I'll be competing MBLD at home to see how I'd do. (Yes I realise it's not the same).

Just arrived at Hatfield much earlier than I thought I would. Where's everyone hanging?

Just hanging at home
. Is there a record for the least hotels needed to be booked for the amount of comps? I've only had to book one hotel and this will be my sixth comp.

Tyler's day one retrospective:
Clock: didn't get an average.
4x4: didn't get an average.
Pyraminx: didn't get an average.
2x2: almost didn't get an average 'cos I accidentally walked in completely the wrong direction when heading back from the hotel and got lost. Made it to the event in the nick of time.
Nandos: cheeky.

Oh wow, my 3x3 results were terrible this comp. Like, I messed up on every solve. I felt genuinely miserable for around 30 mins afterwards,
Horrible times on pretty much all events aside, this was probably the most fun I've had at a comp since I started. Thanks again for having me!
DYKs tomorrow.

Thank you so much to Billy, Daniel and James.
It was really nice to take it easy at a comp and actually get some warm up solves in.
Stuff to come tomorrow.
Woooo, I finally broke my 3BLD DNF streak and knocked 31 secs off my pb.

The total hours of cubing I did after ABHC till the night prior to CO2015 is less than 15. I wasn't expecting to get some pbs down.
Also, my primary goal is to has at least one success in 4BLD. My secondary goal was redemption for my 5BLD inaccuracy during ABHC. I was 1 cycle (which I knew I did wrong, but did the wrong reversal move) away from 100% success rate.
Edit: just to reiterate, I think the video of 3final will be uploaded to YouTube, but i won't be uploading them. It is better to be uploaded on the UKCA channel imo.

Saturday was aweful result-wise, but Sunday was good
Despite messing up the first 2 solves, I managed to save my PB with the other 3

Not sure if it helps, I transferred everything I had from 3final to wrap up into Billy's laptop.

Thanks again to Billy and the UKCA team for putting in their time and effort to give us another awesome UK comp!
Also I thought the venue was great. It was great to give cubing some exposure and I didn't personally see the public setting detract in any way.
