I always read your log and follow your training and there was 2 things I thought could be an issue that I feel was the case.
Firstly, you was training on a metal log and doing your pacing off that plus not holding your lockouts often enough. Basically, you were strong enough (and stronger than ever) in terms of your pressing muscles and your fitness was most likely better than everybody else, but your pace was too fast for your ability on the wooden log because its a bit more difficult and the balance can be off. That and how you were not holding your lockouts enough when practicing caused the wobbles etc you also look very tight overhead which obviously makes the lockout a lot more difficult, if you address that I think you would put up huge numbers.
The other thing was that you had lost the ability to grind reps out on the deadlift / didn't have the strength once your fast twitch fibres and speed burnt out. Your form looked f**king awesome and you were more powerful than ever but with that kind of weight (one everyone can lift its just a question of how many times) it comes down the ability to grind out a few more reps so I feel that was missing in your training.
Otherwise, sounds like it was just mental things rather than physical. You can't let what happens with the guy before you or what happened last year impact your event. All that matters is your own ability. You should have been confident in your fitness to finish the medley at a high pace and put your foot down and attack the frame because of your training and how it went really well (if your worried about the balance, do a pick before the start, that weight is really not heavy for you). You can't afford to be cautious going against those kind of guys, everyone can be within 1-2 seconds on the frame etc
Obviously not the placing you wanted but it was really little things and mental things you can easily fix and for sure you was physically stronger and better than ever / it definitely wasn't a bad performance just lot of good performances and high level stuff so little things get amplified in that company.
Hope you don't mind me chipping in, just giving my two cents dude.
