A good day cycling will never compare to a good day fencing.
A day working on my bike will never be as relaxing as a day armoring epees.
The satisfaction I get from a ride, no matter how good, will never match the satisfaction from a well executed toe touch.
And a bad day fencing never landed me in the hospital with 6 stitches in my chin.
I think that probably means something...
A few thoughts, if you don't mind indulging me...
ReplyDeleteI think that we all have our "thing", but our hobbies are not necessarily mutually exclusive. To compare it to my life, I'd use hiking and diving. I love hiking. I love nature, I love the trees, I love exploring the woods. I love walking around amongst the trees, the rocks, the creatures... I find it incredibly beautiful and peaceful.
Yet, even a hike where I find an endangered slipper orchid pales in comparison to a dive where I'm even just teaching a student. It's an entirely different mental and physical state for me.
I guess really what I'm saying is "I Feel ya".
I love fencing! If you like both biking and fencing, maybe jousting is for you!!! haha.
ReplyDeleteWhere do you fence?
