Comp nerves are way harder to deal with on 2x2 and 3x3 than on big cubes?
I failed 3x3 second round?
Ben got consecutive 7s in the second round and was really pumped?
Then he got a 15 on the last solve of that round?
Oh well?
Justin won 3x3 finals?
He's the guy who started the accomplishment thread?
I finished second in 5x5?
I got a sub 1:24 single?
It was 1:23.999?
I got a 1:32.05 average?
Luke beat me?
By 12 seconds?
He got 1:20.00?
I was sad he didn't get sub 1:20?
There was a scrambler there who didn't realize the number of solves people had done corresponded to which scramble you gave them?
At the beginning of OH, when everybody should have been given the first scramble, he gave the second cube he scrambled the second scramble, and the third one the third scramble, and etc, even though ALL OF THOSE CUBES NEEDED THE FIRST SCRAMBLE?
Then he asked me what to do when you ran out of scrambles?
I died inside?
I got the same scramble twice in the first round of 3x3?
I wonder whose fault that was? /s
The delegate gave me an extra solve because of that?
The extra solve was my worst solve in either round of 3x3?
Brandon Mikel doesn't think he'll attempt a 2-7 BLD relay again anytime soon?
I got a 46 second 4x4 single, so yay?
Trenton and I raced a lot?
He hadn't cubed at all for 3 months before this?
He still got a good average in finals?
When I printed out directions from the bus stop to the venue, I forgot to tell google maps that I was walking, rather than driving?
So it made me walk on a freeway?
I walked past several signs that said "no pedestrians from this point on?"
I felt like a moron?
But I didn't get run over?
I made a friend on the three hour bus ride home?
She's really funny?
I was exhausted after the competition?
I got up at 4:00 AM for it?
It was totally worth the trip?
We should do this again soon.

... Fitting 300 people into Guardian Games is easy?
... Making room for them to walk around is not?
... If you put blue tape on the floor, all of a sudden it's easy again?
... That it took 4 hours to figure that out?
... Justin had to do his final solves really fast so he could catch his bus?
... That's probably how he won?
... He wasn't there to recieve his certificates?
... That I got 4th place in 5x5?
... Ian got 2nd?
... He wasn't even sure if he could make it to the comp?
... And nearly got hit by freeway traffic on the way there?
... That I'm glad he made it because I thought it'd be weird if I placed in anything?
... Pavan probably traveled the farthest to be here?
... He only participated in 2 events?
... He placed in both of them? Winning OH by more than 2 seconds?
... Luke has the fastest 5x5 Hoya average in America now?
... Aaron's gunnin' for 'im?
... That it's gonna be a showdown?
... The Taco Truck guy had his work cut out for him?
... So did the janitor of Guardian Games?
... The rest of the staff thought the day went really well?
... As long as you forget all about the first hour?
... We were behind schedule after 3x3 by 20 minutes?
... We were ahead of schedule after 2x2 by 15 minutes?
... The day goes much better if you train 8 of your friends to be judges all day?
... That I wish that could work for scramblers too?
... That 300 people were all extremely nice, very courteous, and completely cool?
... It'll probably happen again sometime?
... That I can't wait?

- This was my first comp in almost 3 years
- I didn't think I'd be nervous at all
- I failed my first round of 3x3 pretty bad
- I was very relieved to make it to round two and redeem myself
- After my best 5x5 solve I stood up and cleared the timer before the judge wrote all of the digits
- Luckily Dave Wing was standing there videoing
- Dave did not respond to "moo"
- The venue had a bar, but would not serve me due to my expired license
- I need to renew my license
- Amy Tycksen did all of the data entry cause she's awesome
- Her nails were rubik's themed
- I thought I might not touch a cube for a few days after
- Turns out I'm practicing megaminx now
- Every time I log onto speedsolving I have to renew my password

-It was awesome.
-I think we should do this a few times a year...
-Judging was almost as fun at solving.
-I should have used my other Aolong
-It was still awesome for my first comp
-That was my black Honda with the lights on...
-Found a Guardians Games employee with jumper cables
-It was on channel 2 news, my coworkers saw me as did my boss at school.
-Lets do this again soon. Rose City Summer 2015 anyone?
