2019 Exercise/Race Plans???
He's bummed about the Half. He's glad he did it when he did. (He's ex-Navy). He's running MCM through Team in Training, which raises money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. He says come to Philly for the Rock and Roll Half here that weekend in September!

That at least gets me fencing through my next big nationals tournament in April - I really want to do at least 2 events a month going forward.
May isn't clear. June will be prep for Summer Nationals in Columbus which runs from the last Saturday in June through the First Saturday in July. August is my month off. September starts the new season.
If I earn my foil rating this year, I will also take up sabre.
Keep on losing!

In Olympic fencing, there are three weapons - foil, sabre and epee. Foil and saber are "right of way" weapons - meaning you have to establish the right of attack before being awarded a point. In Epee, both fencers can score at the same time.
Foil is the lightest of the three weapons, weighing about 12 ounces and being about 40 inches long from end to end. Weight varies based upon type of grip you use. In foil, you may only score a point (a touch - e.g. touche) with the very tip of the weapon. It must depress to close an electrical circuit and cause a light on the scoring equipment. Target area is from neck to crotch - front and back - only. No arms, no head.
Sabre - weighs more, is slightly shorter and the entire weapon can be used to close the electrical circuit to score a point. Scoring area is head, arms, torso (front and back) to waist.
Epee - you must use the tip to score (like foil) but the entire body from head to toe is valid target.
