do you have the shoes still please answer

hey do you still have the shoes for sale

Yeah, see you then.
You're in Portland now, yes?

Yep. Junior and Senior. Frigging 9:00 start time means I'm leaving here by 6:30....

yeah, sorry about that, are you going to be up this weekend for the state games?

I wanted to remind you about the grips... My hand spends a while wanting to die after every fencing class...

Pretty much.... I dunno what I'm gonna do about it. Next year, I can see my qualifying path for Nationals being Div 1A and Junior, but not if I need to make it to Alaska first.

Or not....

I guess I'll try typing up my response again. It wouldn't post it the first two times.

My club stops during the summer because most of our practice is done at school run facilities, and those close to us during times when the school is closed.

And I really think Alaska needs to have it's own Div1A and Junior qualifiers. I've thought about trying to go, but it's twice as far as anywhere else in the section. It's really not fair to expect us to go up there, or really to expect them to come down here the rest of the time.

This thing seems to be having issues

Got the chance to fence at the U of O, the other night. Some pretty good fencing. Adam Lake handed my ass to me the first time, but I did fairly better the second. I'll probably practice with them during the summer, as my club doesn't continue after July 1st.

I heard recently that next year's sectionals are going to be in Alaska.... That's not going to make qualifying for Junior and/or Div1A easy.
