 Pete, that is classified information. I can tell you that it
changes very little between working and riding, and that it
does not change at all during the course of a dive - both 
benefits of physical conditioning. The result? I can exactly
plan my gas, a key element of WKPP's success, and a key 
reason others can not duplicate the dives - they try to
take too much gas, but then they need it because they
took it, and they have no reason to trust themselves not to 
need it, since they are unwilling to put the work in to get
that confidence, all of which comes back to the basics, 
which are eluding most players. Bill Main runs at least four miles
per day, Bill Gavin has always been a big runner, several of 
our people run marathons, like Sankey and Kincaid. I swim 
U.S. Masters, and run local races (10k's and weenie stuff).
People like Jarrod Jazblonski do not even eat meat, and 
work out every day. McKinlay is a runner. Scarabin is in 
top shape. Bill Mee beat a new guy by 1700 psi in 104's in 
a cave dive a few months ago - put that in your pipe and
smoke it. 1700 PSI, but them he spends one hour at least in 
the gym on the bike every night. The new guy got out with 1000,
Bill got out with 2700. This is what we mean by good gas 
consumption. Ask Tom Mount, he has done this for ever, and
has concluded the same thing. -G
