15 03 2007We had the Club junior foil today, in which I went out immediately, losing 7-10 to Haruka. Oh well. As was firmly predictable with the absence of Guy Emerson (was doing Maths Challenge) and Theo Chester (?), who’d no doubt have filled the podium with him, Oliver (Jones) won, despite conceding several points to other Ollie who has taken Mathieu’s slidelunging advice to heart and developed a new form of distance foil which took his first two oppenents apart - interesting to watch!
So it was alright, I guess. I was very bad.

It really was very flukey. But a good exercise “to improve my footworks.”
Ah yes - why did Ian never teach us any “footworks” ?
lol
Before he even KNEW I was going to fail (i.e. during my lesson), Mathieu said to me: “Don’t worry that you are fail - it is not your weapon, eh? Happy up!” or something.
I WASN’T EVEN UPSET UNTIL THEN.
…lol
