	I'm off to Uganda to paddle the White Nile in about 48hrs time (jealous?!) :o) and amidst the whole excitement a little bit of anxiety creeps in... How long can i hold my breath? How fit am i? I timed myself (whilst not doing anything strenuous) and managed 1 minute 20secs... I was quite impressed with myself... until my mate had a go... 3 minutes??! What the f**k?? Am now brikking myself and wondering whether my general fitness can cope with big, sorry, huge volume class IV/V water... Aargh!!! Just wanted to know how long other people can hold their breath in an attempt to prove to myself that my mate is a superhuman freak, and i am somewhat more normal... Any help??
