Almost forgot about my 2x2 last few weeks, because I'm training 3x3 hard now. But I think I'll soon forgot EG algs if I continue training only 3x3.

I'll just say that anyone with goals slower than sub-10 will be placed in the race to sub-10; it's a very tangible goal for any new 2x2x2 solvers. Also, please don't forget to calculate the mean of your averages, and if you make a reserve post, remember to finish all three of your averages.

Set 1 AO12 video

So close to being all sub 9... Made a fair few mistakes in these, sadly, so the times are stupidly inconsistent :( I broke sub-8 in practise, but just failed when it came to the actual solves... Oh well, gives me something to improve on for next week, at least! Glad to have broken the sub-9 barrier, I think if I keep the practise up I'll be sub-8 relatively quickly :)
