Was just gonna do some relaxed 3x3 solving while cooking food today but accidently got a new ao5 PB with 21.60. :) The solves were like 21, 29, 22, 20 and 20. Didn't have a single skip in the average, just easy crosses, easy F2L and good solving.

Have been practicing more 3x3 in the last few days and finally it feels like I have improved at this event as well. Got ao100 down to 27.82, which is almost a second better than it was a week ago.

Got my first ever sub-4 om Megaminx today with a 3:56.99. I have also reached 80 total solves and improved my best ao5 to 4:31.20 and ao12 to 4:52.00. It's a lot more fun to practice a new event once you have stopped doing stupid mistakes in every solve, but still feel like you're getting...

Did another online competition at cubik.fi today. Today's program was 3x3, 2x2 and Pyraminx, but work-related stuff in the evening made it impossible for me to take part in all of them and I choose to prioritize 3x3. For the first round I was arriving really late, when I got into the site it was...

Watched PSL Las Vegas while doing quite a lot of 4x4 solves this morning. Was solving really well and finally I got that lucky solve with no parity and PLL-skip resulting in a new single PB at 1:18.68. Also lowered ao12 and ao100 somewhat to 1:36.43 and 1:44.82 respectively.

Reached 70 Megaminx solve today and got a new single PB with 4:08.96. Also improved on my best ao5 to 5:01.55. Pretty solid, but not fast, on last layer now and I'm also getting better at finding pieces and forming pairs. I really should try to get a a better grip and finger tricks on the...

Most of my 5x5 solves now land around 3:30 or so. Got ao100 down to sub 3:40 already yesterday and now it's at 3:39.37. On the other hand practicing big cubes have made my 3x3 solving slip a bit. I have problems remembering algs sometimes. Most recently F-perm was completely gone from my mind...

Finally got that second 5x5 sub-3 solve with a 2:56. With a few other low-3:s I also lowered ao5 to 3:09.05, ao12 to 3:21.21 and ao100 to 3:41.51.

Practiced quite a lot of 4x4 and 5x5 over the weekend. Improved my best 4x4 ao100 to 1:46.21. For 5x5 I got a new ao12 PB at 3:29.11. Ao100 is also steadily going down. Now at 3:43.69. Still waiting for a really good single on 4x4 and another sub-3 on 5x5 though.

Also did som Megaminx today (see picture) and reached 50 total solves. Being sub-6 is generally not a problem anymore. Still lots of room for improvement on these solves though.

Finally got some more sub-1:30 solves on 4x4 today. Had several lucky solves in a row and improved all my records except single. Ao100 best is now 1:48.60, ao12 is 1:36.57 and ao5 all the way down to 1:26.95. I feel like that first sub-1:20 solve is long overdue and could come anytime. Even...

Was just gonna do one 5x5 solve during lunch break today, but then it went so well I had to do som more. Ended up with a new ao5 PB at 3:17.07. In general, I solve much better during day time than late at night when I'm tired.

Did more 4x4 solves today and got ao100 down to 1:49.62. Also improved slightly on ao5 in the process, but only to 1:35.55. Many of my solves were in the 1:30-1:40 range today, but not a single sub-1:30. I'm definitely more consistent in my solving now, but I'm still waiting for that lucky...

Slowly improving my ao100:s for both 4x4 and 5x5. 4x4 now at 1:51.68 and 5x5 at 3:49.65.

Didn't stop grinding 5x5 and finally got that sub-3 single. And by a huge margin: New PB 2:46.68.
