Guys, you mentioned in the post comp email that the AUGUST bank holiday competition will take place around the 26th-27th of July, heh.
Anyway, I really wasn't pleased with my results, especially on Sunday (3x3 and 5x5 were the only events I really practiced for). My 3x3 average was at least 5 seconds slower than what I have been consistently averaging at home, and not having a single sub-30 solve was especially demoralising. 5x5 was even worse, both solves were almost a whole minute slower than usual for me, and I made so many looooong pauses. The biggest reason was perhaps that I hadn't had much sleep since Thursday. Additionally, this is my first comp where the lighting was a real hindrance to me. The venue was fancy, but the poor lighting definitely was not optimal for a comp setting.
On the bright side, I had a really lovely time meeting foreign cubers from all over! Hopefully I didn't make a bad first impression due to my grumpy tiredness. Looking forward to to seeing you again in Paris!
