mmcnealyTonight at Open Fencing was my last at this club, after this my gear will be packed or on a truck.
So my friend Annette gave me a nice print of a classic fencing poster from 1900 and brought rice crispy treats, AND made sure that Charlie the head coach knew that it was my last night! This meant that I was parked on a strip the entire night and fenced all commers in Epee. I fenced 11 people from 7-9:15 pm straight through, without breaks. According to www.caloriesperhour.com I just expended 1,121 calories, and boy do I feel like it!
I did get some really good practice in fencing men and was able to try out a couple of new moves so I feel like I am in good shape for Saturday. The 40 minute workouts on the eliptical trainer have really paid off, I was able to keep going long past what I thought I could and still got some good touches in.
Its bedtime for this tired Epee chick, I have the point (and the bruises to prove it!) I gotta get a fencing icon.

If someone has taken pictures of you in the salle you can crop it to the right size. Or you can go to images.google.com and put in fencing or epee and get a picture to turn into an icon.
