Should I learn EG1?

I practiced some OH this week after almost three years and according to CSTimer I got PB ao100 by seven seconds (16.99 from 23.99), so that’s pretty cool.
It’s definitely not accurate though, iirc I did do a session last year (probably deleted it), and I probably got like an 18 ao100 then. I also think if I calculated the ao100 of my official solves, it would be 17 or 18.

I had a comp, it was pretty fun.
I got a nice 7.14 PR2 average in round 1. The average itself is pretty decent (around what I global, which is cool considering the scrambles weren't that good). Unfortunately my cube somehow broke before right the second round lol, so I had to use my backup that I wasn't used to. Because of that, I wasn't able to turn well during the second round, and got an 8.2 average (plus two out of high 7). However, I had some time to get used to the cube before finals. I started off with two high 8's and thought the average was over, but I managed to pull off three decent solves and get a 7.60 average, good enough for second place.

OH round 1 was decent, but I messed up in R2 and didn't make finals.
I beat @Bababooey6969 in both Skewb rounds which is obviously what actually matters. Pretty sure Skewb average was my longest standing PR (July 2023), so breaking it is cool I guess (I hate skewb).
I got a pyra PR average as well, although it's kind of annoying that there's a counting 8.5. I kind of want a 6 average, so hopefully I get that soon (no I'm not going to practice, just going to spam out comps).

Fun comp, next one is a weekday comp on the 18th.

Forgot to post results from this weekday comp a few weeks ago.
Easily the worst two scramble sets I've ever seen for 3x3, so I'm happy to get a 7.6 average in finals (even though it had a counting 9). The 5.89 definitely could've been PR. The scramble was actually pretty bad, but I spammed TPS and got an OLL skip so it turned into a 54 move solution anyway, which is better than average for me. The F2L was like 42 moves lmao. I almost cubedropped during LSLL, and I had a really bad Uperm recog, so definitely could've been a low 5. I don't really care though.

Next comp is in 3 weeks (I think), hopefully sub 6.5 average/ sub 5 single.

I practiced a little bit this week (just 3x3, maybe about 200 solves total), but I started practicing more seriously again today. I’m still at my peak speed or maybe even a little faster for 3x3, so that’s nice. 4x4 I’m averaging around 33, which is better than expected. Hopefully I’ll get some more practice in soon.
 
Cubing update ig

Just got back from Worlds yesterday. Super fun comp, and I got to meet a few of you guys. Unfortunately, my results weren’t the best. I was pretty nervous for 3x3, and I think the lack of practice in 2x2, 4x4, and 5x5 also caught up to me.

When I got to the comp, I was in the middle of my first round (Clock) when I realized I didn’t really want to compete in it. I DNS’d my last solve and decided I’d just focus on the events I actually care about (2-5 and OH). I ended up having to skip OH due to some scheduling issues though.

2x2 was okay considering I hadn’t touched it in a while (low 3 avg), but I lost my GAN 251 at the comp, which kinda sucks. 4x4 was solid — 32 avg, which is close to what I used to global, and I had like 7/10 parities. 5x5 was rough though (1:23 avg 💀). And 3x3 was pretty bad. I got two mid-8 averages, which I think is the first time in a long while I haven’t gotten a sub-8 avg at a comp. Still, the comp was 100% worth it. Worlds motivated me to lock in again.

Going to try doing around 4 hours of practice a day on weekdays (which is about 4 more than I usually do). Planning for roughly an hour and a half each of 3x3 and 4x4, and an hour of 5x5. I need to completely derust on 4 and 5 (I haven't done 5x5 since last June help), and for 3x3 I’m just trying to push down into mid 6 territory. I'll try to send daily updates here to help me stay accountable. I also started new sessions for all three events (titled POST WORLDS GRIND). (And if you couldn't tell from this post, 5x5 is one of my main events again)
