Fencing Competition in Schull

As I have mentioned one of my blog posts before, I started a new hobby over here: Fencing.

I haven't regret that even a moment and I actually really do like it. Last Saturday 9.11. there was a novice competition at Schull (City of Cork) that was for people who had max. 2 years experience of fencing, total 68 people participated. Well, I had only about two months but so what, I still decided to participate because of the experience. I think last time I have attended sport competition it has been while I was in at primary school maybe 5th grade (cross country skiing or running) so it was also about the time to encourage myself and compete again :D

The competition went actually quite well and I did achieve the goals I had put for myself:
1) Be average in pools
Pool includes group of people where everyone fight one match against everyone and then based on result ranking list is made). In my pool I had 5 matches and for those I won two and lost three ended up ranking list at position 41/68 
2) Win a one death match.
After the pools comes death matches that is a bit longer but if you lose it, you're out of the game. Death match pairs are made based on the ranking list (best ones against worse ones etc.). I won my first DA against the guy who was 27th on ranking list and then lost my second match 9-15 against the guy who was 8th on ranking list...

My overall ranking on those competition was 30/68 so I was happy with that one and now I know that for next one I need to be better than that, just need to practice, practice & practice...
