I'm lazy....I know.

Ok ok I know......I haven't recapped my weekend, nor have I talked about the up and coming one, but I'll consider myself scolded. (Only by me, since no one seems to care if I blog or not.)

Last weekend: Atlanta. Got my butt kicked in epee, as usual. I'm consistantly inconsistant. I had some super nice touches in my pool though. I was happy about that. In the saber I dropped a couple of bouts in my pool that I shouldn't have, but I just couldn't get my head out of epee mode! It was really weird, fencing two different weapons in one day. I just kept counter attacking. Ugh. Anyway, I was seeded 7th (out of ten!) going into DE's. Had to fence the #10 seed first. She was a super nice girl, and felt kinda bad for beating her as badly as I did. After that, it was on to the #2 seed. The had already beaten me 5-1 in the pool, but I was determined to at least hold my own in the DE bout. I ended up beating him 15-12! Yay! I think that's one of 2 bouts in my entire fencing history that I won when technically I wasn't supposed to. It was pretty exciting. After that, i had to fence a big and scary epee fencer guy. Although I gave that guy a run for his money, I lost 15-12. His distance and timing were unbelievably good, so I now know what I need to work more on. He ended up winning the tournament, and I tied for third with one of my teammates. It was a nice weekend. There are always some really great people in Atlanta.

This weekend, I have VA Tech, which judging by the pre registration list, might be quite a large tournament. Should be fun. I'm fencing saber on Saturday, and epee on Sunday.

Next weekend, my club is having an E & under tournament, so I'll actually be trying my hand at foil! If I score a few point throughout the day, I'll consider it victorious. :)
