Since Monday, things that went down, kept coming up. Fortunately, the food is finally staying down and I returned to work and then fencing practice last night. I didn't think I could make it through a full day of work and then practice but I wasn't pushing hard and I survived well enough that I'm catching a ride to Louisville tonight for a small local competition.

I expect 5 5-touch bouts and one DE. It's a mixed competition of mostly young guys and includes one C-rated fencer. I am not overly optomistic about results. I am, however, looking forward to shifting into competitive mode versus practice and preparation mode.
