In Fencing Journals Open last weekend... |

I didn't know I could still do that crap in pools. I went 3-3 but I was just fighting for every touch. No skill or ability, just brute willpower pulling me though.
Seeded 15th. DEs were much better. Put away the 18th seed easily 15-10 mainly on double touches. Next bout was MR who took me apart 5-2 in pools. I had my revenge; I was up 9-2 at one point. Ended 15-8 or so. Beat ME (clubmate) in a close bout 13-12 to make the 4.
Bout in the for was Vaktang Iagorashvili, who I'd seen coaching for a local club but not known who he was. Apparently he took 9th in Athens in the Pentathalon. He hadn't fenced since, but he had enough time in pools and DEs to recover enough to crush me 15-9. It was a good bout though, and I learned a lot. Final place: 3rd.
Next competition is an open at the BFC on the 22nd or so, followed in quick order by the Temple Open and the Big One. Whee.
