Today was Izzy's first fencing tournament experience. There were definitely some nerves present for everyone as this is foreign territory for all of us. Izzy's foil coach, JD, was there and such a support for her. She won one of her five rounds and scored in three of the others (0-5, 1-5, 1-5, 3-5 and 5-3). The second half was the elimination round. Though she scored, she did not win and thus was eliminated in the first round. I was so proud of her as this was challenging on several levels including speed of the game, different techniques used at other fencing clubs and improving her mental game.
