Dry training for competition 3

From June I have done a few exercises to prepare for the World Championship in a way that suits me.
I've chosen the same (dry) approch as I did for my other two competitions, only this time I knew I needed to add more water training. I have tried to make all training a little more focused. So rather 1 Apnea Walk a day with good focus and good concentration than do two almost good enough. Fewer sessions/ better focus and tougher training.
Again I did not do any "tables" with a down spiral rest time like 1 min, 50 sec, 40 sec...
Instead I kept it short from the first one and constant. Like 1 min Apnea/ 10 sec recovery x 5-10.
In the pool I've only done 50 meters technique swims and 6 swims over 100 meters, so no "tables" there at all.
I feel like I should have done more work in the pool as I pretty much started freediving from scratch with no swimming experience at all, but as I've rarely have had the chance to train with somebody it has never really been an issue. The times I've had a buddy I have tried the longer swims.
This time I have also worked a lot more on flexibility and streching.


During 122 possible training days I have trained 113 days and on 212 occasion.

I have been to the pool 18 times.

I have improved my DNF max from 134 meter to 171 meter.

Static max have not been improved.

Static max

                  5-6 min                                11 times
                  6-7 min                                19 times
                  7-8 min                                  7 times
                  8 min                                     2 times

Walking Apnea

 Co2                                                       43 times
                  1 min/10 sec X 5-10
                  45 sec/5 sec X 10
                  1.15 min/15 sec X 5-7


No Warm Up
           
                   2-3.30 min                           25 times

plus Static Co2 training(3 min/10 sec X 5-7), stretching, max packing, strength set, light jogging. 

It may not be the best way to train but I feel like it suits me quite well. I should have done more 7 min plus static but I hit the wall in Static in August. Started with No Warm up/No Breathe Up but I kept giving up breathold like I'd never done before. So I took a big step back and started with warm up again and decided to always stop the breath hold in full control and with more left in the the tank. To take back control. To keep it positive.

With this training I feel I have a good ground to stand on and have confidence going into the water.
But on the other hand I felt I had prepared well for the Finnish Championship also, and there I hit rock bottom. Literally! But the main thing with good preparation is that you feel confident and you also don't have to hope for a good result. The result is the receipt of the preperation. Nothing more.
The swim in Finland was bad not because I had bad technique or missed a turn there etc.
I missed a turn and had bad technique because I failed in the preparation (didn't try the pool before, got stressed when things didn't go as planed).
What works in one pool doesn't always work in another one. Lesson learned...
