Heilsa,
Rain did indeed fall during the night of the 3rd into the 4th and
brought a cooling breeze as oppose to that of Sunday and the Joint War
Practices. The shade pavilion was raised and the gathering started
around the tree. Everyone helped in both set-up and tear down.
Once, again people paced themselves, brought out water and gatorade,
went out and fought, came back off the field and cooled down and
replenished their fluids with water and/or gatorade.
It was a laid back practice this day - Spear training was conducted.
Some fighting, see below on individual fights - note, since I went to
get the BBQ missed those individual bouts, so be aware that there was
more than what is listed on this report.
The BBQ menu:
Beef
Pork Ribs

Tea

This is the second year that we have had a fighter practice with BBQ. We
