German Nationals 2010

[tim]

I was told that I was grumpy, actually that I am grumpy at most competitions. Maybe it is the age difference... Maybe it is the stress before and during the competition...

Maybe the age difference, but in my opinion people should respect you for that rather than taking advantage of it. I don't know why, but people - mostly newcomers - are afraid of you. They shouldn't be!

Haha, i also was afraid of Ron (and even more of Ton) at my first competition. But only until they've talked to me. It's exactly like Arnaud said.

I found the German Nationals pretty well organized. And there were even almost never too few judges/scramblers available.
But i can understand why you get grumpy sometimes. I've noticed this half-an-hour-too-late-in-order-to-spend-15+-minutes-on-a-bld-solve guy myself...

Congratz Erik to 9.57! Without Faz hanging around this would be an incredible WR.:tu

Did you know?

- Breandan is so coool?
- He finally got his PLL skip? (8.08)
- It was his first after like 200 official solves?
- The competition was in Movie world with roller-coasters and stuff?
- The schedule was so busy I only went in 2 roller-coasters...
- The personnel of the park was grumpy?
- Ron wasn't? (srsly how did people get that impression?)
- The first few years I cube I was a bit scared of Ron?
- It was just because he is just intimidating with what he all has done for the WCA?
- Almost got sub-1:10 5x5 AGAIN?
- Almost got a sub-4 7x7 now?

- ER ?? huh? Still don't know how I did that...
- The solves in the final were probably solve 3,4,5,6 and 7 on the cube I used?
- It was Breandans nice GuHong?
- Thanks so much for it!!! (he gave it to me afterwards!!!)
- In return I had to get up at 5 in the morning to drive him to the station?

- Conny is crazy too?
- Nora is crazy too??? She got a non-lucky 11.28 with like 3 second A-perm *proud*
- She and some others got really wet at the waterslide?
- We all were wet anyway after the competition was over.......

- Dave!!!
- Mike!!!

[Yes We Can!]

I became German Champion for 2x2, 3x3 and 4x4! Very happy about that
The 3x3 1st place got me the ticket for EURO 2010

Good results for me:
3x3 8.93 single (NL), 10.06 avg NR
2x2 2.76 avg ER !!!
4x4 46.61 single and 2 52 avgs, once with counting 59 :fp
5x5 1:19.55 single NR (WTF), that's my best solve ever and my 2nd best solve is 1:28
OH 15.88 PLL skip single, another 17.36 pll skip and 2 17.xy non-luckys. 21.26 avg (3rd place)
master magic: 2.68 single, 3.04 avg after 3 month of not touching it it was faster than the previous NR but I still only got 3rd D:
BLD 1:21 single with guessing the last target (2nd place)
and magic 3rd place with 1.28 avg (normal)

All in all an awesome (!) competition. I want to thank Ron, Basti, Berit, Hanneke, Fabi und everyone else who helped for making it possible

See you all (or at least some of you) in Budapest

EDIT:
My winning avg - yes, it was really bad It was due to me being nervous and two +2s which turned a possible 11.42 avg into 12.01 :/ Still enough to win though
