Some of the IFC Crew, Officiating, Coaching, Fencing, or just hanging around.
Peter McCann getting some advice from his coach, Ina Harizanova.  Steve listens in, hoping to learn something.
Peter fencing Mr. Mann, who did him in by a score of 15-13.
As you can see, Mr. Mann has the unfair advantage of being able to rise several inches off the ground, as a means of avoiding toe touches.
Ouch!You think you're having a Bad Day?  Consider this poor guy.  He got hit in the groin four times in the same bout, and he wasn't wearing any protection.  If I had gotten to him just a few seconds earlier, you would have seen such a look of pain on his face.  Ironically, this is my best photo of the day.  Kodak Gold 400.
The eventual winner, Bob Chidel, on the left.  That guy wins everything!  Chris Karll officiates.
