15.06.23: Fencing in the heat / outdoors

This week:

We intend to run 2 full length pistes in the gym and the remaining pistes outside on the tennis courts (subject to approval by the school.

It’s going to be extremely warm this evening so please take heed of the following:

• Make sure you bring plenty of water and drink it.

Unfortunately since COVID the school water fountains have been closed so there is no ready supply of drinking water, so bring enough for your needs.

• Take regular breaks from fencing and make sure you remove jackets, plastrons etc as necessary when not fencing to help cool down.

• Do not fence if you feel unwell and if you start feeling unwell during a bout or otherwise, stop any activity immediately.

 

And speaking of fencing outside…

The 2023 Cambridge Open Air Épée competition is on Sunday 2nd July.  This is an excellent competition that a number of SAFC epeeists have attended before.

Much like the SAFC Open Air Event, there is a great atmosphere and we encourage all our epeeists to get involved.

 

See you on the piste… En garde!
