Yep, also for Euros.

2x2: sub5 (nope)
3x3: sub17 (nope)
4x4: pb (nope)
5x5: not get parity (yep, with 4:13.69 overall pb solve = DNF due to the time limit)
OH: sub29, not fail pls (yep, even sub28 with a nice 23.00 single)
Pyra: pb (yep, both avg and single, kinda surprised because I didn't train Pyra at all)
Mega: no DNF by time limit (means sub3min) (yep)
BLD: pb (DNF)
MBLD: 2/2 (nope, couldn't attend because mosaic was scheduled at the same time)
FMC: pb single, no DNF (DNF)

Right, I only care about 3x3 and OH.

Furthermore: Winning the mosaic event (nope ) and socialize with famous cubers ().

In general being at Euro 2016 was an awesome experience!

Overall I am extremely satisfied with my improvement over the last month and a half. I think I am going to start focusing mostly on 3x3 and 5x5, and try to get some more blind solves. (Current pb for blind is around 9 minutes.)

Don't compete in so many events next comp. We'll see
Don't go over inspection/don't resort to cfop (I use ZZ). Yup
No +2s in anything. 17.06->19.06 3x3 fail. Only +2 though
Meet some famous people (Kit, Jay, Mark, Rami, Antoine). Yes?
Re-meet some people I've met before and with whom I would actually hang out. Yes kinda re-meets and but new people
Enjoy the comp even if I fail. I did fail, but it was still funish
Get my little brother to compete in some stuff (2/3/OH/pyra/skewb?). No, he was too scared

Overall, a well organized comp, but I just failed the entire thing, Feet was the one good thing that happened. Kinda pleased with a sub-20 OH, but the average was complete trash.
Really disappointed in myself.

 

[Iggy]

Mini goals for the rest of summer (about 3 weeks):
Sub 1 megaminx avg100, might take longer though
Finish my letter pair list for BLD

Goals for a comp I have next weekend:
3x3: podium
OH: sub 18 avg
FMC: mean
Feet: decent mean, times are still fluctuating so I'll see how fast I am then
3BLD: don't fail, sub 30 would be nice
MBLD: NR

 

[sqAree]

BLD: sub5:00 single (3/3 DNFs, one of them was sub4:00 though with 2 twisted corners + edges)
FMC: pb mean and single (DNF mean, 37 pb single)

In general not getting too many DNF, +2s and pops. (five DNFs and a +2 due to overinspection)

All those goals are pretty close to impossible / super hard, so I hope I'll get at least one.

In general I'm happy, but some of the fails were avoidable.
