Two weeks of progress: after a short vacation, I returned strong—5:20 STA and a new DNF PB of 133m. Small technique changes made a big difference. More training insights and tips coming soon—excited to share what’s next!

Overcoming setbacks and unlocking new PBs—131m DNF and 6:09 STA 🎉✌️. A shift toward relaxed, mindful diving and refined technique paid off. Training now focuses on 75m dives for better body awareness. Progress, not perfection, is the path forward.

Despite solid prep and near-PB dives in training, I struggled during the recent competition due to poor sleep, long travel, and stress. Two failed dives were a tough lesson, but I’m refocusing on managing competition-day challenges and growing from it.

The two weeks before the pool competition were tough—switching from depth training, limited pool time due to rest and travel, and vacation plans disrupted my routine. Still, a no-wetsuit session in another city helped me stay mentally connected to training.

Focused on technique and control, I trained for a local comp with 20m depth and a 2m hang. Despite a setback post-illness, my prep paid off—I hit a 42m CNF dive, a new personal best!

The last two weeks were focused on rest and dive safety awareness. I trained rescue scenarios, improved safety procedures, and had strong sessions both in water and at the gym. I achieved significant dives, including a 155m dynamic bi-fins personal best.

Another week of freediving progress! I hit a DYNB PB of 140m, and completed very good 112m DNF dive, both feeling strong. Depth sessions were rewarding, and I explored CO₂ and hypoxia training. Plus, an insightful exchange with Michaela Werner on freediving journey, lessons learned and mindset.
