Fencer 5. liked to let me parry and leave hi arm out for a remise. Most of the time I got the reposte but occasionally he long armed me. I tried something I hadn't done in years envelopment and transports. Worked a treat, but you need and extended arm and weak arm so not something to try against a better fencer.
Bout 1. was a slow start for me. I arrived late so my warmup was a little rushed and it took me a while to get my head in the game. Bout I was holding scores steady when I focused on the setup but I started to rush and focus on the final action which left me open. Bout 7 I just needed a little bit more confidence at the end and more patience in the middle but generally fenced well.

I was very focused on the process of fencing rather than the outcome. In each bout I worked on the setup and let the final action take care of itself. I also made use of if-then approach to my mental game and felt it paid dividends.
Over the coming weeks I plan to do a lot of reading on piratical sports psychology. A couple of books are in the post and should make excellent holiday reading.

I noticed that the main cause of my achilles tendon pain seems to be my dropped arch. As I was doing the heel drops my arch was collapsing at the end. I'm going to restart from BW focusing on a strong arch.

In all the bouts I used good use of false counter attacks to set up a counter attacks. I also really worked on controlling distance and in those case I got the point often with an attack in prep.
In the first and last bout and in certain periods of the other I lost control of the distance either though tiredness or lack of concentration or a mix of both. That when I got punished.
I need to work on more footwork and more bouts to improve my fencing specific fitness so I can keep operating at the more demanding level.

In the earlier bouts I made good use of false counter attack, counter attack. My infighting was good. I struggled to get a good attack together.

And that's it folk. 40 workouts in a row. Today was a bit anticlimactic, I really didn't have much get up and go. Overall though I'm very please.
I can press the 24 for triples, do pullups with the same weight and snatch the 20 easily. My pistols improved but it's a difficult exercise to load progressively. I consider the ab work a major success and I feel much stronger their. Mobility remained good and I kept the old injuries under control. Rehabbing my achilles tendon will now be a major focus. I'm taking the remainder of the week off from kettlebells.
