confidence and paranoia

[anotheranon]

First day back at club in 2 weeks.

I know that's a short amount of time away, but I am usually unreasonably nervous that all my fencing-fu will fall out of my head if I take too much time away from it.

I actually fenced rather well (I can beat attack! Who knew?) but I suspect too hard - I think I spent all my energy in the first hour.

I'll be aching tomorrow, but it will be a GOOD ache. And if it's not, I'm sure I'll go numb in the walk from my car to the office :P

Sounds like you've discovered something that top athletes (by which I mean the ones that work at it instead of relying on chemical enhancements) have been saying for years ... a couple of weeks vacation from training actually enhances performance. :-)
