I forgot to practice 2x2 and I messed up every single solve. On one I forgot to inspect, on another I messed up a Y-perm, on another I did the wrong CLL, on the 1.50 I took a long time to recognize a skip, and the other one had a 2-3 second lockup. Also, bad judge, first event of the day, cold, and pressure from all of my fans to break WR single (I didn't.) Too bad because I actually had a good chance of getting finals if I had gotten what I average.
3x3 was a mess. I did get better results in the second round but the last two solves were trash, probably nerves.
For 4x4 I wasn't expecting much but I did get a somewhat decent average. I almost got a good average, but I messed up PP which probably cost me at least five seconds. Also, I used Yau. pretty nice considered I switch a day or two ago.
5x5 went nice, I got an overall PB single by two seconds. The average was decent but could have been better. I did too many solves during warm up and somehow, I missed my group and didn't realize until right before the next group. On top of that when I (and another competitor who was sitting at my table that also missed it) went up to clear up confusion I had to solve his 5x5 which was scrambled (because I was faster than him). Luckily, we were still allowed to compete but by the fourth solve I was burnt out.
I can't really complain about OH. I could have done better on the last solve but I'm still pleased considering it was the only event I thought I would fail to meet my goal at, but somehow exceeded it. (5x5 doesn't count because I had no idea what to expect.)
Overall, I had a great time and gave some cubes away as well as mentally forcing Hassan to get a PLL skip in finals.
. I optimized a lot during the creation of this so I'm not comfortable using all of them.
