Earliest you've woken up for a competition?

[WACWCA]

Today is the earliest for me, got up at 5 to leave at 5:20, still not bad to others I've heard

 

[Torch]

Mine is 4:00 for Discovery Place 2016 (unless you count the comps where I didn't sleep the night before)

 

[Jaysammey777]

3:00 am

 

[FastCubeMaster]

I don't know if this counts but I had to get up at 3:30 (+-30min) for a Flight around 5:30 to go back home after a comp and go to school that day.

5:15 for one of the Hamliton comps I woke up earlier than needed uninteasionlly. I think the lastest I've woken up isn't after 7am. I have been at the venue at 7am.

My last comp I travelled on a overnight bus (it had a bed) but I have no idea how much sleep I got, it felt like none during the night, but I didn't feel exhausted during the first day.

For the comp in Palmerston North last year I woke up at about 6 or 6:30 but daylight savings started that day so it was 5-5:30

 

[Cale S]

Woke up at 4:20 AM for Nationals flight

Both my dad and my brother missed their alarms, I almost did but at 11 PM before I realized I had it for PM at first

Just before 7:00, I've yet been to no comps further than 30 km away from me.

 

[YouCubing]

might change soon but for athens spring and classic city shenanigans, i woke up at 5:30

 

[Tycubing]

6:00 because I don't travel more than an hour usually, but when I do, I get a hotel room.

 

[JustinTimeCuber]

6:53 for Overland Park.

 

[AidanNoogie]

I'm going to wake up at 5:45 to leave at 6:30 for midcoast cubing on June 10th. It will be my first comp!

 

[Luke8]

I drove for like ten hours to get to a comp and arrived at 1:30 am. I had to wake up at 5 am.

 

[Rubix Cubix]

I drove for like ten hours to get to a comp and arrived at 1:30 am. I had to wake up at 5 am.

That is some dedication, I don't think I'd go more than a few hours

 

[newtonbase]

About 5am for UK 2016 I think. I was looking at a 4am start for the World Championships this year but I still couldn't guarantee getting there for MBLD and 3x3 so decided I'll miss them and just do later events. Now I won't have to get up early at all.

 

[Malkom]

I unintentionally wake up 4 am for every comp, probably because I'm so afraid I will oversleep.

 

[Ordway Persyn]

At about 2:30 AM for SETX 2017, got there pretty early though.

 

[Mastermind2368]

I unintentionally wake up 4 am for every comp, probably because I'm so afraid I will oversleep.

I get up at like three, but fall back asleep.

 

[CornerCutter]

I woke up for my first competition at 3am. I guess I was excited. I didn't have to leave until 6am though, that was a long 3 hours.

 

[One Wheel]

The one comp I've been to I got up at 4:00, I think. I had to milk 40 cows then drive 2 hours to get there by 9:00. I doubt I'll ever go to a comp when I can sleep in past 5:00 and still get there.

 

[AlphaSheep]

Tricky question with multiple answers, depending on what counts as waking up for a comp.

• Driving directly to a comp: 5:45 - For a comp in the next city (about an hour drive away). I had to arrive by 7:30 to help set up.
• Going somewhere before a comp: 5:15 - The comp was 2 days. The second day was a Monday, but the first event started at 16:00. I woke up at 5:15 (my normal wake up time for a weekday), went to work until 15:30, and then drove straight to the comp which was 10 minutes from my work.
• For a flight to get to a comp: 4:00 - This was the day before the competition. I always get accommodation and stay over night if the comp is far away. Does this still count?
