Prise de Fer is having some great little fencing tournaments this summer. Yesterday I went to the Canadian Elite Open, where there are two sets of pools. The first pool sets the initial DEs and the winners of those DE bouts go back and do a single pool against each-other to get the best of four.
If we haven’t had our baby by August 12, I think I’ll go to the C and under. August 18 is a one-touch epee round robin - real duel fencing!
As far as my performance yesterday, it wasn’t great. I need to play a much more patient game and improve my counter-attack style fencing to do more arm touches. I also need to get better at the change-up footwork. It seemed that whenever I feinted the attack, corrected my feet, and attacked, I got the touch.
I think this is the first reference in your blog to our impending family expansion. No comments?!

Whoops. I think I need to play that one up a bit. I know it was disguised by the “fencing” category. I think I’ll need to start up a baby category. YAY, we are having a baby and soon!!! Details to follow…
