Well, this is a bit embarrassing. If you haven't noticed already, I got... a DNF (did not finish) average. Yikes! I was so nervous during my 4th and 5th solves that I completely forgot to properly start the timer each time. I took it pretty well but couldn't help but feel bummed out the rest of the day. Let's just move on.

mural
good times
scheduling conflict
Once again, I went to this competition with my friend [Adrian](https://bithole.dev). We spent the morning helping build a Rubik's cube mural.

Now, the competition. I was pretty satisfied with my first round and qualified for the second round, but Adrian was just two spots away from qualifying D: .

After we got lost in an IKEA parking lot, I came back from lunch for round two. I can't say I share the same satisfaction with my performance towards the end. For context, my times going into the fifth solve were: 14, 12, 11, and 12. I was on pace for a sub 12 average, which would have been an insane jump from the my previous personal best average of 14.41! After I ending the fifth solve with a Jb perm, the timer read 12 seconds! You could probably guess that it was a plus two.

Adrian took a video of this solve. In the video, when I saw the plus two, you could visibly see how disappointed I was. The video was really funny; I shook my head and gave the most debilitating frown.

I still qualified for the next round, but tragically, I couldn't attend the semi-finals due to a scheduling conflict. Still, I would be lying if I said I didn't have fun.

covid
forgot to sign up
This the first competition I went to after the COVID-19 pandemic. *Unfortunately*, I only found out about it after the registration window deadline :( . Though, my friend [Adrian](https://bithole.dev) had already independently signed up for it, so I decided to go with him for the fun of it.

That was a good move! It was so refreshing and exciting to get back into cubing and reignite this nerdy hobby of mine. Adrian and I ended up volunteering to judge for an entire hour, and then we had fun exploring the Berkeley landscape during lunch. Most importantly, Max Park was there! We got his autograph, hooray!
