My Weekend


This weekend I went to wack some people in a fencing tournament.  I had a lot of fun fencing my favorite weapon sabre.  After fencing for infinite hours, the ref finally called the gold medal bout.  I was sweating so strenuously, I felt like slurping a huge water bottle.  My final bout was brimming with pressure from both my coaches.  After fencing for a few minutes, I had finally won the first place medal.  Finally I left the funny smelling fencing center with a smile on my face.

My whole weekend was consumed wacking people at the 3 weapon tournament.  The first day was spent fencing fifteen other fencers for the Junior (20 and under) tournament.  The second day was spent fencing beating 20 other fencers up at the Y14 (14 and under) tournament.  It was a lot of fun fencing for the whole weekend.  I had a great time at the San Diego Fencing Center, located in Escondido.  When you fence for a long time such as I, you make friends with a lot of people that you regularly see at tournaments.  It was awesome seeing such friends at this tournament.
