Back in Black... er, make that White

Yes, for the first time in frikken years I participated a fencing competition.

On Sunday I went in the WA Open Epee and Open Sabre #2 at Belmont City College. What a laugh. Epee? Was I insane!?!?!

To say I was thrashed was an understatement. I had a good time, but I definitely don't have the patience to do that weapon. I finished 13th out of 13 - that's 100%!!!

At noon it was time to fire up for the sabre. I won one pool and came very close to winning a direct elimination, but alas lost 14-15 to the girl that eventually came second. I made her shit her pants though... an outsider having a crack and actually doing alright!

No trophy this time around, but the results are here:
