Recap of the comp:
Overall my worst comp performance by far, only 1 PR
The comp was a lot of fun and it was very chill but the results were terrible
3x3: 12.2, 11.3, 12.0 avgs, goal was sub 10 average and I didn’t even get a sub 10 single
2x2: goal was finals and sub 4, 4.44 avg and no finals
4x4: goal was finals, we were so behind schedule that we had to cut out finals, 45 avg too :/
Pyra: goal was PR avg, I missed PR avg by 0.02 in R1 and by 0.01 in finals lol, 3.26 PR single tho
Clock: goal was sub 7 and finals, I got 2 mid 7 averages lol
Bad results, fun comp

[Isaiah Scott]

I just realized that even though I’m qualified for 6x6 and 7x7 at worlds, the cutoffs to complete a mean is 2:15 and 3:30 which is absolutely ridiculous so that means I might have to grind

3:14.77 7x7 Single (PB3)

 

[Isaiah Scott]

It has been forever you guys
I'm still cubing, and I'm planning to still cube for as long as I can
I am, however, gonna be way less active in the forums.
I'll be doing the weekly comp consistently, but I wanna take initiative and spend less time on technology. Not that this forum disrupts my life in any way, but I've been feeling the presence of nature recently, and I've realized that there is much more to life than technology. I've been taking more of my time to focus on wholeness and peace within the world and enjoy nature and the beautiful world around me more, and I've got to admit: I don't know if I've been more happy with my life like I am right now in over 2 years. It has been amazing learning what a simple thing such as spending your time wisely can do, and I encourage anyone who finds this post useful to try it on their own. Our world is beautiful, and it gives us many things. If we spend all of our time scrolling and looking at a screen as our primary source of entertainment, think about how disappointed our ancestors will be and look down on us.

I will still be cubing, as I have a comp next weekend and I'm still planning on going to worlds for sure. You just won't see as much of me on here. If you wanna get in contact with me, feel free to DM me on here or my discord is isaiahscott2009. Just know I won't respond as frequently or as much as I used to.

Love you guys
-Isaiah
