Unfortunatly, I'm stuck in Denmark at the moment, while many of the worlds freedivers are diving and competing in the 7th Team World Championship in Sharm el Sheik, Egypt. All I can do at the moment is follow the results and gossip from Deeperblue and cross my fingers for all my friends down there. Go Denmark! Go Brazil, Sweden, Germany, New Zealand, Czech Republic etc. etc.! 
I really wish I could be there and share the experience, but there will be more world championships to come. Good luck to everybody :)I've got started on my second year at university and so far it's been nice and easy. I hope to be able to alot of freediving this year too. At the moment I'm working on getting in shape for another pool competition, the Europe Evolution Cup in Italy in october. Monday and Wednesday I did some static sessions and a few dynamic dives working on technique. Today I had a pure swimming workout, and on Sunday I'll be back in the water for a longer DYN dive.
The focus on my training at the moment is: CO2 tolerance (coping with contractions and prolonging the "easy faze"), leg strength and mental strength (getting my mind around the long dives again).
Frustrating being left in a different country isn't it! I *really* wish I could've gone to the worlds this year...
