Benny's Freediving Adventures: March 2008
http://freedivingbenny.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 1, 2008. And the crowd goes wild. 'ish. It's that sort of attitude in Australia that holding breath = death that really stifles any media attention. Do I sound bitter enough yet? Mum: Are you worried that something will go wrong and you'll die Ben? Ben: Ummm, errrr. no mum, i'm not going to die. Mum: It's a very dangerous sport isn't it Ben? Ben: ummmm. well. not really if you have proper safety in place which we alwa. Mum: But haven't some people died? Ben: ah. ( sweating. These are spre...

Benny's Freediving Adventures: Freedive for Charity
http://freedivingbenny.blogspot.com/2008/04/freedive-for-charity.html
Sunday, April 13, 2008. At the moment I work at Geek Squad. And a while back the guys were throwing around ideas of how they could raise some money for their chosen charity, Children With Leukaemia. Children with Leukaemia is a fantastic endeavour that helps fight the fight for people who haven't yet had a chance to live their lives. They fund research and welfare programs as well as raising awareness of the disease that affects around 500 kids a year in the UK. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Under ...

Benny's Freediving Adventures: On the horizon...
http://freedivingbenny.blogspot.com/2008/04/on-horizon.html
Sunday, April 13, 2008. There's a few things in the pipeline that will keep me very busy over the next few months up to the end of July. On May 3 i'm doing a charity Constant Weight dive (more on that in another post) down at Chepstow, then the following weekend there's the The Great Camberwell Breath Hold. This is a static, dynamic and dynamic no-fins comp at a really nice 25m pool. It's a bit old and shabby looking but it has tons of character and has a cool Victorian feel to it. Just before this cours...

Anna von Boetticher: Ooops...
http://annavonboetticher.blogspot.com/2014/08/ooops.html
Saturday, 9 August 2014. It's impossible to look cute with one of those on! This was a first for me, I can tell you! The surprise was as big as the instant frustration. Interestingly for those that have not (I don't recommend it! At least I get to work on my tan for a couple of days before flying home early, coach cannot complain or tell me to eat more! Meanwhile, it looks like I'll be stuck with pool disciplines for a couple of months - oh no! I wonder if tequila is helpful for statics? Under water, whe...

Kathryn McPhee: June 2011
http://kathrynmcphee.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, 25 June 2011. Wellington Winter Champs 2011. It's been a very long time since I competed. I really struggle for motivation in the meantime. Our last competition was eight months ago (if you don't count the depth comp that I very diligently sat out of and just participated as the safety diver). Here is the video. Sorry it's not very exciting viewing! Unfortunately I felt a bit exhausted after the dive and it showed on my dynamics that followed. I managed 156m with the monofin (must start tra...

Kathryn McPhee: First event – Dynamic without fins heats
http://kathrynmcphee.blogspot.com/2011/10/first-event-dynamic-without-fins-heats.html
Monday, 10 October 2011. First event – Dynamic without fins heats. Start they seemed to have improved but the buzzer remains. All commentary is in Italian and so loud that all you can hear is an echoing noise as opposed to any concise words. Divers even need their coach to assist with relaying the countdowns as they can not hear the numbers poorly enunciated by an Italian speaker in a pool of echoes. Kiwi team: Chris Marshall, me, Guy Brew. Thanks, very nice to read! Love, Courage and Water! In early 200...

Kathryn McPhee: September 2010
http://kathrynmcphee.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 28 September 2010. Cressi World Record Challenge. 25-28 September 2010, Naenae and Porirua Pools, Wellington, New Zealand. We were coming up to Wellington anyway for Simon's mum's exhibition. Opening on Friday so we stuck around for the competition - worth a try. Friday, 3 September 2010. Wellington Winter Champs 2010. I went up there not expecting too much from myself. One pool session a week and a couple of dry breath holds don't really account to enough training in my mind. Anyway, th...Full ...
