Fencing resumes

After 1 month of break, fencing training finally started this week on Tuesday. Training started off training with a slow jog around the track for warm up. It was really a SLOW jog as everyone was quite unfit after a long break, and some of them were complaining that a 10 minute jog was too long. Luckily I started training (for IPPT) a couple of weeks back and so it was quite relaxed for me. The rest of Tuesday was spent doing some basic footwork and free fencing so that everyone could refresh their memory.

Coach came down on Thursday's training and there was only 1 word to describe it: SHAG! Apparently he did not realise that we have not been training for the past month and drilled us quite a lot. My poor legs and arms, they were totally aching after training, such that I had a minor cramp halfway when I was driving home, luckily it recovered quite fast and I did not get into an accident.

After such a long break, I realised my fencing has gone down the drain, forgot all my moves and did silly stuff while fencing .. haha. Hopefully I don't get scolded by coach on Saturday when he trains one-to-one with me. I really need to work doubly hard and train up to a reasonable standard. Next competition is in June which means I have less than one month (minus all the trainings I will miss due to work).

Well I guess I have no choice but to work doubly hard. I need to OWN everyone else .. haha!
