Olympic Fencing camp... It hurts. A LOT.

Hey all, sorry to not post in awhile. We've been super busy and I keep forgetting to upload. No pictures this time, but I thought I'd just explain what's going on.

This week is our last week here, and I'm spending it at the best fencing club we could find: an Olympic German Fencing Center.

Brief overview, I'm staying in an apartment dorm thing with a German Saber fencer named Rosa. (That's cause we decided it'd be better if we kicked her brother out go the week XD he's downstairs)
The Fencers Village(series of apartment buildings just for fencers, their families, and their coaches)
And it just so happens to be located at pretty much the highest point in town... So if we forget something at home, we have to walk uphill in full sun for 30 minutes one way... X.X and guess what? We forgot our swimsuits, so we had to walk back...twice...because
SE the first time we forgot the key hehe... That, along with a fencing lesson, intense game of South African almost-Rugbie-style soccer, and two sessions of footwork/training = me passed out on the couch for an hour after dinner. Yep...and to think that Coach Uli wanted me to fence the high schoolers and Sam after dinner! Nope...just-nope.

Man I'm beat, so that was my rant for today.

Goodnight!
