This time I got 34th place at my 10th Estonian Championships. Unfortunately, this is my (nearly) lowest place so far, but unfortunately I had serious problems getting there, which of course didn't work out well. And the competition was also very tough this time, probably one of the strongest I've ever competed in. 
My form wasn't exactly my best ever, but it wasn't the worst either, and I managed to improve it significantly in the last couple of weeks before the Estonian Championships.
I already congratulated TiiTu -- a 12th championship title is great -- but my congratulations also to Tiidukes for 2nd place and Parkstooli for 3rd place!
