Irish Championship 2015 - 4-5th July

DYK

Friday
It took me like five seconds to realise I had just shaken hands with Ollie.
Ollie can do 4BLD in a noisy restaurant and still get sub 3.
I'm only able to do 6/10 scrambles in the same restaurant?.
I did 5 4BLD attempts on Friday. All were DNFs. Two were off by two centres.

Saturday
Guimond sucks for 2x2. Still better than ortega though.
4x4 was probably the event I did the best in?
37.02 overall PB...
I'm pretty sure I got more than my fair share of no parities...
I should have done pyra.
I'm the second fastest in Ireland at megaminx?
6x6 R2: I'm scared of Ciarán.
Greg knows a word from nearly every language wtf.

Sunday
sune + T perm = 7.78?
3x3 R1: I'm more scared of Ciarán.
13.41 OH single... So close...
James Hamm is actually really good at FMC.
Memoed a flipped edge using visual during multi... Forgot to flip it *facepalm*
I suck at judging clock.
3x3 R2: I'm even more scared of Ciarán
After my fourth attempt in skewb, I said "I'll try for a sub 10 next solve". I got a 6.63.
That's my overall PB?
3BLD attempts:
1. 34.xx Just went for it because I only had 4 corner targets and a twisted corner. Forgot half of my edge memo though.
2. 51.88 Safe solve. Best way to describe my feelings on it would be to say I'm happy, but slightly disappointed. I got the national record, but I missed out on top 100 in the WCA and the third solve could have been sub 40.
3: 33.xx Off by a 3-cycle. 12 second memo according to Adam and Ciarán. Edge memo started off with: oKAy, the QueeN is CooL with. When I did the solve though, I remembered oKAy, the QueeN is oKAy with. I realised that that couldn't be right because I already had the KA pair earlier on. So I just skipped it and that resulted in it being a 3-cycle off.
​
I beat Ollie at least once at a BLD race though :P
I managed to direct my nerves at something else during the 3x3 finals by worrying about whether my phone would have enough memory to film the finals.
Cube drops...
Aisling Chan reminds me of Ciarán. Really fast for her age. I'd watch out for her if I were Ciarán.
I didn't get lost on the way home yay.
