bencrush Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Failed all 3 attempts. 1st) Off by 1/8". Totally didn't expect to be that far off. Knew that it was extremely unlikely that I would close the MM3 but I rested and gave it to more attempts in the 15-minute time limit. 2nd) Off by 1/16". Little better. 3rd) Off by 1mm. I knew it wasn't closed but when I reviewed the video it was closer than I thought I had gotten it. Was I "on" last night when I did my attempts? No, but I sure wasn't off my recent form by too much. But apparently that's not good enough yet so I'll train up and try it again in a few months and I don't want there to be any question on whether the handles smack together when I finally beat the MM3. MM3 vs Me: 2 to 0 Will pack it up and ship it back on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
