Was about to post that had been sucktacular at the Leicester Open this week, only it turns out that 5 of the 7 people in my pool are in the top 100 in the country. It doesn't excuse my dreadful performance, I got nil-ed four times (1 of those I was happy enough with, it took her a few minutes to do that to me), but it makes me feel a bit better.

My timing and distance were horribly out so that was why I kept getting hit.

There were also way too many people, there was 83 male foilists, 32 women and all the associated people (parents, coaches, boy/girlfriends) and then the men's sabre lot arrived, which was an extra 20 people. So that was about 200 people, plus kit which takes up a heck of a lot of space all in one sports hall. I trust you can imagine the chaos.

I'm not entirely sure yet where I finished, I was 30 out of 32 at the end of the pool stages but depending on DE results that could change and then someone got a black card for not turning up for her DE after being called 6 times so I might have moved up one or down one. But it'll be around 30th.

Sunday I went fencing, enjoyed myself even though I aggravated the tendonitis a little using french grips for epee and steam foil. Sadly we have no pistol grip steam foils and someone else had snaffled the pistol epee. I also gave away the stupidest point ever to Dave, about which I shall not hear the end of unless I drink him under the table at the pirates bar-crawl on Tuesday.

Upon which tip I shall leave you with the bus pirates which is lots of fun - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJe0-NHqXk8
