18:45 Fencing

Warmup

Bouts to 15:

1. 15 -10
2. 15 -13
3. 2 -15
4. 1 -15

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.
