Had my first lesson with the new ruskie coach last night...bit bizarre...strange distance, hand up or hand down, no hand straight, stand up instead of sitting lower...other than that, the principles seem pretty sound...more importantly, not very tiring thanks to the absence of long lunges, but I'm sure that will come eventually... But all the damn free fencing he's getting us to do is shooting my legs to hell and back. Both limbs feel like throbbing masses of pulp at the moment and I'm hobbling around like some kind of cripple. Luckily I have tonight off...otherwise I might be in serious difficulty. As it is, when I tried to beg off training tomorrow night, he feigned ignorance of the word "tired" and said that I had to have a lesson every session. And so the good times roll on. I'm slowly settling into celibacy...Ok ok it's only been a week but it's a good start I reckon. Who cares what Azrin thinks ! His rather rude response to my proposed plan to find equilibrium and clarity brought back memories of NS-style exhortations. But funny nonetheless. So things roll on. Met up with the adidas folks finally and will be putting up a list of products that will be offered on discount to FS members...hopefully this will lead to a closer relationship with them and better sponsorship deals for all concerned. A quiet day at work, and I'm off for Saatchi drinks and the Rolls-Royce dinner and then more drinks with the past. Adios. |
