Got an "E"

**damianip** · 11-18-2001 02:04 PM

I took my son to a couple of tournaments today. I decided to fence myself since I hadn't bouted in a week.

Finished 9th in the Div. III, but I won the unclassified that followed. I got an E01 for my efforts. A nice plus when all I wanted to do was loosen up a bit.

Nice going, Paolo! How old is your son? I fenced foil and saber on Saturday here in Michigan and had a blast. Didn't get rated, but that's not what I went for. The important thing is that I was there to root for my students, and actually get a chance to fence myself.

Congratulations, Paolo. BTW, which weapon?

Oops. Duh.

That would be épée. I would have a hard time winning a single bout in foil or sabre.
