Gonna work on BLD for the next few months whenever I have the time
Improve my comms
Minimise pauses (4BLD especially)
Do a lot of sighted solves
Do a lot of untimed solves for 4BLD centers

Gonna focus on other events as well since I don't have any comps with big BLD :/ I have a comp in about a month though

Goals for the holidays:
OH: improve my algs, lookahead and turning + do at least 25 solves a day
5x5: turn slower, force myself to lookahead, an avg12 a day
Megaminx: an avg12 a day
Sq-1: Do some untimed solves, not gonna focus too much on this
Do a decent amount of any form of BLD everyday + finish learning 3 style edges and wings (I'm almost there!)

Might not be able to do each of this everyday, but I'll try

I have two competitions in June, so I might as well set combined goals for both.

3x3: Only sub-20 averages. Make the final in Johannesburg (could be difficult... kids are suddenly getting fast)
Hahaha... 5 rounds and only 2 sub-20 averages. I did make finals at both comps though, and got a very unexpected PB single.
5x5: Sub 3:00 average.
Easily. Turns out that without practicing, I'm somehow 30 seconds faster than I thought I was.
OH: Sub 30 average (global average is around 32 at the moment)
Disappointed. Didn't even get a single sub 30 solve despite getting a sub 30 Ao50 and my first sub 20 at home the night before.
2x2 and pyraminx: Stop competing in events I don't care about.
Success! Kind of. Didn't compete but scrambled most rounds.
Also keep up my PB streak by getting PBs in something in both comps.
Somehow yes. 11 comps and counting...

Goals for Berlin Summer Cube Days 2016:

2x2: sub5 (nope, but almost (5.18) and nice single (2.85))
3x3: sub17 (nope, not even close, but 14.07 single)
4x4: sub1:40 ( :) and nice 1:22.51 single)
5x5: sub6:00 (2x parity + time limit = DNF)
OH: sub29 (nope, but nice 25.43 single and various people told me my turning style is awesome oO)
Pyra: sub8 (I hate Pyra)
BLD: sub6:00, no DNF (nope but I got my overall pb with 4:23.90, so sad it was a DNF due to the cumulative time limit)
MBLD: 2/2 (will be my first attempt ever in the comp :D) (0/2, but only execution mistakes)
FMC: PB, no DNF (DNF)

Reach finals somewhere. ( :D in 3x3, 2x2, 4x4, Pyra and OH)

I also think that on both days I got at least a total of ten +2s. It was the worst comp ever for so far.
