...the result turned out to be rather weak. There will be a one-day gap behind the leaders...

I understand that for you, any result that isn't first place is considered "weak"? ;) Being only one day behind the leader is a good achievement, in my opinion...

From experience - in one of the HP tournaments, I managed to complete an XL map with a dungeon in two days... It took about 50 hours of real time because the tournament was very important - a continental championship. It was funny to find out that six out of eight participants had a result of one day... :) You live and learn, but nevertheless, it never occurred to me to consider my playthrough "weak," even though I was one day behind the leaders...
