It was a tough fight between Fencing 2000 and Escrime du Lac for the Indiana Cup this year. It was neck in neck until the end of the men's foil competition, but Escrime du Lac held out and took the cup for another year.
Being my first tournament, I was thrilled to help my club. Unfortunately I won no bouts, but managed to touch all but one opponent. I am satisfied.
The Highlight of the day was the comback of Igor Stephanic (my coach) after a 4 year break in competitive fencing. He took first in men's foil.
I even got to meet Scarlet Woman. She took, I believe 3rd in women's epee.
For more details check Escrime du Lac's website at:

And thanks to all of you who gave me advice for the first time tourny (especially, Sam S. and Arcon) and best wishes for the day. I had a great time!
