Oxford Open 2014 - May 17/18 (UK comp!)

DYK

- Closest comp PB at 20 miles, (previous PB was 35 miles for UK masters 09)
- I thought I would get 3 PB's on a bad day, and up to 6 on a good day. I got 7!
- Contrary to popular belief, despite the fact that I had 5-6 hours sleep on the Friday, and only 4 on the Saturday, and also despite the fact everyone kept commenting on it, I wasn't actually that tired.
- "This area is quite posh" - lol
- My 6x6x6 time is still ridiculous, but at least I cut a minute off it.
- I tried and failed to get a good tea 4 times over the weekend. 2 were far too milky, 1 came with a split tea bag and one barista had such broken English I simply gave up ordering.
- Despite a cancelled train, I actually made it, see my post above olly.
- I cut 11 seconds off of my 4x4x4 single and 14 off of the average!
- My 3x3x3 average isn't improving as fast as I'd like, but I've set a PB in my past 3 comps so I can't really complain.
- I was planning to organise a comp in Oxford around May-June time, then I saw this thread :P
