Yes...my apologies...
I'm working graveyard and will be until October. Sound terrible? Meh, I get used to it. Hence why I am writing this at three in the morning.
Since starting this blog months ago and not posting, I have had three tournaments. The Battle in Seattle, SFU January Joust, and the MTFC Day-After-Valentine's Day tournament. All provided good learning experiences. At SFU, I fenced in a sabre event for the first time. It was very fun, but exhausting. I also did epee right after sabre and...well...did miserably. My timing and distance were completely off not to mention I was worn out from all the running sabre requires. At MTFC, I won my first DE. That was a huge step for me, since I typically loose my DE's (by a lot). I placed the highest I ever have (8th out of 19) but that rating is as elusive as ever...
One big change was my decision to put sabre on the back burner for a while. Yeah, after competing with it once, I realized I couldn't put the time into two weapons that I wanted. I spend approximately ten hours a week with epee. I was spending one hour with sabre. Not wanting to continue in mediocrity, I'm going to wait and just focus on epee for now. Eventually, I will pick sabre up again, but not right now.
