Thanks for the encouragement. It's all about trying to better yourself. I'm not sure when I'll be able to go for my next competition (could be in two years because I might still be too busy with my twins next year) but I'm planning to do better next time (and I assume there WILL be a next time... but who knows... I could be an old lady by then lol... I'm already old compared to all the young guys out there). Not sure if my pyraminx medal was deserved as I was actually slighly disappointed that I didn't get a sub-7 average even though I think my 7.0x average gets me within top 10 in Canada. I'm sure it's because people don't care very much about it here. I also think everyone choked in the finals. I guess I'm lucky. :p

Currently 7th in Canada by 0.01
7.0x averages getting podiums isn't that uncommon. However I do agree that we chocked in finals considering I got 5.6x average in the first round and didn't end up podiuming.
 
So it was 7.06? Because 7th right now is 7.07. I guess personally I would feel better about it if I had gotten a sub-7. And normally at home I can do sub-7 without problems. In first round pyraminx I just didn't do very well (maybe nervous). In finals I think I got one of the harder recognition cases (for me anyway) at least 3 of the 5 solves and a longer last step as well. When do the results show up on the WCA site? I just think it's exciting to get a WCA profile hahah.

According to this, you got a 7.06 average.

Dave said yesterday evening that he had sent the results to the WCA results team, so it shouldn't be too long before they get posted.

You are so right about It's all about trying to better yourself. I enter competitions where Mats Valk and Erik Akkersdijk rule every event. I get happy with a good single or take a second on an average ;) I think in two years you might be doing a sub 10 average. You really have what it takes. Btw, I love your first name. No wonder you are a music teacher as well. ;)

Aww thanks... didn't realize you didn't know my name though if you watch some of my violin youtube videos you might be able to figure it out. :) I rather doubt the sub-10 thing though. Don't forget my twins are coming in September and my oldest (of 5) will still only be 5 and a half. I think I'm just a little too busy for sub-10 (plus I'm not that young). I'm thinking 12-ish would be nice. I guess we'll see, won't we?
