  1. Start of an Experiment

    It has been ages since I last posted. I have not fenced in a month, mostly due to travel and just being to freaking tired.

    I so hate my recovery me. My Dr. did remind me that I am the poster child for recovery and that there are people who had my surgery who wish they could be in my shape. And remember Mr. Pouty, it has only been 6 months since the surgery. I of course look at it and say, “For God’s sake, it has been six months already.”

    Last week, I was feeling under the weather on Wednesday, and Istvan hurt his back so couldn't give me a lesson on Saturday--so a wash week for fencing.

    Last night, Mannheim, AL, NH and I. Drilled, including the wall drills, then fenced round robins. I was fencing pretty well, feeling tempo. Got tired quickly though--I think one of the contradictions of "fencing light, with tempo" is that it actually requires a lot more strength. ...
