@Caleb Valenzuela, Yooooo, congrats on the 8.65 PR average on the finals and on your first podium
Also, my predictions where SO CLOSE, PR single was 0.2 off my predictions and PR average was 0.04 off my prediction

Fast Turns Only in Cebu 2024 Conclusion:
2x2:
First round: a counting 3.08, 3.24 and a 2.88, plus 2
if I didn’t plus two it probably would have been low 3
Finals: 5.31 average because DNF and a 9 second solve lol could have podiumed. Got PR single of 2.25 beating my previous single by 0.25
3x3 OH:
First round: garbage average of 20.83. Could not lookahead because skill issue and I tried D moves for keyhole but the didn’t go so well.
Finals: There was really supposed to be no finals but since we were ahead of schedule, the organizers decided to add finals, which I am glad they did. I got a PR single of 14.89 and a PR average of 16.60! Which destroys my previous PR by over 2 seconds!
3x3:
First round: bro I was tense I don’t know why I just was the “don’t think, just solve” wasn’t working out so well for me. 10.20 average of five and an 8.92 single. The GAN 12 doesn’t like tense turning styles.
Second round: 9.86 average, and one the highlights of this comp, the 6.49 PR single which places me 45th in the Philippines! But then I got 3 tens because my hands were shaking
Finals: a 7.91 single and an 8.65 PR average which places me 71st to 70 in the Philippines!(not sure there is no average between 8.62 and 8.72)
Conclusion: I cooked at this comp. 5 PRs, and my first podium which was in 3x3. I got some posters of the SSL also. Thanks for all the support guys!

I already voted on the poll.please vote in the poll if you haven’t already because I might be learning ZBLL and winter variation and roux at the same time which means brain overload
