week by week
This past week was certainly a long one in terms of training. There is nothing like throwing yourself back into the swing of things. Well-it's a little more planned out than that but it definitely feels like my break during July is a distant memory.
Over the weekend the women's foil team got together with some other fencers for a training camp. It was a great three days and I think we accomplished a lot in getting ready for the Zonal Championships that are coming up. We are leaving for Mont-Tremblanc a week from tomorrow. For those of you that have never heard of Mont-Tremblanc, I believe it's a mountain resort town about two hours from Montreal.
My parents and I have been discussing having them come to the tournament to watch since it's only about seven hours away from Rochester. This is definitely a development especially because my parents never really come to fencing tournaments. I think the last time they saw me fence was in Sydney seven years ago. My how the time goes. It's not that my parents aren't supportive but but they think this is more my thing and they don't really know much about fencing anyways.
I'm still thinking about them going. I don't think it will really affect me mentally but it would be nice to have them around for support. It's always nice to turn around and see your parents standing behind you and cheering.
As for this week we still have lots of practices to go before we leave for Canada. My two US teammates Hanna and Doris are here for the week (Hanna actually came back to Rochester to train) and we should have some good practices.
Viva la vida fencing.
