stag night, so I don't know if that had anything to do with his success! ) Jonny was happy, as he's just successfully completed his AIDA ** Freediver. Nick was happy, as he's about to go away on hols to the Med. Leon and Mark were happy, as they nearly managed PB's in emptying the pool contents. Irvine was happy because Irvine's always happy. Hapnea all round.

Mark will supervise. Anyone planning to come, please post a comment.

Newcomers are welcome tonight, as long as you can let me know beforehand by email .

I need to know what swimming / diving experience you have, and any health / fitness issues that might be relevant. I can then mail you back with what to expect and what you need to bring.

Pool briefings for newcomers will start at 8pm. Meet at The Old Deer Park swimming pool; directions on the link.

Events of the evening:

Newbie night with a good showing from the regulars. We welcomed Mattej for his induction with Steve ( statics only - Mattej and Steve will go over dynamics in 2 week's time ). A bit of a late start, with most people intending to do statics and dynamics, but only having time for the statics. Lars, Jonny, Lucia, Theo, Robin and Mark H all hovering in the shallows, with James, Leon and Mark, up and down the lanes. PB's ( that I'm aware of ) for Lars and Robin in statics.
