Today we had a static practice to prepare to upcoming competition, which is in two weeks. My static training has been 99% dry. This was second session in the water. I did one preparation with pranayama, 1 frc and two warmup statics with 3min+ and 3:30. Contractions were light and easy. I only felt the harder ones and did not feel any discomfort. This strategy has worked with me on dry statics really well. Doing two warmups delayed the contractions and also the drop of SpO2. In water I don't know if they have so much of a effect.
After doing the the warmups I did my max. I did 4 deep slow breaths and 3 faster "yawns". Packed ~10 times and go. Contractions came earlier than on the previous one starting lightly under 2mins. They got harder around 3mins and I put my hands to railing at 3:30 mark. From there I just hold on counting slowly to 10. I did game my 4:30 mark. I got up at 4:45 with my first samba unable to do the protocol. What a funny feeling! You feel slightly awkward just after, but can't wait to tell your friends about it :) But I am really happy that I managed to hold easily to the samba in water. Doing it dry has been so far too difficult. Even better, I actually got up by myself. I have pushed to my limit for the first time (and slightly over it).
Next time I can do more minimal warmup, less breath-up and remember to open my eyes to focus on the hypoxia signs around 4mins. Also I remember to do forced hook breath just after my face is out of the water. Regarding the competition this was very good exercise for it.
