like i said, no brain damage

When people find out that I freedive, they often ask me how long I can hold my breath. When I answer six minutes, I often get incredulous looks -- like they think I'm lying or something. Then they go on to say things like, That's impossible, you get brain damage after four minutes.

Well, here's something for the non-believers. Oh, and hopefully the rest of you are interested too. This is the video footage of me at the nationals, holding my breath for six minutes and four seconds. It's a personal best.

Don't worry, the video isn't six minutes long -- they fast forward through some of it. And for those of you who really want to see what a competition's all about, here's video of my dynamic swim and my ocean dive.

All this and not the slightest bit of brain damage. Then again, how would I know?

What was I talking about?
