bright young things

Yesterday I fenced a women's unrated tournament. I finished 4th of 9 (!), but I had to beat up a bunch of little girls to get there.

( Perhaps I should clarify :P )

This was a real test of my endurance (both mental and physical) and I was literally shaking and dizzy by the time I finished. I'm not aching horribly today but I have blisters where usually I have none and my back is about to register a complaint :P

It was a good day :)

D. and I are SO there opening night :P
