Revised goals for Cape Town:
2x2: Make finals - Yes
3x3: A counting sub-18. Make finals. - Yes, and yes, and then got another counting sub-18 in the finals
5x5: Sub 3:00 average. I think I can do it. - Apparently I can't.
3BLD: A sub-5:00 success - No. It's so hard to remember my memo with everyone staring silently. :confused:
MBLD: 2/2 - 0/2... Sooo close though. Just a 3 cycle on one and flipped edge on the other:

Spoiler

Skewb: Sub-7 average, although I don't really care. - No, only a 7.48 average, but 1st place again at least.

Only one PB (5x5 single), but otherwise it was a really fun competition.

5: 2:30 biscuit you suck at organizing
Skewb: 14 12.72 wtf
OH: 48 44.43lol

The official goals may differ from the global goals because a) I get lucky at the event* b) It has multiple rounds, I have a higher chance of achieving it or c) I rarely practice the event so I don't really care what I get

*I know that there is no such thing as being consistently lucky. However, during some events I just do better than normal for whatever reason during comps Yeah, you do, unless you make the finals in which case you fail... Note to self: Remember to eat a snack if you are competing after around 16:00 and also remember to not use 12 hour time because it sucks ok this is off topic but cats are cool bye

oh I posted this wut
alright justin learn to set goals and actually practice xD

Alright lets see how I did with my competion goals.

Atlantic Open fall 2015 is less than 2 weeks away so I'm going to make some goals.

2x2: Sub-4.5 Average and Sub-3.5 single (1st place, but I don't really care for 2x2 honestly I just want good times)) 4.98 average, 4.12 single, 5th place. I failed horribly XD
3x3: Sub-12.5 Average and Sub 11.5 single (Podium) 12.16 average, 11.09 single... 1st place?! Wut?
4x4: Sub-52 Average, Sub-48 single (1st place, but 2nd is more realistic ) 48.79 average, 44.85 single, 1st place
5x5: Sub-1:35 average, Sub-1:28 single (1st place) 1:33.30 average, 1:28.85 single, 1st place
3x3 OH: Sub-23 average, sub-20 single (1st place) 22.14 average, 15.78 single (Fullstep. Again, what? 1st place. (
3x3 BLD: Practice before the comp and get a decent sub-5? DNS. Didn't even try because I knew I'd DNF since I haven't practiced
Pyraminx: Sub-6.5 average and 5.5 single (Podium) 6.62 average, 4.09 single (And a 2.69 + 2, off by a tip I tried to turn and failed! ), 3rd place.
Skewb- Sub-10 average, sub-9 single (Podium I guess) 11.80 average, 8.56 single, 9th place.

Other goals:
1. Make it on NAR top 300 sum of ranks Ranked 150th
2. Win a new 4x4 by winning the 4x4 event so I can stop using my dads XD. No XD. I did win 4 yulongs though that are surprisingly decent cubes.

The comp went pretty good overall. Would of been even better if I got a 2.69 pyraminx single, but it still went well XD
