Coronation (Congrats Clewin!)
Although driving up to Heronter and back with Clewin having 3 hours of sleep and my exhausted self was not a grand idea, we had a very good time at the event.
Of course, when we got there and I saw the signs for A&S, I realized I had completely forgotten my entry at home. Oops.
There wasn't a very big field for Queen's Rapier Champion (only 15), and the first round was single pass round robin. That meant the tourney didn't take very long. There were two pools, and by chance most of the better fighters ended up in one pool. That was also the pool where I have regularly fought 5 of the 7 people in it. The other list I was familiar with only one.
I fought very well, but lost the tie-breaker to Emily and thus did not advance to the second round (4 fighters advanced). Clewin, having beat me in round robin advanced and went on to beat Jacob to win the tourney. (Ha ha, now you get to stand in court!)
I got winded quickly so I ended up not doing very many pick-ups. Then we hung out with friends until it was time for court.
Dorinda suggested Friendly's in Jamestown for dinner. It was a very good choice. The service was good, the food came out very quickly, and the food was delicious. Probably the best chain restaurant meal I have had in a while.
