We have started with boot camp. It has been over 12 years since we had boot camp. The last ones were in NY with the original JEDI crew. It worked well once. It is time to see if we can do it again. We have four plus me in the camp and the first day has definitely kicked my ass.
The purpose of this camp is to fence everyday, to get in hundreds of bouts over the course of the summer. We are trying every combination and every idea that we can crack out over the next few weeks. From this idea has come some innovative idea such as the sky hook in sabre and the raging scorpion in foil (which we cannot do in foil anymore), as well as the spin out.
If I keep this up I will have made a lot of progress in getting the weight off and my timing back pre NC. After watching some of the other people in the vet 40 fence I really want to drop the 30 extra pounds that I have been carrying around for the last 8 years. I think I can do and the kids have told me that they will make sure they run them off me.
We have made our schedules for the next season and it will be definitely be a growth year for us in many areas.
