Just for a bit of interval between training sessions, my training usually has a 2 week maintenance period. In the maintenance period I get some exercises to reduce the mental pressure, some of those exercises are trying to surface exactly at a certain time or doing a empty-lungs static session. Anything but the usual training schedule. (Picture: Static during Dordtdive 2006)

Today I had to surface on exactly 5 minutes, which I managed to do last week as well. So as the time went by, I got the feeling that it wasn’t such a good static. Just when I thought I got over the point of 4:00 minutes, I doubtfully gave the signal for 5 minutes check. Ready to hear the judgment from Jorg that I still had a full minute to go, he actually asked me how I felt. I gave an OK signal and he told me I was clear to surface. After a good clean surface without any trouble, I was more or less confused about the time I did. Surfacing after a easy static, although not feeling good about the static, 5:35 is a nice time for a maintenance time.
