Hmm. Solid improvement. Sometimes a break can do you good!So I haven't updated this thread in 3 weeks because I haven't really done any solves in the last 3 weeks.
You know, because of school.
I've done a little 3x3 solving in between, and I've competed in the ZZ Method Solvers Discord Weekly Competition so there's a tiny margin of maintenance, but I've only done about 300 OH solves this month.
I did some solves yesterday night. 9.9 3x3 ao100 which is nice. I'm a little surprised that I'm not getting any slower for not solving, but it is cool to stay sub 10. I also haven't completed an ao1k yet, so by some formal definitions I'm not sub10 yet, but I don't think that will be a real issue as long as I can just knock out solves over the next week.
Anyway, I really haven't done much OH solving at all since something like July. August was the 10k attempt, and while I only got in a little over 6k that was huge in terms of improvement As of July, I hadn't been doing that much OH and was struggling to get sub 15.
I know that I've done a couple hundred solves that have been sub 14, but that's not something that's sunken in yet; I haven't really internalized that every time I get a 13 its not just a lucky solve. I just got four 12s in the span of 5 solves-- the ao5 was about 0.8 away from my PB but what surprised me wasn't that it was fast, but how natural they were and I didn't notice them until like 10 solves later. They seemed pretty natural -- nothing about the solve seemed particularly fast or efficient, but that's how most of my solves are now.
School is going as well as it can; running is good enough so far. I'm hoping to be able to incorporate a daily ao50 into my schedule so that I can start grinding out PBs. Can't break an ao100 if I'm not doing solves to track that ao100, even if I'm fast enough :/
PBs from the session:
13.60 ao100 -- almost what my previous ao50 was
13.32 ao50
12.99 ao25 -- sub 13!!
12.80 ao12 -- 1.0 slower than my ao5
I was talking about the fast rouxersPS: im a rouxer
ah you got me hahaI was talking about the fast rouxers
Good lũckyi want a record
unfortunately, among other things, i live in the us
this is unfortunate both because setting records is hard and also for other reasons
all of the events for which i have any sort of aptitude are all occupied by countrymen of the highest caliber:
3x3 - max is a 3x3 god
megaminx - nicholas is a mega god
feet - daniel is a feet god
fmc - cale is an fmc god
bld - lmaooo (stanely is a bld deity)
well, that is except of course oh
like there are so few fast people
literally only 20 ppl are sub11, and not even 75 ppl are sub12
ofc max and patrick are good but cmon. they're not that good
so i know for sure ill be able to get world class ez
the only question is if i can get to low9 and get an official result at that speed before anto and iuri and other rouxers compete again
and ive got a lot of work to do bc im like barely mid 14 and everyone else is already low9 but covid is gonna hang around for a few more months at the very least, preventing most comps, so if i can drop a second each month then i should be good
unfortunately i also start uni again soon so ill have to be really deliberate with my practice as well
wheres your WCA profile?
It's linked in my profile card.wheres your WCA profile?
Yeah, I've sorta resigned myself to that by now. If I had been able to practice a ton last year and get to 10 then I would have a shot, but as is I have too much work to which leaves too much room for the rouxers to get WR. I should still have a shot an NAR or a world's podium if I can get to that sub 10 sweet spot and stay there long enough for a WC to come along.Nah man we're gonna get it first.
