Well the AvG1 competition was great fun. Always nice to see the super fastest people on earth like Mats Valk, Rowe Hessler and Erik Akkersdijk doing their stuff. I had been doing very good with my averages the last few weeks. I was truely averaging 26 seconds on the 3 X 3. Two weeks before the event I decided to go to white cross training only (where I normally train color neutral). Slowly my times got worse. I figured that must have been a fluke. Well, the few days before the event I think I must have done at least 1000 solves. My times where no where near 26 seconds.. I had actually lost all my cubing skills. Lookahead was back to 0%. On the compettion day I had great fun racing against HCFONG and KATTENVRIENDIN and two other guys. My times where actually getting better again with a few sub 25 but most around 29 seconds.. At the time the 3 X 3 even started I was not nervous at all, but as expected I had no look ahead and in almost all solves I messed up the (newly learned) OLL's.. resulting in awefull times. Fortunatly on 2 X 2 and 4 X 4 I did great.. The results are not up yet but if I remember correctly I had:
3 X 3: a sub 30 single and 33 average
2 X 2: a sub 9 single and 13 average
4 X 4: a sub 3 minute single and 3 and a half minute average
Pyra: a 25 seconds single (and no clue about average)
So, it could have been a lot worse. I am very pleased with the results.
And yep, that was him.
guess I'll have to go up there then to see you, at least to visit the Netherlands, because mixing Holidays with a comp with my girlfriend seems very unlikely
