Grateful to @PennMedicine: the surgery and anesthesia teams, urology, cardiology, nursing, PT, and all the other staff who helped make it possible for me to referee all ten days of @USFencing Summer Nationals.
Now to finish recovering so I can resume training in August, cross blades with some of you in the coming season, and see all of you again in Portland. Fence well!
To the Olympians, veterans, adult athletes, and my future college fencers: it's a pleasure to spend time with you. Coaches: be proud of your athletes: they had a good week here.
A great week so far in Columbus for USA Fencing Summer Nationals. First national final assignment, best-ever result competing (beat a B and a C), and two ref protégés making their national debuts. Welcome to the national cadre, Cindy and Eric!
