Bout 4 I started counterattacking into slow attacks believing I had the timing. I needed to work more on breaking up the attack with fake CA or line and then looking for opportunities.

Bout 5 the OP like to set up a CA with esquive either on my long attacks or when Opp did a setup attacks and closed me out as I took over. Once I removed the opportunity to do that I could score with good attacks and AIP.

I had real trouble finishing bout. In most of the close bout I reached 4 first, in one case was 4-0 up. I think I became hesitant and changed to a more defensive game plan, letting my opponent come back. Lesson learned, if something works don't change it. Each touch is the same be it the first or the last.

Fencing Competition

08:00 Fencing

On Thursday I came down with a 24 hour stomach bug. Thankfully recovered in time.

Travelled to the competition the day before and got a good night's sleep.

Arrived at venue early and got a good warmup and felt ready to go.

First poule bout got red carded for two failed weapons. Threw the first bout. Second was against the eventual poule winner. Dropped two more bouts I should have won. Finished 2 and 4 where it should have been at least 5 and 1.

Fenced well in DE but lost 11-15. Need to work on a more consistent mental game.

I can no longer get to the gym on a Saturday so I'm looking at two option.

1. Train two consecutive day. This is what I tried today.
2. Train at home on Saturday with body weight and kettlebells.

Option 1 wasn't perfect. My lower back was tired from yesterday's session and overall I din't feel 100% recovered. I'll try it once more and if not I'll look at option 2.

Was having some issues with my left knee. It's an old injury that the run on Monday seems to have aggravated.
Ran out of steam in my second bout. My rather snug lame may be a contributing factor.
Bout 3 I was very happy with. I analysed the fencers style and worked to remove the prerequsites. The fencer is a leftie who like to finish with a flick to the shoulder. He also like a fast paced bout. He has a big prep and needs distance to set up an actions.

I kept distance close, just outside lunge distance.
I kept a raised guard that removed his favourite target.
I slowed the pace down.

Worked very well, as he adapted I made small changes to the plan, mixing in the line with CA and AIP. I lost a few early touches because I hadn't adjusted the distance and wasn't threatening enough with fake CAs.. Most importantly I realsed what teh issue was and altered my plan rather than discarding it.
