Cuthberts Open 2015 - 26th/27th September (UK)

Tyler's day one retrospective:

Clock: didn't get an average.
4x4: didn't get an average.
Pyraminx: didn't get an average.
2x2: almost didn't get an average 'cos I accidentally walked in completely the wrong direction when heading back from the hotel and got lost. Made it to the event in the nick of time.
Nandos: cheeky.

Mega: Don't come last... Yup
3BLD: Sub 4, Can't expect a mean but why not Sub 5. Noooooooooooooo
Feet: Ew, I don't do feet, seriously. Ew, feet :p
.

Very good results. Extremely happy with 4x4 and 5x5.
 
I guess a lone goal could be:
  • Don't perform too shamefully NOoooOoooo.

Oh wow, my 3x3 results were terrible this comp. Like, I messed up on every solve. I felt genuinely miserable for around 30 mins afterwards,

Horrible times on pretty much all events aside, this was probably the most fun I've had at a comp since I started. Thanks again for having me!

DYKs tomorrow.
 
Thank you so much to Billy, Daniel and James.
It was really nice to take it easy at a comp and actually get some warm up solves in.

Stuff to come tomorrow.


Woooo, I finally broke my 3BLD DNF streak and knocked 31 secs off my pb.
 
Goals:

2x2:sub 2/sub 3 no and yes, 2.70 average :)
3x3: sub 10/sub 12 yes and yes! 7.97 single and a 10.57 average!
4x4: sub 50/ sub 1:00 yes yes, 53 average
5x5: sub 1:40/ sub 1:50 almost and yes
6x6: don't make cut didn't do it
7x7: idek "
Pyra: sub 3/ sub 4 NR pls yes and yes, but no NR
Square-1: sub Connor / sub Connor (I don't mean to be mean but those are realistic goals for me :p) no and yes
OH: sub 20/ sub 25 a few 17s so yes and a 19 average!!!!
Feet: sub 2/ sub 2:30 I haven't practiced in a while lol DNF because I stopped the timer by accident :/
BLD: success? Sub Jay for nemesis reasons no but chocolate :)
Mega:be mega good :p puntastic I think I did good
Clock: sub 18/ sub 20 didn't do clock either

a very good comp results wise, I won pyra, second in 2x2 and third in square-1. And I also got a 7 :)

Edit: Also 4BLD: DNF by 5 centres and 5 wings :/
 
The total hours of cubing I did after ABHC till the night prior to CO2015 is less than 15. I wasn't expecting to get some pbs down.

Also, my primary goal is to has at least one success in 4BLD. My secondary goal was redemption for my 5BLD inaccuracy during ABHC. I was 1 cycle (which I knew I did wrong, but did the wrong reversal move) away from 100% success rate.

Edit: just to reiterate, I think the video of 3final will be uploaded to YouTube, but i won't be uploading them. It is better to be uploaded on the UKCA channel imo.

Send the video to me via wetransfer.com, you can find my email easily.
 
Less then 3 weeks before it all starts, so time for some goals:

2x2: PB / PB > No / No
3x3: sub-40 PB / sub-45 PB > Yes / Yes
OH: PB / Make avg cut (not gonna happen, but oh well, one can try) > No / No
pyra: PB / PB > No / No

Saturday was aweful result-wise, but Sunday was good :) Despite messing up the first 2 solves, I managed to save my PB with the other 3 :D
 
Thanks again to Billy and the UKCA team for putting in their time and effort to give us another awesome UK comp!

Also I thought the venue was great. It was great to give cubing some exposure and I didn't personally see the public setting detract in any way.
