davidcook's little competition evaluation meme.
Equipment : 10/10
No failures, no faults, nothing forgotten. Even the glove overlay behaved itself for a change.
Fitness : 8/10
Felt physically fine except for the whole un-ergonomic workplace limb discomfort thing, and even that wasn't too bad. No shortage of breath or lack of energy - although I do wish I didn't get so hot.
Hydration : 9/10
No post-fencing headache, drank plenty and only fenced while thirsty once.
Food : 9/10
Pringles Sour Cream & Chives are now my official competition food of choice. Seem to work much better than sugary things and encourage me to drink more water. Finished the day hungry but not gnawing-on-David-ravenous. Having that sandwich for lunch was a good idea.
Concentration : 6/10
I was concentrating on hitting my opponent, but not on anything much more advanced than that.
Sleep : 5/10
5 hours sleep was 5 hours not enough. Mentally felt very tired, and while I could push my body to do what I wanted there wasn't enough happening automatically to make for a good fencing game. Not enough brain power to do everything.
78.3%
Last night I played with iMovie and the little clips of David fencing I took with my digital camera while in Wales. Lousy picture quality of course, but had fun putting a highlights package to boppy music, adding some silly special effects and then scaring David with it during a TV ad break. I still have a long way to go before matching the efforts of my father, but OTOH he does have an actual video camera which probably helps.
A short time later a show came on TV which consisted entirely of little sporting clips set to boppy music. I feel so... unoriginal. (Or possibly smug - "Ha! I can do that!")
