May crown

Wow!

This event was made of awesome.

I didn't know that I could have this much fun even without fighting.

I will admit that if I would have had my armour... I would have fought. But I'm trying to be more mature about my injuries and I've learned by the experiences of other fighters that if I don't start taking care of myself now, I won't be able to fight anymore in 20 years. 

So! No fighting for my this weekend but I still learned a load of awesome stuff!!

I was authorized senior marshal and took the opportunity to marshal a bit. Fully aware that I am still pretty green, I made sure to tell my marshalling-partner that if he/she saw something wrong to tear me a new one. 

I got to see really really great epic fighters from way close and I got a few things I wanna try now.. I also got to see "the mind game" without myself being in mine. It's very interesting to see how everything changes when adrenaline kicks in. 

I've also made a few mental notes for my future A&S project. Now I just need to figure out how to word everything so that it makes sense... It's gonna be a hell of a challenge.

The list-peeps rocked!! I've never seen a tournament go that fast! Everything ran great! 

Waterbearers were epic! And there was a young Sgain MacBeighn look-alike that I swear was stalking me (thank you X10) and kept everyone super hydrated. An hydrated Hlíf is a happy Hlíf.

There was a lot of peerage elevations!! Congratulations to all! You are an inspiration. People look up to you and learn from you. There's no greater honour than to be a teacher.

We have a new Crown Prince and Princess. I've never met them but I've heard great things and I wish them an awesome reign.

If there's a lesson to take out of this weekend, it would be that teamwork is Da-shit. From setting pavilions to running a tournament, when everyone is on the same page and communication is respected, mountains can be moved.
