Long couple days so far, another tomorrow. We both were kinda weak yesterday although I did score 4 times in 30 seconds to force an OT which I then messed up.

Today our kid just missed the round of 16 out of 90 fencers. I think she'll finish at 17 or so. She lost priority (coin flip) and her final de to a screamer in over-time. The kid did ask the director to explain one of the three blown calls (says the Dad) which is a big step for her as she usually just grouses about this stuff later. We were disappointed to see her opponent sitting chatting with the directors after the bout. Over-all though, it was a excellent day of fencing where she was controlling distance and generally being aggressive and the directing was mostly quite good.
