For the first time since Shelby started fencing, Darby didn't have practice or a game at the same time. So I finally got to watch Shelby in a fencing bout. Two actually. She won the first with a kid her age and level, but lost the second, with a kid that was bigger and more advanced than her. I made a video of the first bout that I was going to post here, but it's a little bigger than I thought it would be for a two-minute video (35MB), so I'll need to think about that.


UPDATE
Okay, well, I guess we can try the video thing, but download at your own risk until I can get this clipped down some. So, without further delay, here it is.

UPDATED UPDATE
That's Shelby on the right, for those who haven't watched the video yet. I forgot she's wearing her fencing mask and thereby not really recognizable. And yes, she's making a face under that mask, thinking that I can't tell. She's like that.

UPDATED UPDATED UPDATE
The above video has been resampled to be 7MB instead of 35MB.
