Edinburgh

About a month ago, a couple of friends of mine decided to jump the pond, visit a heilan coo, and fence in a satellite World Cup. The fencing was mediocre on our parts – we both dropped out in the 32 even though we were perfectly capable of making the 4. Err… we’ll blame it on jet lag! Yeah, that’s it! Edinburgh, however, was absolutely gorgeous. I’m pretty sure that the 4 days of sunny weather they have each year all came together just to make us a little sad to leave.

Anyway, I may get to posting some other pictures later, as well as more on the trip.

Until then…

What is this for?

So, here I am, months after I set this blog up, just to find it hasn’t gone and created its own life.  I guess I’ll try to start writing to it.  Was in Columbus this past weekend for a competition.  “Less than exceptional” would be putting it nicely.  It’s been a while since I went 1 & 5 in a pool (albeit with a -7 indicator).

I guess the good news is that I seem to have learned how to keep relaxed, meaning I never let myself get rattled when I was down.  Now all I have to do is learn to control my excitement so I have the gumption to actually exert energy to try and score a touch.

The next competition I’m likely to be in is the Mercury Cup in February… maybe I’ll actually make another post before then.
