Today looks WAY too nice out to hide in the parking deck, so we're practicing tonight at the Dells.

I'm sore from Tuesday's practice in Richmond (which was GREAT, by the way, you should come some time) so if I armor up I'll be fighting polearm.

Another good reason to be at the Dells tonight: much better exposure to the student population on an evening with good weather.

Please let me know if you can make it, if you're anything like a regular. Also, who is around next week during spring break/Gulf Wars? Perhaps we should cancel practice then.

Bad weather and cold days means the ground at the Dells is going to be a mess today. So even though the skies are clear and the temps are cooperating, we're going to practice at the lower level of the Scott Stadium Parking Garage.

There's one new guy coming out tonight who hasn't fought in many years, but has some previous experience.

I'm nursing a few minor strains that I don't want to become major ones, so won't be armoring, but I will be instructing and taking pictures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Since we got some pretty heavy rain this morning, footing at the Dells will be a mess.

Somehow, this afternoon I seem to have tweaked my left knee. Very odd, since I didn't DO anything to it. It just started aching and being a bit stiff.

So, unless I wake up with it magically feeling better tomorrow, no Ice Castle tournament for me. I have to admit though, I was not super-enthusiastic about going. Three hours away, no one else wanted to ride along/drive, and so on.

I'm definitely on for Ymir though! http://ymir.windmastershill.org/ And Thjora has nearly finished my new gambeson, so it will be the debut for all sorts of new gear! Mailcoat, gambeson, left vambrace, gorget and possibly some sort of new armor belt. My current one works under the mail, but is going to get all torn up if I wear it that way.

Rides are available to Ymir, though the feast is sold out. I'm staying over and having the feast, but Kelby is considering going and will be day tripping.
