Dordtdive being one of the leading events in the Netherlands, turned out to be successful for me. With the goals already set before the competition, I was on a mission to perform my set goals. I had to do a static of 5:15 and a dynamic of 110m or more. The performances on both disciplines exceeded the set goals, doing a static of 5:20 and a dynamic with fins of 120m.
With these performances I set new personal records in competition, previous bests were 5:13 and 109m in Heemstede last month. Not only did I set new personal records, it turned out to be enough to take 3rd place in the competition, successfully ending a good competition.
