8:07.56 3x3 DNF, off by three edges. I learned M2 last night and this was my first attempt with it. I was getting 4:xx with Old Pochmann.

I will get a success today :)

Isn't it the judge that stop the timer? So it would have counted, I guess.

Yes, the judge is supposed to stop the competitor at one hour. So it should have counted (if judged correctly).

Nice job, Chester - I want to see 18/18 at Nationals!
