Hi, Raúl from Spain (at last)

[lcsbiffi]

Wow, congratulations, you got better times than me in my first competition. I was too nervous and wasn't able yo control the cube properly

I was there the whole morning getting used to comps without competing in any events, I also had Pyra and 2x2x2 before 3x3x3 which also helped. I was a bit nervous on my first solve but ok in the rest.

My expectations were quite low (I was aiming just to sub-40) which also helped me not to feel any pressure.

When do you have your next comp?

anyway, I finally have WCA Profile!

My first competition was even worse. My cubed popped twice and I did even worse than you, moralsh, and MarcelP. But yeah, it was partly due to the loose tension and I've gotten over it.

I don't know, the other competitions are either on the countryside our in another state, I'm waiting for something closer.

Single, Ao12 and Ao50 are PBs, The last solves almost Ruin my sub 30

 

[MarcelP]

Wow, 18.82... You are truely getting fast Nice times man! Have you been practicing a lot lately for the competition?

 

[moralsh]

Don't look at my unmeaningful single, look how I remain 3 seconds slower than you , I'm more proud of my 19.88 full step than of my 18.82 PLL skip , but a PB is a PB

Yes, I practiced more than usual but not as much as I wanted to, I did a couple of days before the comp another Ao50 and it was almost a second slower!

 

[moralsh]

Some updates:

2x2x2: I've destroyed all my PBs:
Single: 3.90
Mean of 3: 5.71
Average of 5: 7.78
Average of 12: 9.41
Mean of 10: 12.68

yesterday I had like only 4-5 sub 10 ever, and today I've had more than 20. It's like something changed and lookahead is starting to come easy. I feel that sub-8 is about the same as sub-30 in 3x3x3, easy to achieve even for slow turners like me, just with some patience.

3BLD

Switched to M2 for edges my execution is way better but my problem is memorization, I'm going to focus on that for a couple of months or whatever takes to sub 1 minute memo, I'm trying to use letter pairs but I end doing a lot of audio

3x3x3

training color neutral finishing my blue cross week to honor Mats Valk I feel like I'm improving overall but whenever a time myself on anything other than white cross I average like 35, I guess I need more practice
