My plan of not doing any foil the week before a sabre tournament backfired tonight. The club tournament we did the other week we didn't finish. We only did pools. Apparently we were adding DE's. There was something about wanting me to do my DE on Friday, but both April and I agreed that I shouldn't do foil on Friday with a tournament on Saturday. The DE's were going to be 9 points each...I think we made it to 6 points. We weren't timing and there were so many off targets between the two of ...
I took a class on meditation Saturday, and my back started hurting then, but I think it's that I shouldn't do the cobra with a neck turn when I'm doing my low-key yoga stretches. I probably shouldn't do the cobra at all. But it feels so good! Oh, well. Almost no one was there for fencing. I did footwork for about half an hour, and then Donna showed up. We fenced for a half an hour or so, and then I took a lesson with Mark. It was fairly low-key, just cutting to the opening, ...
In case anyone is curious, here's a picture of my daughter, discovering the lifesize poster of herself at the merchandise table. [Poster was not for sale. There were two display posters and one of them happend to be her image.] http://www.flickr.com/photos/tomklubens/4282711777/ That site on flicker also has several other pictures from the derby bouts.

Then I came back and immediately fenced the Duel and a NAC. My cardio and my muscular seem to be completely disjoined, and that was interesting to me. At these two tournaments, my movement was just as fast before the break, but i becamse winded so easily it made me upset. My muscles still had the strength and explosiveness, but my heart and ...
I drove 2 hours north to fence in Ft. Wayne and managed to make it there without drinking caffeine. [Whew! Still caffeine-free in 2010. OTOH, this did NOT make for safe driving, even with loud music.] The women's event was first and I had hoped more than the 4 pre-registered would participate but there were only three of us and all of us had driven 2 hours from the same general area to fence. This is not cost-effective and I'm trying to get something organized so that us women from ...
