[Steppes] Steppes Fighter Practice 06- 25- 2006

[Mike]

Heilsa,

Bright and Sunny with
White Clouds drifting by
Wind from South
Then West
Finally from North it came
While blowing strong
Warm to Humid
Record heat was NOT
Looked back one score and 6 fro such
High approach century mark
Missed mark by 2 - 98 was all it was
While the humidity approached 70%

One of Carrollton 's Finest Stopped by
Centurion Tomas and Lord Michael Spoke with him
Concerning the SCA, Fighter Practice in the Park
Handout of web sites given out

Future Events -

There is a possible War practice prior to
Gothic Wars in August - still in planning stage
at this time.

Gothic Wars:
Labor Day Weekend

Sweetwater, Texas

Please start drinking extra water several days prior to the day of practice.
This is also true of going to an event, be it SCA related or not.
You will have a better time and enjoy yourself more
if you are hydrate before you start your activity.
Energy drinks may give you a lift, but will not carry you as far,
  when compared to water and gatorade.

Remember - Pace yourself!

Please bring at least 1 gallon or more of water and gatorade. I
recommend 2 gallons of fluids and snacks to replenish your
energy levels if you are in armor and fighting.
Suggested of items you might wish to bring out:
- cold pickles
- oranges - energy bars - etc...
- Bring Chairs for you to sit upon.
- Sunscreen
- Hats
