Comp is over, and results were published. I did alright, better in some events and worse in others. Starting with the events I didn't practice, I got PR's in skewb, square-1 and 2x2 which I didn't practice at all leading up to it. Getting a 3.50 ao5 in 2x2, a 6.39 ao5 and 4.57 single in skewb and 44.32 in square-1. Since I didn't practice I didn't think I would get anything but I'm happy to get some decent averages for them. I didn't get anything in 5x5 but I wasn't expecting anything so that's okay and a sub 1:30 is more than good. I practiced 7x7 a bit leading up to the comp, since I got the Aofu the day before I was able to solve on a good cube, which lead to getting overall PB's officially, with a 4:39 and 4:53 single and mo3.
I also did alright in 3x3, not doing the best in the first or second rounds because I was unsure of what cube to use since I was using a WRM V9 at home but it had a chipped corner, but for the finals I got the okay from a delegate and was able to use it, so I was able to lock in and get a decent 8.57 average. Though I have been averaging around 8.6-8.7 after the comp, so that's good for World's, but no sub 8 ao5, so
@Caleb Valenzuela you will most likely get it before me, and my current PB ao1000 is 8.840. I did order a Super V2 since the corner of the V9 finally chipped off so it's no longer comp legal, and hopefully it's really good for my solving style.
Now for OH which is never good officially anymore, I got a 12.97 in the first round, that was a PR fail since I opted not to do a ZB on the 13 which gave me an H perm that I locked up on which cost around a mid to high 12 solve and a PR. Then comes the finals where I had just gotten a PB2 10.67 ao5 in practice so I was really warmed up and ready to go. Starting with 11.12, 11.95, 10.55 the average had good promise, then 24.73, it's okay I'm allowed one bad solve, then 18.74, average ruined, BPA of 11.20 missed, 15.30 or better to beat PR, and 11.76 or better to get Anthony Record. But I failed all of that which really sucks. Though I learned a lot more about how to handle my nerves and my solving in general so I feel more confident going into World's that I may be able to get something decent in the first round to calm my mind, then something good enough to make finals in the second round.
I am going to be focusing on my efficiency primarily during the next month since my 3 good solves were 6.4, 5.6, 6.4 TPS so I can turn quick enough, but all of the movecounts were over 68. So if I can drop my movecount to 65-60 then as long as I keep a similar turn speed I can be averaging around low 10 to sub 10. So I have a lot more potential to discover before World's and I am really going to work towards that. I may not post much until before World's so just know I'm gonna be spending as much time as possible working on OH, and I may only make one more post right before I leave for World's. Good luck to everyone who is going, I can't wait to see everyone there and hopefully make OH finals. I also ended up getting 2nd in both 3x3 and OH again, but still no win somehow, even though OH should have been guaranteed by now. First win at World's? JK... unless
