Hard training pays off. I've been doing twice a week my yoga routine. There has been change in my state of mind. I could call this feeling transcendence. I do feel more relaxed, aware and less stressed. I've been working on my pranayama exercises and also meditation.
Today was sunday pool practice. Last week I got my new mono to test it out. It's hand made in Russia and I was convinced that it's better than Waterway Glide by someone who definitely knows his stuff. Oh and It is a beauty. Stifness is medium, so it's much more than my previous one. I tried to figure out the best way to turn. There seems to be two popular ways: Goran Colak style, where diver turns sideways and pushes from the poolside with no kick. Other one where diver turns sideways before turn and sweeps mono from below with a kick from poolside. With the new monofin, I do feel ready for the next long dyn dive. I should be able to surpass 2min dive time mark with ease. There is mini competition in three weeks so this will be my intermediate target.
Also I've been doing some walking statics to increase my dive times. Relaxation and mental preparations is important to emphasize. I read some older deeperblue posts by Eric Fattah where he describes techniques to block and prevent contractions. It would be nice to learn these because I do put lot's of effort to withstand the contractions (they start ~2mins in dry static).
Also more importantly, I did 84m pb for dnf today. For the first time I didn't have to think about technique, feet and hand positioning. I just concentrated on relaxation and it was easy dive. I was happy afterwards, because I've tried longer dnf twice on previous sunday practices and they've been failures (first time just gave up after 60m and next time mask filled of at 50m turn).
