Warmup

King of the hill exercise.

Fenced 10 bouts, 2 minutes running clock.

Bouts

1. B. 14-15
2. B. 11-15

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.

IT took me the first bout and a half to settle into my fencing. My mental game was off and I too focused on specific things rather the general flow.

Lesson

Stretch and rehab.

Neck and back are feeling 95% better. Lots of equipment issues. I only realized after the end of the first bout that my foil had no tip. Note to self, test after every hit.
