Woah. I have not pushed my body this far in a long time. You see, I had fencing today. And I really felt it. I gave it my all in an official 15-point match and won. It was a nice feeling, if not for my aches and exhaustion. As soon as I scored my final point, I had to take off all my gear and run to the radio station for my show. I was a sweaty, sore mess.  And have been go go go go go since then. 

Let me speak on my opponent for a moment. He is a great guy, and my first friend in the fencing club.  And he is good. He actively watches videos and spends time outside of the club to improve. He is going to a tournament this very weekend. Needless to say, I was intimidated. But I got in there, and I really gave it my all. Fencing is such an interesting sport. It takes way more out of you than you might think, both physically and mentally. It's a game of endurance, quick reflexes, and a keen eye. Sometimes I have those treats, and sometimes I don't. And boy did I have it tonight.

I will tell you one thing, I will be sleeping well tonight.

 Goodnight, guys,
