Even Martin Rests

May 26, 2009 in Event, Martin Stepanek by Jorg Jansen

After setting two world record in two consecutive days even Martin Stepanek needs to rest a little. Of course the fact that the whole team is suffering from the famous Egyptian disease Yalla Yalla is making the decision to rest not that hard. So two days of rest have gone by and yesterday Martin already felt a lot better. So probably he will do an attempt today again to break a freediving record.

My guess is constant weight 125 meters. But who knows… Enjoy the rest day video!

PS: News just came in that Martin did a training session for constant without fins! Apparently the session went as planned, even though the current was pretty strong. Sounds good to me!

My guess would be CNF first and then two more improvements of CWT.
