Practicing my breath holding with a determination of beating my previous record of 1 minute 40
In this clip you get to see me in my beautiful new cressi summer full wet suit and also features my oval mask.
After a brief introduction, talking about my last filmed attempt I set to slowly working myself up, lots of deep breaths with short holds in between, I start off with a warm up breath hold which actually isn't too bad time wise, although I do struggle, puffing my cheeks a little and screwing my face up.
Then going for my record breaker, I slip on my oval mask, deep breath in and hold it. When I think that I absolutely cannot carry on I quickly whip off the mask but decide I can go on for just a little bit longer, really pushing myself towards the end. It all pays off however and I set myself a new breath holding record! ;-)
