Well it's over.. nine days in a row, three tournaments and 18 NZ and Oceanic Zone titles decided, not counting the Oceanic teams events.

First time running a big tournament like this so I decided to do the triple as a way to ease in.
It went well. Yay!
Sweet f.a sleep including an early start today, the start of Daylight Savings. Boo!

Senior Nationals in 3 weeks. Thankfully I'm not running it but I am competing in it.
Hoping for a top 8 but we'll see.
These tournaments have definitely impacted on my preparation for Nationals (what preparation??) but on the plus side, I'm a bit more focused on what I need to work on after spending time watching what some of my competition is doing at the moment.
Bit scared but I think I'm looking forward to it. I must remember this is still only my first year back and I cannot expect to do well straight off the bat. I need to set some goals to achieve for my actual fencing in the tournament rather than hanging my expectations on a placing.

I have new shiny gear.. lots of foils, new lame, new bodywires.
I have a much depleted bank account.
I'm off to bed.
I'm tired.
