4th comp DONE! i bagged PRs in 2x2, pyra, and of course, clock (actually made it past the cutoff). i was really nervous for 3x3, since i had my entire extended family watching me like i was some sort of real professional .

but it was a great experience overall, this was the latest i stayed in a comp, and i'm going to register for another one on august 30 so stay tuned. i really want to see progress for my next one, a sub 20 at least. thanks to my new speedsolving friends for helping me out on my journey!
