2:23.14 3BLD single!
Also did a 3-cube MBLD attempt, forgot to memo the last letter of the second cube, realized that I didn’t have parity bc of edges, but had an odd number of corners, and I couldn’t fix my mistake for some reason…and wasted about 5 min doing this, so yeah PB fail…2/3 in 18:04 or smth like that

35 PB FMC SINGLE WHAT

 

[mdcuber9]

21.54 Sq-1 PB average!?!?! Also 18.14 PB single!

 

[mdcuber9]

Did 2 FMC attempts today, 41, and 38. I now need an 84 for PB mean, which is DNF, so rly I need a success to get PB mean, maybe I’ll get a chance to do the last attempt this weekend

 

[mdcuber9]

Did the last one and got a 38!!!! 39.00 PB mean!

 

[mdcuber9]

My competition was rescheduled to February 20, which is a Friday. They dropped FMC, 4BLD, 5BLD, and MBLD (the events I was kinda looking forward to but oh well) and they dropped some rounds too. I think I’m still gonna be able to go though, Lord willing. I can’t complain too much, because I should be grateful that my competition was postponed when there were SIX competitions over the last two weeks completely cancelled due to storms.

 

[mdcuber9]

Updated goals for the comp (again):
3x3: sub-15 single, sub-18 average, make second round
2x2: sub-3 single, sub-4.5 average, I’d like to make finals, it might be possible if I get a low 4 average, but I’ll prob need sub-4 (which isn’t impossible)
4x4: sub-1:05 single, sub-1:10 average
5x5: sub-2:30 single, prob not making 2:15 cutoff (if I do, then, get PR average)
6x6: sub-5 single, get a mean potentially
7x7 sub-11 single
3BLD: sub-3 single, get an ao5 (they extended the cumulative time limit to 20 min so I’m gonna safety for an average)
Mega: sub-2:40 single, not making cutoff
Skewb: sub-5 single, sub-7 average, make finals (if I get a sub-7 average, I most likely will)
Sq-1: sub-25 single, sub-30 average, I’d like to make finals but it’s top 6 now…I would need at least a sub-20 average so definitely not

Bummed that there’s no FMC, 4BLD, 5BLD, MBLD, was rly looking forward to those

 

[mdcuber9]

Well, today I just went through all the events I’m competing in (except for mega skewb sq-1 since I ran out of time) but I got 5 PBs! 1:04.60 4x4 avg, 5:13.06 6x6 mean, 9:31.60 7x7 single, 2:17.40 3BLD single, and 3:36.42 3BLD average!

 

[mdcuber9]

I got a 51.49 PB 4x4 single!

 

[mdcuber9]

Whatttttt I just got a 1:58.59 Megaminx single and a 2:11.05 average…my previous PBs were 2:13 and 2:39…

I might actually make 2:00 cutoff on Friday…

me when organizers have me scramble for 3x3, 2x2, Skewb, and Pyraminx (i’m not even competing in Skewb or Pyraminx)

I still scrambled anyway and surprisingly managed to survive the group (kirby carried frfr)

 

[mdcuber9]

Well, I’ve never been called to scramble before (this is only my 4th comp), so I guess it’s a sign they trust me lol so I’m happy

 

[mdcuber9]

Did a full run through of all my events (except 3BLD), broke 2 overall PBs, and somehow got a 3.28 2x2 average using LBL…

how do you do so many events
The most events i ever did at a comp was 4 and i was exhausted by the end of the day
probably because they kept having me scramble for 3x3, 4x4, and OH

 

[mdcuber9]

This is by far the most events I’ve done at a comp (previous was 6), but I’m super excited for it, i guess I can consider myself an allrounder (even tho I’m bad at everything) but whatever lol

 

[Caleb Valenzuela]

do you have any tips for not being tired after doing 6 event
