Focused on maintaining my footwork and distance rather than matching opponents.
Hand more relaxed on parry, accelerate riposte to feel for counter.
Noticed I fleche when tired.

I'm been rather remiss at recoding my workouts. Injuries and holidays and both interfered with any regular routine.
Hopefully I'm on the mend and that is about to change so starting today I'll punch the clock. I'm going to start with three rounds today and progress to the full 5 over the coming week. I'll start with a 20KG kettlebell. I aim to focus my stretching on my quads as they are excessively tight and potentially contributing to my hamstring injuries.

Strapped my hamstring and while it was tired afterwards was not re-injured. I avoided fleches and my action were conservative.

Felt a bit exhausted, which turned out to be something nasty. Out of action for a few days.
