3x3 - Finally learn OLL then Sub-11 and both NRs
4x4 - Sub 40 improve my NRs
5x5 - Mod one successfully and Sub-1:30
6x6 - Sub-3
7x7 - Sub-4
Mega - Finish learning my last layer algs and Sub 1:20
SQ-1 - Learn how and then Sub 25
Pyra - Actually learn a method and not come last at nats again (even with PB average)
Clock - Relearn and sub-12
Feet - Sub-1 and OcR
OH - Get a better 2H to OH ratio (somewhere in the mid to low 20s)
Skewb - Learn and sub-10
3BLD - Sub 1:10 with 75% success rate
4BLD - Learn and sub-8, official success
5BLD - Learn and Sub-20 at home
Multi - 10 points at home
Attempt to organise a comp in wellington

Non Cubing
-Full license
-Fergs outwards climbing wall arms only
-20 second rope arms only
-Good marks at uni

4x4 catch up to kiwicuber. Even those I'm 30 seconds slower currently.
Feet same as 4x4

Good luck, sub-1 4x4 podium at least at next nats :)
Feet probably depends a lot on my motivation to improve :p

5x5+ - Make top 100 in my country(not that hard when no more than 30 people are registered for the events)

Sounds really difficult with NZ's 22 5x5 , 5 6x6 and 6 7x7 competitors (single not even average).

Hmm... done this already on first day of the year. Next up is sub-3 Ao5 then sub-3 Ao12.

Ok, I guess this year is starting off nicely for 5x5... already done sub-3 Ao5 as well. Maybe I should aim a little higher heh... like sub-2:30? I wasn't expecting this though because before today I didn't have any sub-3... in fact sub-3:30 was good. Then all of a sudden sub-3 isn't so hard?

No big goals from me, I'll be happy if I improve.

Learn full WV
Beat all of my PBs in the events I care about (3x3, OH and all the BLD events)
Hopefully go to Euro 2014 and at least one National Comp.
