Dammit Miles....

[ID: two photos. The first is of two sabre fencers lunging at each other - the fencer on the left is bending his sabre on his opponent’s chest. The second photo is over the fencer holding his sabre, with the blade badly bent.]

Bent blades are the worst, haha. Alberto Pellegrini (left, and second photo) against Alin Badea, during the 2015 European Games team sabre finals!

But look at my blade it must be my attack...

Day four...? What day is it?

So it is day 4 of the circus. The easy days are over. The bad lunches have started. The coaches are getting fussy. The officials are getting cranky. And Chuckles has arrived....

[sleepychuckles]

Oh you want to avoid the line by checking stuff early? Lolz

[sleepychuckles]

Day three

So there goes the easy days.

[sleepychuckles]

So you really know its getting close when you walk down the aisle and its like "hi coach" "hi fencer" "hi FOC"....

Be a pro at the airport

Sort your cords cables electronics etc. Be ready to pop off your shoes. Have that carry on liquids bag at easy access points. And for Pete's sake make sure you take the multi tool and shims OUT of your carry on or you'll get bounced out of security.

Meanwhile on Facebook...

All the referees, athletes, armorers, coaches, organizers and more are posting XYZ - PDQ - CMH. To be followed by "gah lines/delays/lost luggage/wtf" updates

[sleepychuckles]

What to do the night before you head to nationals???
