I’m back! Back in Germany! I’ve been in Netherlands with some of my friends. We were participants of the Dutch Open 2011. My first official competition :) I was so excited for this event, started shaking days before. I realised that shaking is pretty bad for speedcubing, particularly not for new best times. As you can see on the pictures below this post, our hotel had speedcube-friendly floors! Amazing haha :D
We arrived at about 10pm in our hotel room, 10/28/2011. The whole competition started on 10/29/2011 at about 9am, so we had to get up early. This was quite difficult because we practised till 2am! On Saturday (10/29/2011) I had only one competition: 2x2x2. Unfortunately I’ve no videos of these solves :( Next time I’ll try to record more solves.
12.33, 16.83, 14.31, 15.90, 16.46 (Avg 3/5: 15.56)
I’m not that happy about these times. My practise times were all a lot better. Between 5-12 seconds. Next time I’ll beat myself again anyway :)
One of my friends solved 12/12 cubes in one streak BLINDFOLDED at this day!! Amazing!
On Sunday (10/30/2011) was my big day. My first official 3x3x3 competition. I was so damn excited and shaking all the time as you can see in the following video. Here are my 3x3x3 solves:
My 3x3x3 times: DNF, 24.11, 37.93, 29.46, 36.09 (Avg 3/5: 34.49)
This one damn DNF! I’ve done a mistakeat the last algorythm, so I stopped… I guess I’ll be better next time :)
Next time I will participate in more categories. 2x2x2, 3x3x3, 3x3x3 one-handed, megaminx, pyraminx and magic hopefully :) Today I ordered a new pyraminx and some other stuff. I’ll post a picture of all the new stuff when it’s here.
I’m looking forward to the next competition. Most likely in January 2012 in Aachen, Germany.
