Wow, what a good weekend! Like a told you in the post about freediving we had a very special training on friday evening. Well, not wanting to reveal to much, we had an excellent evening! Soon, I will unleash the team. ;-)
Saterday was a very productive day for me. I’ve got a nice office at my place but it’s a big big mess, and because I’m very fast distracted I needed to clean it up and throw things away I don’t use anymore. I think I threw away half of all the stuff in my office! So that’s a good start. Next is ordening the place and making it an productive environment. Put some motivational quotes and posters on the wall, getting a fridge over there so that I don’t have to walk every time through the house to get a cold drink or something else, etc. Anyway, the project isn’t finished yet, but when I’m done, I’m sure I will post some pictures of it.
Sunday was very relaxing, during day time spending time with my son, daughter and wife. Family time is important for me. As I’m very busy with (too?) many projects I find the time that I spend with my family very valiable, and as soon as I have time, I want to spend it with them outdoors, just going places.
The evening we went to Heemstede, somewhere near Amsterdam, for a freediving competition. I would coach my 2 athletes and be a last minute judge also over there. Unfortunatly one of them, Notis, had a too busy week and was feeling weak, but at least he showed up to support Sanne. It’s funny to see how most freedivers need so many time and warming ups to perform well. One of the basic rules I use is that a freediver can perform anytime within a small range from his peak with minimum warmup time. And so was the case for Sanne as well. 30 seconds before his start he stepped in the water with his bi-fins and swam an excellent and especially important, easy 109 meters. Very clear, more to come! The big performance that evening came from Peter Wurschy with a 146 meter distance with his monofin, which is a new dutch national record. It’s good to see where Peter comes from, after I first introduced Peter to freediving during a course I gave beginning 2004 untill now, where we can see he belongs to the best freedivers in the world.
