    I posted alot of my goals to my journal, but as an addendum - this season I want at least to get my 'B', and possibly some senior points so I'll have another event to fence at nationals.

    I wanna make the Cadet and Junior team, and make it to the semi's in a Div 1.
    Doesn't sound too hard now does it?

    1) Winning my first open DE and getting a "D" in epee.

    2) Hunking down and really practicing foil (not a high priority as in epee but would like not to embarass myself in in open competitions)

    Recover my fitness after two years of study-enforced minimal training, go to a couple of Coupe D'Nord tournaments, and campaign a Mens Sabre Team to the German Vet Championships.

    MR
    Why sabre? Because you don't take heads with the point.

    Heard that. But I've been considering taking a more proactive approach to the problem. Our division needs more "objective" officers. Any comments Peach?

    1)get healthy.
    2) stay healthy.
    3)fence.

    it is not surprising how few results you get when you are too injured to fence...

    (from someone who has been injured for 12 of the last 14 months in three different and unrelated ways)

    I still can't feel my fingers...

    Get over my debilitating competition jitters, which will probably include learning/living/loving One Touch At A Time and going to more meets that aren't at my home club. I'm tired of kicking our Cs around at practice and then losing to Es in competition.

    1. Work harder
    2. Earn my D in Epee
    3. Compete in my first Saber tournament and not come in last.
    4. Fence in my first Veteran's event and not come in last.

    Fence more, do a little more competition, avoid knee (re)injury. These are mutually exclusive!

    I would like to get through an antire year without injuring another ( or the same) body part, and not be dead last (a spreviously mentioned) in any given tournament. I 'd also like to score at least 8 touches on my 13 year old son in a 15 touch bout. IS THIS TOO MUCH TO ASK, GOD!

    Or you could do what I did and take up a different weapon than the one your kid fences . . .

    No kids here, but there's always the risk that you'll take up a different weapon than the one your, let's just say for the sake of argument, SO fences, only to have him decide a year or so later that yours looks like more fun.
