Finally! And to think that this all happened as a result of a lost piece almost exactly 1 year ago...
Meh, not getting too emotional about it. Like Noah, I am relieved more than anything. This can definitely be reduced further, and I hope to be the one to do that!
I'm not aware of any video; one person (Corey) asked if he could film, but I declined in case I got nervous. I would have allowed him to film the planned second round if I got NAR in the first round (which i did), but no-shows cancelled the second round.
Before Ohio Fall 2011: wanted to make my knockoff clock better, ended up losing a piece and buying a Rubik's clock instead
After Ohio Fall 2011: opened the Rubik's clock and lubed it; started averaging sub10
Carnegie Mellon Spring 2012: 7.94 single, 2nd in North America at the time
Tianjin Open 2012: first sub10 average in comp but no good singles; started averaging sub8 after this
US Nationals 2012: 6.77 single but fail averages; Deven got NAR average instead (twice); at least I didn't break the old NAR there, or I would have been more annoyed
Appalachia 2012: did not wake up in time for my ride due to stupid alarm clock setting (the organizer said before the comp that they'd be willing to add clock)
CSP Fall 2012: convinced the organizer to add it, but it got dropped again due to getting way behind schedule
Today: got an 11 on the first scramble, started freaking out. Somehow managed to settle down for the last 4 solves

Congrats on the NAR average! You deserve it
