Seed (3) Hershberger, Aric - C08
DEs
1st bye
2nd (3) Hershberger, Aric - C08 vs (14) King, Brian - C09 12 - 15, bah he was sandbagging :) (or well he was doing poorly in the pools anyway, else he'd be in the top 4 seeds as he should have been) I got too close, countered too often, and missed a few parries - of course he'd pretty good at evading - he'll come in high for a flick and if you go for the high parry, he'll switch to low, if you go for a low parry he'll flick high, and he was getting all his flick on target, so I wasn't dropping correctly, just bending over. If I'd have been fencing smarter I could have done a bit better, but he's good.
Still it might have been a good thing I got knocked out of foil so early, I don't think I'd have had the energy to do as well as I did in Epee if I was still doing foil DEs during the Epee pools.
