[NR] UK - 12.13 OH average - Louis de Mendonça

[TDM]

A great average for me! Some very close timer stops, but the delegate checked the worst one (solve 4) and said it was okay. Looking at the footage now, I definitely released the puzzle before stopping the timer on every attempt, but it was very close sometimes. I'll be more careful in the future.

I've been very busy lately, but I've just added reconstructions to the post.

Thank you! They are, there's a huge number of people between 11 and 12.

Mostly awesome, if you ignore the counting solve which was 73 ETM It definitely feels good to finally get an NR. I remember setting myself a goal in the goals thread in my first year on these forums to get an NR in the next five years, back when 2018 seemed so far away. Five years later, I actually achieved it! And then to break it again by so much was even better. I'm really happy with this average, even though I know it'll be a long time before I'm able to beat it again.
