The Battle of Lexington

Oh you will Mike, no worries. I haven't seen such low ao5's, I think it's due to all the new time I have here recently so I have been practicing a LOT. Honestly since it's only my 2nd comp, I'll probably still get a bit nervous and wouldn't be surprised at all if you beat me, I'm honestly not that fast yet :P

I get nervous too. I just got a 24.86 for the race to sub-20 this week. I almost always have averages of 25 much lower than that now, but somehow with the competition, I tend to get nervous and mess it up - even at home. So we'll see how it goes there.
 
13.96, 11.52, 14.65, (17.55), 14.05, 13.33, 15.65, 14.30, 15.18, 15.84, 14.83, (10.78) = 14.33

Pretty much one of my last averages before this competition. :) I'm leaving in a couple hours, I may extend this to an avg100.
 
I'll be sending out an email to all competitors this evening. There has been some unexpected construction downtown that blocks the parking garage. I'll send out instructions for parking and navigating through the construction.
 
Thanks for the heads up, Shaden.

Mike: I haven't been able to achieve many low ao5's today :/ I've had a few but only one 20.49 (which is close to sub20 again!). I'm wondering if I'm burning myself out and if I should take a break from it for a few hours. I'm not solving for hours on end, but I watch a tv show, do a few ao5's, get more water, a few more ao5's (shooting for a sub24 at least twice each ao5 but it's not working out so well), watch more tv, etc.

I just did 25 solves today; I got one 21.28 average 3/5. My overall average was a rotten 23.81, though. I think I'm too tired from all the BLD practice last night. Hopefully I can get some good sleep tonight before the early morning drive.

And the 9:30 2x2 round
 
Last minute direction printing and bed time! Mike: Nice 21.28 average! My best average in the past two to three days practicing was my first sub20 ao5 at 19.91! I got a 20.49 earlier today, we'll see what happens!

SEE YOU ALL THERE!
