Rusty on 2x2, but still got a PB3 ao5 that in some ways is better than my 1.40 PB (slightly more complex solutions, no 3.89 solves)

Mains, Goals, and Averages for Cubing At Carson 2024:

For the goals, these are benchmark goals, or “floor” goals, which are goals that are easy enough that I should get them if I have even OK solves. That way, I don’t stress too much if I don’t get my ceiling goals.

For the mains, these are the cubes I expect to use and why.

3x3:
Main: XMD Tornado V3 Flagship (works well, fast, and strong magnets, which I suspect will benefit me more in a competition setting)
Goal: Sub 15 average
Average: High 10-Low 11
2x2:
Main: GAN 251 M Pro (I’m not using my trusty Dayan v1 M, unfortunately)
Goal: Sub 3 average or faster
Average: Solidly 2.2 and under
4x4: MGC (Only one I have)
Average: 46.0-46.5 seconds
Goal: Sub @NebraskanSpeedsolver (Can’t have him beat me in all big cubes)
Square-One: MGC (only one I have)
Average: 20.5-21s
Goal: Sub 25s average, PR single
And Finally…
Clonk: GAN Enhanced 927M UV Maglev Coated Special Edition
Goal: PR Average, sub @Discomantis single (he and I have same PR single)
Average: 8 seconds

10.5 on 3x3
39.5 on 4x4

20s on clock (yes, I can do this event lol)
55s on mega (yeah probably no, we could do a race to sub-x for both of us tho)
10s on pyra
I don't do skewb, nor do I have one lol
25s on squan
2:30 on bld
30s on oh (I'm bad at OH lol)

I get that you want floor goals, but I feel like a sub 15 average for somebody averaging 10-11 is a little extreme, the idea might backfire.

I stink at 3x3 at comp by not starting the timer. I don’t want too pressure. I think my system will work. We can see how this works by Sunday. If it makes you happy, I can change it to sub 14

Good day

Sub 20 ao25 is a good sign for me with comp heading up
 
Did, good all around today, not great, but aside from 4x4, I think I performed well. Most importantly, I had fun meeting and hanging with forementioned @Sombi McJunior, who is very fun to be around, and made today very fun and less stressful
