Yesterday was competition day! Finally😅 I was super nervous but also very excited. This was my first time competing at the Dutch championships so I didn't know what to expect. But the pole community is full of amazing people who really support each other. I had a good time backstage and with the people who came to support me ❤️. I'm really blessed with such amazing people around me.

My routine went super well and I am very happy with my performance. So funny how I'm so nervous before but I forget everything when I perform and I just enjoy every moment. The routine was very clean, and the score really surprised me! It even got me first place in my category!🥇

Now I'm really tired from a long day and so much training. Right now I'll take some rest before I get back into training again. Photos and videos will follow soon!

Coming to the Close

The work day is almost over. About 10 minutes from now there will be another Monday in the books. Also, I will be 50% of the way through my 40% in the office mandate for this week. That’s nice. It’s also probably confusing if you don’t know what I am talking about but I do know what I am talking about so it is not confusing to me which is why I wrote this epic run on sentence about it.

Here is a picture of a cat that I took this morning before I left for work. She was confused and upset because I made the bed and messed up her hiding/napping spot/plans. Sorry, cat.

What else can I write about before the work day ends? A Red Sox win tonight and a Yankees loss will move the Red Sox into first place in the AL East. Yes it is only the 11th game of the season, but after the last few years of baseball futility combined with the Bruins suck fest of late, I will take a first place moment with a smile on my face. The Yankees and Tigers are playing right now. In the bottom of the eighth inning in Detroit, the Tiggers are up 6-2. Thanks, Detroit.

What else… I haven’t worked on anything musical since the RPM Challenge wrapped up at the end of February. I am a failure at musical life. Just saying.

Okay, I got distracted by something at work and now the 10 minutes have passed and it’s quitting time. Wish me luck on my evening commute home. Jen picked up something nice for dinner tonight. We have dinner together whenever humanly possible and I always love it. I love her, I can’t help it. The heart wants what the heart wants and my heart wants silly little domestic time with the woman of my dreams. There’s nothing wrong with that at all. Civilization coming to a crashing, idiotic, tariffed end doesn’t change the way I feel.

Nūndiō tertiō herīque HEMA tropaeno Berolīnō (Berlin HEMA Cup) interfuī. Hīc diem secundum, quandō ēnse longō pugnāvī, dēscrībō. Haec certātiō formulā īnsolitā ūsa est, quā cōnsequentiae certāminum in circulīs gravēs nōn erant, sed eae singulōrum impetuum erant. Tamen, post circulōs sextus fuī et facilē in ēlīminātiōnem progressus sum. In ēlīminātiōne mē satis bene pugnāre dīcam, quia nōn victus sum et prīmus 🥇 fīnīvī, ursam auream capiēns! Multās grātiās agō īnsulae Cechiae-Slovaciae prō peparātiōne ad hanc certātiōnem "postplāgae".

Yesterday and the day before I took part in the Berlin HEMA Cup. Here I describe the second day when I fought with the longsword. This tournament used an unusual system where the results of the bouts were not important, but those of the indiviudal exchanges were. Nevertheless, I was sixth after the pools, and easily advanced into the elimination. In the elimination, I fought quite well, I would say, because I have not been defeated, and finished the first 🥇, claiming the gold bear! I thank a lot to the Czech-Slovak island for preparation for this afterblow tournament.

Open du Port de la Lune, diēs prīmus - ēnsis longus. Hodiē interfuī in certātiōne in Burdigalā in Francogalliā, ordīnāta ā Batesta Bordeaux. In circulō valdē bene ēgī, ūnum punctum sōlum contrā mē accipiēns et omnēs quattuor certāmina vīcēns. Ēlīminātiō autem (XVI proeliatōrēs ex XXXIV in summā progressī sunt) valdē difficilior erat. Omnia certāmina angustissimē fīnīverant et in quibusquam vincī potuerim, sed hoc nōn ēvēnit, tōtam certātiōnem vīcēns nummumque aureum 🥇 sūmēns. Multō ob hanc rem beātus sum et diem secundum quandō certātiōnēs acīnacis et galdiī brevis cum parmā erint prōspiciō. Modo spērāre possum ut similiter fēlīx sim.

Open du Port de la Lune, day one - longsword. Today I took part in a tournament in Bordeaux, France, organised by Batesta Bordeaux. In the pool I performed very well, having only a single point scored against me, winning all four bouts. However, the elimination (which 16 fencers of 34 in total advanced to) was much more difficult. All the bouts were super close, and I could have lost in each one of it, but that did not happen, and I won the whole tournament and claimed the gold medal 🥇. I am very happy about it, and I look forward to the second day when there will be saber and sword & buckler tournaments. I can only hope to be similarly lucky.

Sāturnī diē interfuī in certātiōne Dragoon Sabre ā @psa_hema_cz. Etiam nunc nōn crēdō quod vērō accidit. In circulō vīcī omnia certāmina praeter ūnum et octāvus fuī post circulōs ex trīgintā trēs proeliatōrēs. Deinde vīcēbam omnia certāmina ūsque ad ultimam, omniam certātiōnem vīcēns.

Cum acīnace nōn exerceō praeter pugnandum in porticū (putō mē grātiās contubernālibus pugnandīs meīs agere dēbēre), nōn vīcissem, sed tamen vīcī, nesciō quōmodo, et multō ob hanc rem gaudeō.

Illa certātiō jūrem impetūs ūsa est. Id mē etiam nunc nōn multō dēlectat 😐. I'd mihi nimis artificiōsē vidētur.

On Saturday I participated in the tournament Dragoon Sabre by @psa_hema_cz. I still don't believe what actually happened. In the group I won all bouts except for one, and after the groups I was 8th of 33 fighters. Then I was winning all the bouts up to the last one, winning the whole tournament.

I do not train with sabre except for sparring in gallery (I think I owe my partners thanks), I shouldn't have won, but I have nevertheless, and I'm very happy about that.

The tournament used the right of way. I still don't like it very much 😐. It seems too artificial to me.
