It cannot be healthy. I didn't even do this in college. Perhaps its because the club is closed for the holidays and I have had too many days off from work...but I am seriously obsessed with my upcoming first tourney as a returning fencer. I have been checking askFred daily to see who has preregistered and looking to see how old, skilled, etc they are (that's google for you!). I have been watching all foil bouts on youtube and fencingchannel. In part it is helping my restart jitters, but at the same time I could be psyching myself out. My hubby is clearly humoring me and has not commented on the fact I have been doing nothing but talk fencing for the past two weeks. He even built me a fencing dummy with my old college fencing jacket.
I think once I actually attend the competition things will die down inside, demons quelched until the next one. Though part of me hopes that this frenzy inside won't die down, this obsession won't ever end because for the first time, since college, I feel like I am 20 again and boy is that ever a good feeling.
