Last week was a lazy week for me. I only fenced for Two day and went to the fair on thursday instead of fencing with John Rae. This week i wont be so lazy. Ill be fencing for 2 1/2 hours a night for 3 nights this week. Might go and check out the one touch epee epee tournament this weekend. No way would i compete but i might take my friend nick so he can see what a tournament is like and how it is run. I am going to try to get my fencing to 5 days a week until qualifiers and get back into my footwork routine. Ive become rather lazy for the past week due to incessant studying for midterms and a yearbook deadline is coming up soon. School work and fencing is my concentration for the next 19 days until JO qualifiers. Im studying everything from sport fencing, to spanish rapier to medival combat. Although i am only practicing sport fencing for the time being. On a side note i reccomend that alll people who love fencing should read the book "The fencing Master" Its about a fencing master in the late 1800's who is approaced by a woman who wants to learn the "unstoppable thrust". Its a great book and becoming one of my favorites.
