It was great meeting some fellow cubers. I realized that it was my first time cubing with other people so I really felt the pressure at the start (hence the 45....). But soon after that I calmed down and almost reached my regular home average. I think racing against people a little better than me helped me speed up and I got a lot of 21s solves, a few sub 20s' and even two 18s solves.
I wasn't expecting so many requests to buy cubes. I really should have bought a lot of Edisons to sell. If you guys are interested in Tribox stickers, I might be able to send some surface mail to Australia really cheaply. I'll check it out.
Anyway, today I practiced solving with other people watching so I think I'll be able to handle the pressure of the Japan open this year.
Seriously considering getting a ticket and coming to the Australian nationals.
