Without question the monday of 21st March 2005 was the most injurious that I've lived through. Because of the presence of BOTH fencing AND PE on the same day.

Started with PE. When I heard the teacher say "4 rounds" i was kinda happy because I like to run (if thats not evident by now) even though I know by the end of the run I'll be dying for lack of breath. Moreover, lets leave it that I had a lot of negative energy to burn that day.

After 1 round much to the consternation of the Geralds, I broke away and ran off on my own. After 2 rounds much to the consternation of me, I began to get nauseous, i suspect because of the lack of warmup.
After 4 rounds Gerald small caught right up with me, forcing a sprint for the last 200m from both of us that nearly burst 2 pairs of lungs. So much for that then.

Next was floorball where I came a hairsbreath to sustaining two more injuries. Because of Trina. By right the head of the stick should not be lifted above the knee. Alright, she did not infringe that, I'll give her that. But first she struck me in the jaw with the end of the stick. Next she prodded me about 2cm from a sensitive area which should not be talked about =D. Must emphasize.... she did not do it on purpose... In fact I found it quite amusing then, but in retrospect it was really quite *whoa.

So by the time it came to post-pe I was quite sore.

By the time it came to fencing I was hoping I wouldn't take anymore violent hits. But 3 things happened which I didn't expect them to.

1. During drill, by right the armed person should aim only below the yellow area of the VJ PE shirt because with the plastic swords one doesn't need a mask. But my partner, with a remarkable lack of point control, whipped his sword above the supposed target area, evaded a desperate parry (which i wasn't prepared to do actually, because i was supposed to stand and get hit), and stuck my face in the left orbital bone of my eye. I'd shudder to think of what it'd have been if the point had been just a centimeter lower.

2. We learnt how to do the fleche. For those whom I haven't told what that is, its a running leaping attack. You run at your opponent, hit him, then run past him off the piste forcing a "halt". So i was practising with my plastic sword on the dummy. I ran at the feller, hit him, crashed into the wall behind, the plastic blade richochetted and... well.... finished off what Trina tried to start this morning. Ouch. I was staggering doubled up ard the room with my friends laughing like mad...

3. During the mock bout against a girl from.... S28 i think... I couldn't move properly because of the above-mentioned incident. Moreover I was holding back cos she was sick. Next I was suffering from a slight headache. Last she received a two-point handicap from the coach, which meant that the score started 0-2 in favour of her. And the first one to 5 points would win. Okay, my timing was bad. I got thrashed 5-1. Mainly cos of the first reason, couldn't move fast enough. =/

Yups. So ended a very interesting day. I should have worn my PE shirt which shows that I have obviously vented my liver. Ouch... haha
