No, thank you. T'was a pleasure to meet you!

-The drive from Guildford to Manchester took about 7 hours when it should have only taken about 4 or 5 I think?
-I only got about 5 hours of sleep in total for the whole weekend but I still managed to break some pbs and do sorta well in some events?
-I broke the 6x6x6 single NR by 0.03 seconds and Sameer broke the 7x7x7 single NR by 0.03 seconds too?
-The venue is like a cross between the regular Guildford venue and the Oxford venue.
-Jialin just can't seem to get a sub 1 feet single but makes up for it with his first sub 10 in 3x3x3: 6.92...
-Simon continued his streak of 2 decent solves, 1 ok, 2 rubbish => not sq1 ER average.
-There was a 0.04 range between 2nd and 4th place in clock.
-There was a nasty smell in Zak's living room, where I was trying to sleep. I only found out what it was on the sunday morning. After Saturday night we weren't sure if it was Zak's dog or Thom
-Laurence contaminated the competition with his chessery again?
-Nevins is back? Woo.
-Zak won 3BLD with a nice 1:01 success.
-I didn't win 3x3x3 but this was my best opportunity since Breandan and Alex weren't there? Oh well
Despite it being his first competition that he has organized, I think Zak has done a brilliant job. I'm more happy with that than his 1:01 3BLD single

I'm surprised I only went from 26 to 23 considering I set 7 PBs that affected Kinchranks. I suppose a lot of other people moved up too though, and both the 6/7 NR was set at the same comp I broke my own 6/7 PB mo3
