Some fencing observations

A good warm up with lots of mobility work makes a huge difference.

Focus on time to touch. Longer setups before each touch.

In epee retreating with an extended arm is a good fallback plan.

Bout 5/5

First bout was loosing in first bout chasing a taller fencer.  Pulled him to my end of piste, used counter attack and attack in prep and false attack to take over.
Third bout 14-8 up but ran out of energy and felt ill, but dug deep and dragged out a victory.
Final two bout focused on limited movement, used half retreat plus extended arm to create simple opportunities

All done. Finished today in 9 minutes, 41 seconds. Overall feel good. Some mild tennis elbow, but fencing is probably as much of a contributor as the swings. My swing form feels good and I'm learning to relax my grip at the top while keeping everything else tight. My press ups feel a lot easier and more explosive. I'm going to do a few weeks of easy weights and then go back to a variation of this routine.
