The Jeanne and Cathy performance was quite dominating. That's a huge difference in time compared to any other event. I can understand why they wouldn't want to compete against each other, but one of them should have signed up for the singles event this year, then swap the next year.

True, but a big part of their incredible time in the pairs is probably their communication, so they likely aren't quite as dominating individually.

Congratulations, Karen and Katie!!! That is so amazing how well you did in both competitions! Don't take the disaster too roughly - the same logic of 'what if/how many seconds would I have saved' could apply to every other movement and thought over the entire duration, but that's not fair to yourself or realistic. The actual time you put in toward the results you got IS the best time you could've had, and that earned you an awesome trophy! Thank you for covering this competition, and I look forward to the next time you participate!

Congrats! I did a puzzle competition once and got second place as well! The one I did was a little different. I was part of a team of three and we completed a 500 piece puzzle. The puzzle image was kept hidden until 30 minutes in. So instead of lots of "Yeah!" or "No!" at the start of the competition when people see the image there was a wave of "Ohhhhh, that's what that is!" at the 30 minute mark! It made for a really fun competition and everything came together very quickly after the puzzle image was revealed.
