Heilsa,
Sunday, the day after a new King and Queen
Stepped up to represent the Crane and the Lion
The day was Bright and clear of Sky
Blue the color - fading off in the distance as if
Giving warning of what is or might come later
The breeze strong and out of the North
Fading to slight stirring upon one's face
As the Day advance forward as if a shieldwall
March toward the distance - Facing Eastward
Cool with high of 44 - warm if in armor
How ready are you?
WIll you be able to take the road eastward?
Clouds have been seen there with trouble yet
Comes from there
Central Regional War practice this Sunday (2-3-07)
Bear Pit Tournament each Sunday of February
With a winner to be announced at the end
Just in Time to Take the road East.
Then return to enter into Crown afterwards
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!
Everyone needs to bring water to the park. I would recommend
the following:
Please bring at least 1 gallon or more of water and gatorade
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, a bright sun with some wind and...
- Hats
- This time of year - blankets
