fencing-0214

There was awhile that Brian and I were into ... fencing! It was something we both really loved to do. We stopped around the time we got married, simply due to lack of time. But we do miss it. There are three types of swords in fencing - foil, épée and sabre -- each with their own set of rules. Brian had fenced foil before, but when we picked the sport up together, we both trained with an épée. We even participated in a few competitions. The one with me photographed above was in Wisconsin in 1997. I remember doing really well in this tournament -- even winning a metal. Good stuff.
