GO TO A F***ING COMP ALREADY IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR NOW SINCE YOU STARTED!!!!!!!

My goals are rather more modest than most ...
  • 3 x 3 Average: sub 1-minute (currently about 1:20)
  • 3 x 3 PB: 45 secs (currently 53 secs)
  • Consistently use F2L for last step of keyhole (I'm slowly transitioning)
  • Deadline: Next 200 solves
 
Goals for Canberra Autumn:

2x2 / Pyra / Skewb: Ha, good one.
Failed 2x2 with a counting 6, failed Skewb with a counting 11, but podiumed in Pyra somehow lol
3x3: Sub 12 average, PB single, make finals maybe?
None of these, I suck.
4x4: Sub 1 average, sub 55 single. Just don't humiliate myself.
See 3x3.
5x5: Sub 2 average. Probably won't happen.
1:55 official PB single still wasn't enough to make cutoff
OH: Sub 30 average, sub 25 single.
Actually did super well in OH, got two 26 averages and a handful of really nice singles too. 5th in finals was cool too.
Mega / Clock: Make it through the round without someone laughing at me / make cutoff
Didn't make Mega cutoff, got a 2:20, but podiumed in clock with a 16 average lolwat
Squan: Sub 20 average, perhaps a lolsingle.
Didn't do either of these, best I could do was 21.50/17.94, but I did come 3rd in finals
FMC: Idek, just not DNF
3 attempts, 3 DNFs. Would have been a 46.33 mean with a 41 single but I suck at notating apparently :/
