Lexington was a good time! We had 27 competitors, if I remember correctly. Phil Thomas of course cleaned up in most of the events. (He beat me in 3x3x3 BLD by just 5 seconds. We were both rather slow - close to 2:30.) He set a North American record for 2x2x2 average. (Sorry, I don't remember the time.) He also got a 9.xx 3x3x3 solve (PLL skip).

The mystery event was great. They invited Phil to pick a partner, and once they were settled, Shaden dumped his stash of 30 scrambled cheapie 2x2x2's in front of them to solve as a team. They got it done in 4:02, if I remember right. Phil is a machine.

My daughters and I swept 1-2-3 for Master Magic - it's fun when that happens.

Oh, and I finally got a sub-10 4x4x4 BLD. Woot!!

Pictures are here. You can see the stack of 2x2x2's in the last photos. It was a beautiful thing.

To elaborate on Mike's post a little bit...

*28 competitors (27 in 3x3... we can't leave out Shaden who didn't compete in it!)
*Phil had a 3.79 2x2 average (2.66 best).
*For those with facebook, Shaden has added a few pictures as well... http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2010659&id=1182207417

Congrats everyone! Full results should be up shortly.

Thank you all for coming! Everything went smoothly and I can not thank you all enough for helping out and attending.



Oh, and don't forget my 6.66 on 2x2

Inching is the right word. I can't seem to improve by more than a tenth of a second at each competition
