I’m totally spent and I ache everywhere, even 24 hours after the event.  2 ½ hours of fighting before lunch and another 2 ½ hours after lunch did me in.   :o

My butted mail aventail, voiders, and skirt were shredded (again).  I really have to spring for some riveted mail!  I did manage to avoid the large bruises that typically accompany SCA combat.

Though I didn’t win a formal award, I was presented a token by Her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for “having the most fun while fighting”!   :)

My cheap camera bit the dust so I’m hoping to snag some photographs from other people in attendance.

Heh. For a second there, I thought you guys were on skates. Talk about your Battle on the Ice. ;D
