Did you know...
- Belgium + Open = awesome weekend
- Lars = promoted to hero status
- Sexy J x 100 is fun. Shame I got Fs and Gs in the 3x3 instead.
- I had lol clock average (7,9,DNF(9),26,8)
- I memo 4x4 faster than 3x3 per piece. Not joking
- FMC is relaxing, but multibld is even more relaxing
- Charlie + Eurostar + pyraOH = fun
- We got a train LL skip. Now I have my 2nd LL skip (1st was on a MTS)
- Sometimes I don't understand German, but I could tell when Sebastien and and Berit were laughing at me
- Maarten 8.10 wow
- I had a few sub-20 F2Ls in FMC (including ones woith edges oriented), but my 31 came from a 25 move F2L
- When I judge Charlie she does incredible things

That's all for now

The scramble for my 1:05.09 BLD

D' F2 D2 B2 R2 U' L2 D2 R2 U' R2 U2 L R' B' D U2 F R' D2 R2 U (regenerated with CE, I still know the memo )

That was a pretty nice one. I got 1:36.19 with 42 second memorization; the memorization felt really slow, though - it should have been much faster. Your 1:05.09 was much faster than I could have ever done it, though - nice job!

Did you know?

-I just got home and photos will be up soon
-I am so very very tired although I am definitely benefiting from knowing Arnaud as the 'if you sleep less there is more time for fun' philosophy is starting to become a lifestyle choice for me
-This was my quickest ever competition, arrive Saturday morning (late) and leave right after on Sunday
-The venue was a great choice in terms of diet coke vending machines and train links
-Lars' stairs are steep but I managed to not fall over on them
-Sometimes Karsten sounds like a foghorn
-"Dan, what do you think about piercings?"
-Joey was silly to go to Denmark
-Leuven is a nice place, shame I couldn't see it more
-I had a Belgian waffle, so I had a nice time
-It felt like I had been there a week, not two days!
-PyraOH and MTS funtimes with Daniel on the train
-I had the best apple ever on Saturday
-I had another one it was so tasty
-My times were all fail but I did manage to get a new PB for magic average, master magic average, 6x6 single and OH SINGLE.
-Right before I got that amazing single I said to Daniel I had scraped through the time limit to do an average with 58.xxs solve (you needed sub 1 for an average) and that he would probably have to wait two minutes for me to finish. I then busted out an LL skip almost and got 32, so ridiculous...

That's all I can really remember, I am so exhausted I can barely see

I lost my timer. Did anyone found it? My name is Guus de Wit and I had written it on my timer.

Four PB and one more country - Lars, thanks for organising a great competition.

 

[Cubenovice]

Some lousy cubing from my side but a great first competition. I will definately be back for more.

Thanks Lars, Dan, Joel, Ton, Table-mates, Anders and all other for your kindness, hints and tips.

PS: Anders, I did my first few corners-first solves today! Thank you for the inspiration!
