I did exactly as well here as in Richmond. 3-3 in pools, seeded 100th, won my first DE, had to fence way up the bracket and got beat. Out in the 128 again.

I really have to concentrate on doing well in pools, and that will have to start from the very beginning of the first bout. That will have to be a point of emphasis at Div 1 Nationals in Portland, too.

That having been said, I did exactly what I wanted to in the first DE, against Josh Silver from NWFC. I also fenced pretty well against Ben Wieder in the 128, but lost 15-10.

If I'd been fencing that well in the morning, I would have been more like 5-1 in my pool instead of 3-3. Grrr.
