Anna von Boetticher: Ooops...

http://annavonboetticher.blogspot.com/2014/08/ooops.html

Saturday, 9 August 2014. It's impossible to look cute with one of those on! This was a first for me, I can tell you! The surprise was as big as the instant frustration. Interestingly for those that have not (I don't recommend it! At least I get to work on my tan for a couple of days before flying home early, coach cannot complain or tell me to eat more! Meanwhile, it looks like I'll be stuck with pool disciplines for a couple of months - oh no! I wonder if tequila is helpful for statics? Under water, whe...

Anna von Boetticher: August 2013

http://annavonboetticher.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html

Monday, 19 August 2013. Leave all failures, attempts,. Your dreams not fully dreamt. And in that thirst you'll find a deeper thirst. In that desire,. And it will be as though you'd never wept. So leave your fears behind,. Free your mind,. And dive into the depths. It is time to dive. Find freedom in a step. Of every single breath. And cross the line. That no one sees. And when you return. From the silent depth,. No one can take the freedom. You carry deep inside. Now is the time. Tuesday, 13 August 2013.

Anna von Boetticher: July 2013

http://annavonboetticher.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html

Wednesday, 17 July 2013. It's been months since I have been in blue ocean waters to do any serious freediving training. Painful, but I thought I'd make the most of it and experiment with something different: to see how hard I could kick my ass in the gym over two and a bit months, and then to see if this would have any effect - positive or negative! Training. All the time. Did I mention it? I did not think I could even move it. Three sets with eight repetions each later, it was time to switch directl...

Anna von Boetticher: March 2014

http://annavonboetticher.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html

Thursday, 13 March 2014. Sunny weather is here and people are out in force, which can only mean one thing: it’s time to quit and go freediving! In the (brief) breaks between various attacks of colds, flus and sinus infections, I have been making attempts at getting myself in shape for this over last couple of months. Since I am following advice from my favorite evil doctor, who is definitely up there with evil coach, this has been a predictably painful experience. 65279;. He started making his favorite...

Anna von Boetticher: New year, new job!

http://annavonboetticher.blogspot.com/2015/01/new-year-new-job.html

Wednesday, 28 January 2015. New year, new job! Right 2015 is here. No one knows why these new years always come as such a surprise, and always so suddenly! Mine came with the - totally unsurprising - traditional four week sinus infection, as usual messing up all training ideas. I might try a new approach and just eat chocolate for the entire month of January 2016! In fact, best drink nothing at all. A highlight in our 4m deep diving pool was a helmet diving suit. When I first spotted it, I had nothin...

Anna von Boetticher: February 2014

http://annavonboetticher.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 25 February 2014. Behind the scenes: Safety Divers. Freediving is a funny sport. I think most of us agree that it is a huge mind game. Physical strength and skill is one thing, and certainly important, but if your head is not ready, it cannot work. Thoughts, feelings, subconscious mind - all of it has to play along. People underestimate how important a good safety diver - and over all safety team and system set-up - is for a successful deep dive. 2013 World Championship safety team:. Elisabeth K...

Anna von Boetticher: December 2013

http://annavonboetticher.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html

Wednesday, 18 December 2013. Since the sinuses simply would not unblock themselves even though I stayed mostly dry, I decided to go for a novel experience on the final competition day by announcing – wait for it - 21m free immersion! In a dive time of 2min! Ha Evil coach was ready to disown me, but I had the best time ever. It’s the shallowest official dive I have done since I started freediving, I stopped to equalize every 15cm and I was not nervous at all - amazing! What else could there be? I wonder w...

Wednesday, 2 October 2013. 8217;m back home and glued to my desk in the bookshop, enjoying the beautiful autumn days in the city, coming down from the epic closing party and getting used to not putting on my wetsuit every day to head out to the ocean. 8221; Someone should have been there with a camera – you could not have scripted this if you’d tried!
