It was fun working out with my wife. I'm also enjoying doing only one "heavy" per week. However to improve overall fitness I'd like to get in one run a week, especially since the sun is shining, to help with recovery. I also need to clean up my diet a little and drop the nightly glass of wine or three.

Bout 2 was against a style of fencer I find rather challenging; a constantly retreating, squirmy counter attacker. I kept my head and just dragged it on until they lost patience and then picked up point.

During the third bout I was tired from the first two ( and two much red wine over the previous days). I knew the game I should fence but decided to just mess around. The score reflects this.

Bout3: Impatience was my enemy. My opponent thrives on two actions. I knew how to neutralize these but instead of setting up teh oppertunities I rushed. Doing teh wrong thing faster does not make it right.

Lesson

Really concentrated on defensive play and breaking up attacks. I still need to be more sensitive to distance and concentrate on that slow first step.
