These are huge tournaments and for this one 1,865 fencers are entered. I am staying at a hotel which is about a 5 minute walk from the Centre which is hosting the tournament. It a very nice room and I am going to enjoy the king sized bed!
Downtown Detroit is what I expected it to be. Empty, dingy and depressed. Still I am glad I am staying close to the venue. It saves a lot of hassle. It als
o makes it easier for me to get to the venue and have all my equipment checked and, yes, it all passed!I looked around at teeshirts and talked to a few people I know. Then I watched a couple of friends fence in the first elimination round.
Tomorrow I fence in Men's Sabre 40 and over, and bright and early Monday morning it is Men's Sabre 50-59 age group. I injured my elbow and have practiced very little while it recovered. Hopefully tomorrow I can get all the rust off and fence well Monday. Be interesting to see how it all goes.

I'm envious of that bed! See, you had lots of room for Morgan!
