Thanks, guys. I tried to do it again today but the competition was just too good and épée was never my best weapon. I only made it to the semi-finals where I had to face first the coach for the Hungarian National team then a Japanese guy who was a two-time Asian Games épée champion. They were both so much better than me I felt like a complete beginner! Then I faced a 40yr old Chinese fellow who used me for target practice.... Humbling ... but fun! This entire tournament was a wonderful experience for me. I made a lot of new friends from all over the world and had a great time doing it! Now I'm sitting in the hotel's bar having a glass of Bombay Sapphire before going to bed. I'll fly home tomorrow morning.
