I’ve always wanted to blog about last two weeks’ National Trials. Okay I’ll go straight to the point. I won the second national trials! Well luck was on my side big time. The elites didn’t compete, so the only strong fencers left were Jing Xun, Joseph, and me, I guess. And it was quite an easy competition, and there should not be a reason for me to fumble because there were only 8 fencers. The thing is that I was fating during the competition!! Haha, well I guess luck was REALLY on my side.

In fact, I personally felt that DP fencers did very well for this competition. Harshan lost to Wei Wen 15-14 in the quarter final round, and harshan was fasting during the competition as well.

After National trials all of us played pool while waiting for the time to break fast. We were totally exhausted. It’s not easy for one to compete without food or water. Actually I’d rather die of hunger than to die of thirst. My throat was like completely dry. When it was about 6.30, we met up with coach and the rest at a food court. Coach was discussing with me about flying to Romania for a training camp. Although food and accommodation will be taken care of, my dad wouldn’t allow me to go because I still got school during that point of time :( . Well I guess I have to wait till the semester ends.
