Clock: PB single if nothing else
Great single and good avg. For once I actually
wanted to use my own puzzle, but one of the magnets came off right before the round and I had to borrow a Clock.
Unfortunately everyone else decided to get fast that round as well. :/ Didn't even make final with 8.93.
7x7: Decent PBs because I'm getting a decent cube
Very decent, but same as Clock, loads of other people PBed and I'm not sure how much I actually moved up the rankings.
Yes, but I only needed a success
What I really wanted was start practicing again and get a good PB single, but I didn't practice and still ended up with a 1:36 single in round 1. Maybe a PB if I reviewed less.
Why even hold a comp without Square-1
Other events:
3x3: I got kind of used to making finals. Unfortunately I'm also used to getting 13 averages
2x2: PB average, pretty nice but still pretty slow
4x4: Didn't actually get PB single, 0.09 off. Bad averages
5x5: PB2 average, with a 1:31 best single, even though my PB avg is 1:29.
6x6: I haven't done 6x6 in ages but all the 7x7 practice made it seem small and easy. Overall PBs
OH: Started off with a 20.08 single that felt like the worst solve ever, then an 18, then messed up the average. Looks like I missed the final from a +2...
Skewb: Beat my 2016 PB single
Longer solution too
Other stuff:
- I didn't PB at all on Sunday
- I cut my thumb on Sunday morning. Maybe that's why (or maybe not)
- I didn't take any cube out of my bag on Sunday because I borrowed everything
- Which was probably a good idea since I lost a GTS2M on Saturday. It's stickerless with no logo so really generic, only distinguishing feature may be that it's quite tight. Basically does anyone have my cube
- With the Skewb and Clock PBs I finally got rid of all my 2016 PBs. Now my oldest PB has jumped all the way to Guildford 2017... how long will the 5.73 last?
Was incredibly happy with this one, possibly the highlight of the competition.
