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.

Fenced poorly. I arrived distracted and remained distracted. I was thinking about doing specific things rather than just fencing. Classic choking in this case caused by implicit competition. in this case king of the hill. Time to start focusing on mental training, something I have ignored for years.

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.

Rehab AT: heel drop 3x15x8.

I didn't put my insoles in and I noticed some Achilles pain in the first bout. The little heel raise makes a big difference. It was another incredibly humid night and I was sapped by the end of the second bout. I'm not sure if it's the heat or I'm getting over as bug.

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.

Stretch hamstrings and calves.
MobilityWOD Ep 309: Low lunge with band, front splits with band.
Achilles rehab.

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.
