Easy 10
Brain dead MUG SHEEP
Slow day at work, so using the stopwatch on my phone I thought I'd see how long I could hold my breath for. I've had a few goes, and my best so far is 1min 19s. I think I was on course to beat that in my last go, as I'd gone well past 1m and was still feeling pretty comfortable, but then someone came over and talked to me (I had to disguise my rather excessive exhalation as a sigh, but as it was regarding something tedious, I think I pulled it off rather well and largely got away with it).
Interestingly, I do better when I DON'T breathe in too much air at the start, as it makes me feel overly full, and the discomfort starts much earlier than if I've left a bit of room in my lungs. This knowledge could be crucial if I ever have to swim through a submerged pipe to escape a flooding room, so if nothing else, I feel this has been far from a waste of time. OK I could do it in my own time, but frankly, I have bigger fish to fry.
Anyway, how long can YOU hold your breath for ?
