First epee lesson

Went to the Wallingford Club to do some footwork and take my first lesson ("pyerviy urok" in Russian) with Garik. We started with the usual game of basketball and then some agility games. I'm still a little sick so I was huffing and puffing pretty hard by the end of this. Greg let me borrow his epee again, so I was able to do the weapon work with an epee. The urok with Garik went well. I need to work on a wider stance with my feet for better balance in epee and keep my position 6 arm extended more for better defense in epee. Epee is such a different feel and strategy than foil...I have a long way to go. Still kind of sore from the half moon yoga pose on Tuesday too (don't know why, the position should have affected my legs more...but you know how yoga is crazy sometimes), so had a tough time keeping my shoulders and arms relaxed.
