Fencing

Visiting Fencer's Club

Warmup

Bouts

1. B. 15-10
2. A. 15-13
3. C. 15-10
4. A. 4-5
5. C. 15-8
6. B. 9-10

Felt very strange for the first few bouts, thought I was going to puke but managed to hold it together. Good to catch up with a friend for a few final battles.

Scored one touch with a nice trap. I opened up my 6 with a very aggressive advance. It was the advance that sold it.
Made nice use of the line to set up a riposte but technical execution was perfect so failed to score with it.

Stretch: Wall splits.
