You cab find the article here : http://www.glennvenghaus.com/freediving/articles/Columbus.pdf Fri, 2 Dec 2005 15:58:31 -0800 http://www.glennvenghaus.com/freediving/index.php Sunday 23rd October 2005 ( 10:12:45 AM ) Today I managed to break the current Dutch national record Dynamic Apnea with fins and reset it to 137 meters. Was not easy but I am a happy man ;-), also because now I own all national records in the pool disciplines. Cooool. In the same event , organised by Roger Keizer from www.waves.nu, Nanja van den Broek reset the women national record with 116 meters. Also my girlfriend Patricia Ribas did a new personal best with 85 meters. Next events, Wiesbaden and Hungary......

My aricle and lots of pictures about Renens you can find here. http://www.glennvenghaus.com/freediving/articles/WK2005.php Sun, 11 Sep 2005 15:08:36 -0800 http://www.glennvenghaus.com/freediving/index.php Monday 02nd May 2005 ( 09:45:12 AM ) Its done !!!!! I have made the Dutch selection for the World Champions in the disciplines Static and Dynamics without fins ;-) The last I presume was due to my unexpected latest developments and national record in this discipline. The pool events will take place in Lausanne and the deep event in Nice (see agenda). The complete Dutch selection consists of : Men Kars van Kouwen (STA) Pim Vermeulen (CW) Haico Aaldering (DYN, DNF, CW) Fred Steegstra (DYN) Glenn Venghaus (STA,DNF) Women Nanja v/d Broek (CW,STA,DYN,DNF) Susan Kluytmans (CW,STA) Renate de Bruijn (DYN,DNF) Mon, 02 May 2005 09:45:12 -0800 http://www.glennvenghaus.com/freediving/index.php Sunday 17th April 2005 ( 02:53:17 PM ) Tonight at the local dynamics competition in Heemstede in the Netherlands I had a very good day and broke the old National Record in the no-fins discipline (107 meter by Haico Aaldering) with a new distance of 114 meters in a time of 2'06''. This is also 33 meters !! more then my old personal best I did in January this year. Don't need to mention how extremely happy I am with this performance ;-) A good way to close of the indoor season. Hopefully my latest progressions also affect my outdoor performances in a similar way.........

The most important one is that I switched back to bi-fins (C4-30) for Dynamics, which suits me more. This move has been very succesfull in that at each competition I improved my personal best to now a 112 Meters at the last competition in Paris (after beeing very ill for 1 week). I feel that this progress will rapidly continue..... This , combined with a good static of 6:06 also gave me a 3rd place at the Berlin Masters Cup in february. Finally I start to like dynamics ;-) Mon, 21 Mar 2005 08:45:24 -0800 http://www.glennvenghaus.com/freediving/index.php Friday 19th November 2004 ( 03:30:16 PM ) Today the Dutch National Record Static Apnea was broken during the 1st Static Night in Eindhoven. The new record time is now 6:45 min , a clean 26 seconds more than the previous record held by Kars van Kouwen , a close friend of mine. And guess what ... IT WAS ME ;-) Fri, 19 Nov 2004 15:30:16 -0800 http://www.glennvenghaus.com/freediving/index.php Wednesday 13th October 2004 ( 02:09:19 PM ) New streaming movie section featuring one of my latest underwater movie productions filmed in Komodo National Park (in scuba ).

This involved a free immersion competition and a optional constant weight dive in La Roche Fontaine. We all set new personal bests. Kars van Kouwen set a new Dutch National Record CW of 42 meters and Caroline Berghuis set a vacant FI national record at 27 meters (both pending approval). Roland van den Akker overcame his longlasting equalisation problems by finishing with a nice 35 meters CW . I did a 35 meters FI and a 36 meters CW, both new PB's. So a very succesfull day for all of us, with lots of thanks to our Belgium friends for making this possible.

Check out the daily logbook of our adventures: http://www.glennvenghaus.com/freediving/News/CyprusReloaded.php Mon, 07 Jun 2004 21:00:52 -0800 http://www.glennvenghaus.com/freediving/articles/Maggia2004.php Thursday 03rd June 2004 ( 07:52:35 PM ) From fri 28th May till mon 31 May 2004 we attended the 2nd Swiss recreational freedive meet in Vale de Maggia Switserland. Here a report and some photos: http://www.glennvenghaus.com/freediving/articles/Maggia2004.php Thu, 03 Jun 2004 19:52:35 -0800 http://www.glennvenghaus.com/freediving/index.php Monday 17th May 2004 ( 12:55:24 PM ) Saturday we competed in the 5th Open Swiss Indoor freedive championship. For the first time I managed to do a good static in a competition. My hart rate was still much higher then normal, but I managed to do a 5min58 and this was good for the gold medal. Dynamics with fins I aborted due to stomach cramps and dynamics without fins (first time in competition and never did more the 25meter in training due to lack of interest) I did an ok 62 meters (without pushing it). I found a new interest in this discipline, whereby the general feeling comes much closer to static then my current monofin swim. Patricia aborted her static after a mistimed preparation en general feeling of "not today", but did a nice 50 meter dynamics with fin after being stuck with her mono in the start line and struggling under water for at least 10 second. Most people would give up after this, but she showed character. Was surprisingly good for silver because most of the competition went into LMC.

My Dutch National record static apnea of 6:03 was broken by a fellow freediver Peter Wurschy who, together with Pieter Buis, had organised this record event in our favourite static training pool in Haarlem. Pieter, who was first to have a go at it unfortunately had a heavy samba at around 6:15 and was pulled out by the safety diver. Further attempts stayed without success. Peter on the other hand did a very clean and tactical 6:08 on his first attempt followed by a very good (but close) 6:16. A well-deserved new record I must admit. But then again,records are there to be broken................. Fri, 14 May 2004 09:50:15 -0800 http://www.glennvenghaus.com/freediving/index.php Monday 26th April 2004 ( 09:37:51 AM ) Sunday 25 feb, Patricia myself and 8 other Dutch freedivers attended the indoor freediving competition in Huy Belgium. Strong varing results among the Dutch delegation. Myself, I aborted my static at 4 minutes, caused by a changed and mistimed breathup combined with lack of wilpower to fight, but had a new PB at dynamics with mono of 94 meter. This also after a modified warmup routine. Patricia had her first samba at static and it was a beauty ;-) Kars van Kouwen unfortunately blacked out at an attempt to break the Dutch national record dynamic no fins at 100 meters but won the static comp with a nice 5'58''. Highlight was the battle of the titans, between Renate de Bruyn (Dutch current world record holder dynamic no fins at 100 meters) and Yamina Enedahl-Mekki (Swedisch former record holder). Yamina could not break Renates world record followed by Renate resetting it to a massive 104 meters.

I used 4 attempts to do this : - 1st no timekeeping - 2nd 3:30 min - 3rd 5:00 min - 4th 7:00 min The next goal is to repeat this wet.... Go here to see the cardiogram / O2 curve http://www.glennvenghaus.com/freediving/media/7minStatic_O2_BPM.php Sat, 27 Mar 2004 12:55:29 -0800 http://www.glennvenghaus.com/freediving/index.php Friday 05th March 2004 ( 04:39:21 PM )Both myself and my girlfriend/freedivebuddy Patricia Ribas are now on for Cyprus. Flight's and hotel has been booked. 3 month's to go and lots of training to do, but looking at the competitors list , it will be a great event. Now also AIDA approved ;-)Competitors list and further info at http://freediver.co.uk/foc2004 Fri, 05 Mar 2004 16:39:21 -0800 http://www.glennvenghaus.com/freediving/index.php Friday 27th February 2004 ( 12:18:57 AM ) On 21 Feb 2004 I went with Patricia W. Ribas to the Berlin Masters cup. I had reasonable result but still too much competition stress. Have to work on that. Static 5:03 Dyn 78m Patricia did well above expected and did 2 PR's. Static 4:00 Dyn 57m. Now back to more training for Huy (Belgium) in April. Greetzzz, Glenn Venghaus Fri, 27 Feb 2004 12:18:57 -0800
