Yeah ik i had 6 dnfs
Im so happy rn
I didnt think i could get sub 23 without really learning anything.
Since my current "main" goal is sub 22.5, i think theres a decent chance that ill achieve that when i finish with LS

 

[That0newe1rdo]

Omg today is so good (compared to yesterday especially)

My ao250 is now 22.725
I just got a sub 14 !!!!!

Edit - Just realised this is less then a second away from my CFOP PB !

A couple of solves later i got PB 5, a 15.021 !

I think at your speed it will be a lot easier to get sub your CFOP times than for most other people! Already less than a second away from CFOP PB is really good!

So, this happened.

Spoiler: :3

ao500 - 21.995

And this

Spoiler: :3

ao250 - 21.329

 

[That0newe1rdo]

Ik most people use their ao100 to determine their average.
But, i think thats too small of a sample size.
However, ao1000 is too much to improve in imo. (Proven imo by how im roughly sub 22.5 after about 1000 solves, might be bias as i started off at about a 1 minute average)

Should i use my ao250, or ao500 ?

 

[That0newe1rdo]

PB ao500, ao250, ao100.

Ao100 = 20.242
Ao250 = 20.991
Ao500 = 21.729

Bruh im so inconsistent
