St. Johns Fencing Tourney

So life was good to us!

SMCM tied for first against navy and Maryland college park. the indicator will decide the final score, but it hasn't been tallied as of yet.

we woke up at 5 this morning, registered around 8, and then fenced until around 6, went to dinner, and got home around 9:30.

It was a great bonding experience. I screamed and yelled at everyones bouts, as i found this helped sway the directors. (none of whom are actually certified to direct) Craig fenced just as well as i did, if not better. His mommy and daddy came and documented the entire event! Video cameras AND still shots. I wasn't really in my zone until our last three bouts, which i fenced against MD and fenced my best of the whole day.

St Johns is a beautiful college, and Annapolis is a great town. It made me wish we had a college town. I think we made the right decision in attending the Tourney. Although i really wished i had a coach there to turn to for advice... it was a lot of fun to be really fencing again.

  1. You must still be pretty good if you can tell the difference between your first few bouts and REALLY fencing.
