Jan ŽegklitzMalam hebdomadis fīnem dīmicātiōnis Londīniī habuī. Certāvī in London HEMA Open certātiōne in trēs categoriīs (in hōc ordine): acīnacēs, dolō cum pugiōne et ēnsis longus.<br>
<br>
In acīnace, bis vīcī ac bis victus sum in circulō, cōnficiēns trīcēsimus ante ēlīminātiōnem, quō (meritō) victus sum in gradū prīmō.<br>
<br>
In dolō cum pugiōne paulum melius pugnāvī - ter vīcī et bis victus sum, cōnficiēns vīcēssimus secundus. Tamen, quia (nimis?) sēro fuit, administrātōrēs sēdecim tantum proeliātōrēs (ā quīnquāgintā octō) in ēlīminātiōnem prōgressī esse statuērūnt. Hm 😕<br>
<br>
In ēnse longō plānē stultus fuī. In circulō omnia certāmina vīcī, octus post circulōs fuī, sed, ut proximō annō, victus sum in gradū prīmō ēlīminātiōne 🤦♂️ Cūr...<br>

I had a bad fencing weekend in London. I competed in the London HEMA Open tournament in three categories (in this order): saber, rapier and dagger, and longsword.<br>
<br>
In saber I won two and lost two fights in the pool, ending up 30th before elimination, where I lost (deservedly) in the first round.<br>
<br>
In rapier and dagger I fought a bit better - I won three times, and lost two times, ending up 22nd. However, because it was (too?) late, the organisers decided to let only 16 fighters (out of 58) into the elimination. Hm 😕<br>
<br>
In longword I was just simply stupid. In the pool I won all bouts, but, like last year, I lost in the first round of elimination 🤦♂️ Why...<br>
