Yesterday I rolled (even more ) my PB Ao100. Got it down to 19.59, ended it with a 13.70 single (PLL skip) and called it a day.
A lot of improvement, taking into account that my previous Ao100 before yesterday was 19.96.
Yeah, I know that the 1st time in the Ao100 is a 21 but, after being so happy with my 13.70 I tried to keep rolling, got nervous and did a high 21.
I don't think I will beat this Ao100 in a long time. And there's just one PLL skip in the whole avg.

I stopped the session because my stackmat's battery died lol

Just 90, my main problem being that I don't know the correct spelling for most countries in English

Oh my!!! Very VERY lucky Ao5 and PB by more than a second!!! (previous, from yesterday, was 17.25, previous to that was 17.46)

I was so mad with my 1st solve because it should have been sub-14 and full-step PB but I kind of failed an H-perm ending up 0.05 short of my PB. So I miserably failed the following solve (F2L pair in wrong slot, failed PLL..., well, the time speaks by itself I think). I tried to focus again and got a so-so 18.07 and then... 2 PLL skips in a row!!!

Almost got it on camera. Battery died out :/ Ah well.

After I got my first sub 10 avg12 I had planned to quit cubing. And yet here I am... I guess I'm going to have to aim for sub 8 now.

You mean "aim for sub 8" in order to achieve it and then quit cubing? Why? Don't you enjoy it any more? If you plan on quitting then you should aim for sub 6

Well, I just think that trying to break barriers is really frustrating and exhausting, and I don't see how being sub 6 instead of sub 8 is going to make a huge difference to my life. I'd prefer to be happy with where I am than to be stuck in an endless cycle of reaching for a goal, and then being dissatisfied when I reach it.

Of course this is what I thought after I got sub 10, and despite telling myself that I was happy with where I was, I've inexplicably managed to keep on improving. So I really don't know what's going to happen in the end.

Im getting my speed back. None of it is PB except I think the ao12 and maybe ao5...

Sorry, I tried to make a joke but failed. I intended to say: aim for sub-6 Ao12 because it looked like an impossible goal so you wouldn't quit cubing but, of course you should just do what you want. If you keep cubing we will enjoy your presence in this forum, if you quit we will say farewell ;-)

yeah, i only got 2.3tps on it
i did 1-flip too, of course.

Oh lol. That went completely over my head.

Judging by your sig neither is a pb, are you still just using advanced?
