Time to update the description. WSV50 fencer since 2004. Mostly recovered from two meniscus tears in 2006 (not fencing related) and other minor injuries. Focused on improving fencing skills and avoiding injuries. Goal is to qualify for the WSV60 team in 2012.
I wasn't certain until this morning that I'd be able to compete as I was still sneezing, wheezing, and coughing through most of Friday. However, I stopped sneezing late Friday night so I packed Dayquil and headed out Saturday morning.
I was seeded 16th, was 16th out of the pool, and lost to #17, who was one of my clubmates. This, however, made me the #2 finish for women. Unfortunately, none of us women survived our first DE, not even the C-rated fencer.
On the up side, the directing was excellent and I noted a few more problem areas that I need to work upon before Pittsburg.
