First win at a major and first major podium since clock 2nd place at US nats 2019 7 years ago!
Solve 1 could have definitly been better, I'm especially proud of solve 2 as that is a particularly hard solution to find and I don't think I could have done better, and I'm glad I didn't miss the 18 on 3.

Very funny mean, I thought I had no chance of podium after starting with 24 25, and even more so after the 18 spawned in on attempt 3. I'm kind of annoyed that I threw an 18 with the other two terrible attempts, but I'm very happy to complete the set of national/continental/world podiums in FMC :P

at-home attempts shortly after each scramble was posted. 'if I was there would this be what I got'? eh, 23 and 18 on A2 & A3 seemed quite simple but 21 A1 not so much. out from a flight and under a lot of nerves so early? i might've missed the pure 6c6e case, but the finish is easy. either way i don't really mind.
this was certainly a more skill-based scramble set than FMC Worlds and moreso what i'd like to see at a majors. have the title feel a little more 'earned'

26, 24, 25 = 25.00 PR2 mean! Nice consistent mean just before NAC. My only goal for this comp was to not DNF and I safely submitted with 15-20 mins left each time. For NAC I plan to do the same strategy but spend the whole hour checking every 4 move EO in case there's a 19 or two...
