A Record Free Dive by a Runner!
Manage episode 335072684 series 3243066
Alex Llinas @saltyfreediver dove 70m (230’) without fins or the aid of any propulsion or pulling…it is basically a modified breast stroke all the way there and back. It was a Continental record for South America and his 5th National record. I did it because just like with running, I wanted to explore the results of dedicating a year to freediving training would have and to see where my limits are or as you would say without limits. I also want to hopefully inspire some people to chase their goals and dreams despite adversity and what life throws your way. If a at 44 years a person that has had cancer and other health issues can successfully start their competitive freediving career, so can many others start to pursue their dreams and passions. It is early in the year and my 1st competition, but have a few other goals and comps coming up and I am hopeful Incan overcome some of the issues I am having with my equalization. This is a journey and nothing is guaranteed, but i’m sure gonna try like hell!
