Norwegian Open 2009

It was a great competition!
Thanks for saving us Henrik
I'm pretty happy with my own results. 2 out of the 3 events I was hoping to do well in ended in victory and national records, but BLD didn't go too well :/
I guess I will have to enter in some other comp to fix that

Looks like it was a very high level competition comparing with last year NO.

Well, it was not last year but two years ago and yes the improvement is quite amazing. I got a silver medal last time in 5x5 with a 4 min average and a best 3 min 49 and this year, I did not even manage to get in the final with my 2:30...

PS for Edvard: I don't know what method you are using but the scrambles were quite difficult this year for pochman methods (no solved edge, no solved corners, at least one "correctly-placed but badly-oriented" piece per solve, ...). So yes, definitively, just try again in another comp

It was in fact last year, adragast. We're not lazy either...

 

[adragast]

Sorry, my mistake then. Never said anyone was lazy

Thanks for uploading!
I guess its not so interesting for the people here at the forums since its only a sub 1:10 solve.

I use M2 edges and Old/Classic Pochmann corners, and I don't need easy scrambles to solve successfully ^^

My original plan was to rush the first two solves and then do the third one safe if I had two DNFs, but I couldn't make myself do it (my memo felt pretty solid on all the solves). The last one ended up with two edges off (and centers misoriented)... Please upload it to YT Kristoffer
