Fenced at Yet Another Fencing Club last night.
Short version: brand new clean club, same fencers as the Other Fencing Club, so just as challenging as last week. Learned a bladework drill which reveals how Other Fencing Club (OFC) members are truly fast like freaks. The coach at YAFC was offering free promotional mini lessons, so I had one - I need to loosen up my shoulder in order to extend my lunge, because putting too much muscle into this particular activity means I'm working too hard.
And I did work HARD - I was there 2 1/2 hours. Note to
zen4me and
skill_grl: y'all were right,
water does matter. I was able to go longer last night because I religiously took water breaks, downing about a liter and change during the course of the evening.
However, I must have burned unusually hard, because today I've really been hungry. This evening after dinner I sat down to sew/catch up on emails, and 9:30 rolls around and I'm ready to eat a whole cow! I can't of course, as I'll be up all night, but this means I'm burning calories, right?
