DYK:
-The friday night was probably the most uncomfortable night's sleep I've ever had at a competition
-managed to get almost 8 hours the second night though
-Despite putting about 20 hours practise in over the last month, only shaved 2 seconds off 5x5 average :/
-I had a 1:01.xx 4x4 single that was written down as 1:14.19, but didn't even notice until it was far too late.
-managed to pull of a 52.21 single out of the blue
-1/5 parity on Sq1
-Finally got an average
-BLD fails again
-still keeping up my 3PB's per comp streak
No, but there was one on the table near the end, and no one claimed it, so I assuming it's with lost property now.

Yeah, that's how I felt... 5.57 was 1 edge off by 1, and 5.27 was 1 edge off by 3, no idea how I managed that xD
Best UK comp I've been to, venue was amazing and it ran super smoothly. Thanks to all the organisers and staff
DYK:
- first comp in a year meant lots of pb's, unsurprisingly?
- probably pulled ahead of ollie in kinchranks now, sorry ollie?
- the train station, venue, hotel, tesco and mcdonalds were all within 5 minutes walk?
- kind of want to stop practising clock because bad averages are frustrating, but the fact i can get fast singles in comp is keeping me going?
- so much motivational shia labeouf?
- need to get one of these mofang sq-1's, and learn some of the algs charlie suggested?
- also a yuxin 555?
- most expensive comp drinks ever (£5.50 for a cider)?
- it was good to meet a bunch more people from the forums, especially the older cubers, ronald and nathaniel?
- '...but it's a breakfast cereal!'?
- burger king closes early?
- chris and i managed to find another mcdonalds on the way to mcdonalds?
- we struggled to finish by 10pm on saturday?
- 'just the tip'?
- matt loves bomemeian rhapsody?
- ollie's five word response game was interesting?
- 'just find something four words long and add amazing to the end'?
- we went to the loudest wetherspoons i've ever been in?
- i thought they were all just pubs?
- walking between spoons and hotel was accompanied with queen and death metal version of teenage dirtbag?
- i got many pb's on saturday, but only 1 on sunday?
- 'WHAT ARE THOOSE?'
- bought a beer as soon as my events were over?
- spoke to kevin about how i was going to sit and watch the final for the first time in 3 years?
- was asked to scramble 2 minutes before it started?
- final was too close to call?
- apart from ciarán but ciarán is op?
- so many +2's?
- really happy for rob, for winning a uk champs?
- my head hurt so much on the train home?
- really glad i don't go into uni on mondays so i can spend most of the day in bed?
- need to get my butt in gear and organise another comp?

- Driving on the wrong side is easy. Roundabouts are the hardest part. One time, I did enter some small car park on the right lane, but there were only two pedestrians walking there so I didn't kill anybody with that mistake. Arriving back in France and then staying on the right side again was confusing.
- 3/3 so yep
- yep
- forgot about tea so nope
DYK:
- Perfect venue
- Organizers did a VGJ
- 2 Stages with 8 timers each was excellent
- Only running behind on schedule once, because of the toytester tv crew
- At border security, we were asked to solve a cube and Bruno got an OLL-skip (+ "I used to peel the stickers off"...)
- Tiemen needs a belt
- I got 4 g-perms in the second round of 3x3 (standaard)
- Saturday morning, it was raining pipesteels on the carfastway
- Trip home (Stevenage - Antwerp) took us 6.5 hours because of a traffic jam at the start
- Bruno got 2/2 multiblind, which is ranked 2nd in Belgium (lol)

Right, guess it's time to get some goals in:
3x3:0 PB /
Nopes and yay! I was really gutted I didn't get my sub-30 single
2x2: PB/PB
Nopes and nopes (Ah well, I hadn't even touched my 2x2 since last comp, so could've seen this coming)
Pyra: PB/PB
Yay and yay!
FMC: PB (which is basically anything but a DNF)
Yay! (Although 73 is not a PB I'm proud of)
OH: make avg cut, which automatically will mean PB/PB
Nopes, not even by a long way... Then again, busting my index finger (it even bled) right before OH started didn't help either...
Clock: If I do buy one before the comp, get a somewhat decent time
Yay! I'm quite happy with my 40s
General:
beer,
Had it
have my software up and running, so we can do a really nice thing during comp,
Had some glitches, but it worked really well
get the times in as fast as possible,
Despite there being lots more times than usual, I think we did well
do more scrambling and judging (provided there are more people doing data entry),
I did! And I even got to be a runner in the final!
make second round in any event,
Nopes, come on, what did I expect
more beer,
I did, but only because Adam, Zak, Matt, Mac, Sarah, Ryan, and god knows who else convinced me
have a great weekend
This certainly was BEST COMP EVERR!!
Yeah, I can't complain

Great competition, sorry I forgot to thank everyone at the end, I was very tired! All the staff for working hard, Seventowns for providing everything they do, Sarah for the trophies, everyone who helped out judging/scrambling/running a lot, anyone else I missed again, you know who you are!
We have this, message me wherever to sort out returning it.

All goals accomplished. Thanks again to the organisers for a fantastic comp! Special thanks to Ollie for being my lucky judge and having the patience to endure my slow-mo MBLD and 4BLD attempts
A brilliant first comp for me, had a great, enjoyable time and met some amazing people. I didn't do as well as I would have hoped but I don't mind too much, since it was my first and because results shouldn't be too important.
My own thanks to all the people who helped organize and run the competition as well all the people who volunteered as judges and runners to help out. It ran very well.
I hope to go to another comp soon and meet some new people and those who I met over the weekend!

question, did I win the comp or did Rob? Rob became champion and I've seen numerous people say he won, but you can't really say I lost can you?
