Aim for the path

Went to fencing for the first time in a month. I was a little rusty at first and my feet and wrist got tired pretty quickly, but I was surprised at how quickly my hand work came back. Because I tired quickly, I had to stay relaxed and use the "aim for the path, not the target" philosphy. I got many touches this way...with almost no effort at all. Fenced Anna, George and Greg. I also went up against a new fencer, Cash, who I had not seen at the club before, but since he had his name on his uniform, had obviousely fenced at high levels in the past. He had a very different style, was much quicker, longer and energetic than people I've fenced prior. I did get several touches though, so I was pleased. Not too bad for a month off.
