I did them all!! Except sub20 (still have a month to do it)...I found out the hard way that switching to CN isn't the best way to go for sub20. But now that I am CN. It should be easier overall. It's really nice having easy crosses.

Also as I was working on CN I noticed I wasn't using the most efficient F2L intuitive "algs." So I am working on that which also bumped up a time just a little bit.

I think all the stuff I did was really worth it. I made some huge improvements in my opinion even though I "got a little worse/slower."

I am really making progress with looking ahead though. I keep finding drills and practice methods to try to get better.

But with that said I'm gonna set some more goals in a couple of days and post them...

Date passed, and my results...:

Got a couple of sub 14 3x3 average of 12's, and a 14.46 avg of 100 so that's pretty much sub 14. (I also got a sub 14 avg in comp)
4x4 Sub 1:10: I don't average sub 1:10, but I got 1 avg 5 there, and 1 sub 1 single.
5x5 Didn't really practice except for the weekly comp.
3BLD - I don't average sub 2 min, but I got like 4 sub 2's.
4 BLD success - Didn't work on it.

NEW GOALS, deadline: March 17th (Berkeley Spring)
3x3: in comp: sub 13 average, regular: sub 14 average of 100, sub 13 average of 12, sub 11 average of 5, 8.xx single
4x4: in comp: sub 1 average, sub 1 average of ...?
5x5: sub 2 single, depends if I practice
6x6: in comp: sub 5 maybe, depends if I practice
4BLD: success, I might not get around to practicing it
Multi BLD: 3/3 under 30 min
Sq 1: in comp: Sub 45

Edit 3/4: Achieved sub 14 ao100 and sub 13 ao12, make that sub 13.5 ao100 and sub 12.5 ao12. And I got a 7.93 single somehow, maybe another? :p
Click to expand...

Okay, the date passed today with the competition, and my results:
3x3: I couldn't get an 8.xx single, only a 7 that I mentioned. I did get a sub 12.5 ao12, but no sub 13.5 ao100, only 13.82.
4x4: Didn't practice too much, but I did get a sub 1 single in comp which really surprised me.
5x5: Really close, but not yet, sub 2.
6x6: Yep, got sub 5 in comp.
4BLD: didn't practice at all
MBLD: didn't get to attempt 3 cubes
Sq-1: Sub 1 min, good enough

New goals, deadline: April 23rd (random date, a bit more than a month)
3x3: Sub 13 ao100, sub 12 avg 12, sub 11 average of 5. 15 sub 10 singles.
4x4: Average sub 1
5x5: Average sub 2
These might be the only events that I actually practice practice... So I can concentrate and improve more.

Edit: @Sahid Velji: Yeah, that is a little redundant, but oh well.

Okay, the date is here...
3x3: got a 13.22 ao100, 11.74 ao12, but not sub 11 ao5, only 11.00. I probably got around 10 sub 10 singles.
4x4: not yet, I average 1:05
5x5: not yet, I average like 2:10

New goals:
Due date: May 6th (Stanford Spring)
3x3 - sub 13 ao100, sub 11.5 ao12, sub 11 ao5, 8.xx single, 10 sub 10 singles
4x4- average sub 1
5x5 - average sub 2
BLD - average sub 2
Pyraminx - might try and get sub 10, but we'll see
 
- Learn full OLL by Monday April 30 2012 (I have 11 left as of Monday April 23 2012)
- Get at least 2 sub 20 AO12s by May 23 (1 month) (non-subsequent). Basically I want to average sub 20, but kind of hard to quantify, thus the more specific goal. (Current average is about 24s)
- I also want to improve at 4x4 but can't really state a specific goal at the present because my current cube is terrible and the new one I ordered isn't here yet, so my current average of about 3-3:0min is probably not very accurate and will be broken immediately upon receiving my new cube. Perhaps I will update this shortly after my new cube arrives.

EDIT:I have finished learning all the OLLs, although recognition and recollection still need some work
