Run x Fence = ?

The run this afternoon wasn't stellar...perhaps it was the pint of Ben and Jerry's I had after lunch. But it wasn't that bad either. Its just that my feet and lower legs are still fatiguing quickly. I'll be glad when there are back in shape and I can start concentrating on times. I did pretty well, my time was the same as two days ago, including the two times I had to stop and retie my shoes. The last stretch, in which I do a sprint, felt really good. I think I'm ready to start intervals again. Coach Wendy's back in town, so I'm planning on joining the Greenlake running crowd on Wednesday.

Went back to fencing tonight for the first time in over a month, maybe even two months. YIKES! It actually went really well though. I fenced 5 other fencers and held my own pretty well...even got 8 touches on a b level epeeist. My plan is to continue open fencing with a lesson once a week. Once the Olympics are over I'll start going full tilt on the fencing with two or more lessons a week as the plan is that I will try my first pentathlon in the spring.

This is also the first time I've done two events in a day. We'll see how my legs feel...a run followed by a heavy fencing day should leave them pretty wobbly.
