Week 2 is out! Let's see how I did on my goals for the week:

3x3:
1. Do at least 600 solves Total solves: 723
2. Sub 8.5 ao200 Best ao200: 8.340

Accomplishments of the week: 8.34 ao200, 73 Sub 10's in a row

5x5:

1. Finish learning L2E algs, wow I completely forgot I made that goal lol
2. Do at least 400 solves this week, Total solves: 306
3. Sub 50 single, Best single: 49.187
4. Sub 1:00 ao12, Best ao12: 58.502
5. Sub 1:02 ao50, Best ao50: 1:02.508

Squan:
1. Know at least 45/90 CSP's, 55/90 CSP's currently
2. Sub 16 ao200, best ao200: 15.840
3. sub 15.5 ao50, best ao50: 15.153

Did good on most of my goals. Seems like I need to step it up for 5x5 this week. Next week I'll probably start grinding on megaminx instead of 5x5 and try to get at least sub 1, preferably sub 55

I've decided that for the next 7-14 days I'll be doing 5 3BLD attempts each night. Here are my attempts for Day 1

DNF(2:34.239), 2:00.543 PB, 2:08.953, DNF(3:10.434), 2:04.906

3/5, Average of attempts: 2:16.033

Comment: Wow, all three of those successes were better than my old PB (2:12.285)

 

[Zubin Park]

Wow, your PB is around my regular 5x5 solve lol

 

[Micah Morrison]

Wow, your PB is around my regular 5x5 solve lol

[Zubin Park]

Wow, um I suck lol

 

[Spacey10]

as @Nmile7300 mentioned in his progress thread, I (along with Owen) organized an online comp today. Here are my results from the comp:

3x3: 8.7 avg in the first round, meh
In the bracket style finals I had a tough matchup in the first round against Brian Johnson, who has a low 7 official average, so I lost
4x4: 33.46 avg, 4th place. Not what I was hpoing for, but I wouldn't have podiumed unless I had gotten a 30.6 or better. One good note is that I got a 25.98 single, which I'm super happy with!
5x5: 58.90 avg, 3rd place. Honestly super happy with this, I rarely ever get a sub 1:00 ao5 and I did it in an online comp!
7x7: 3:08 mean, 6th place, pretty good for at home, but average for comps (I always do way better in 7x7 in comps). I agree with Nmile, why was everyone so good at 7x7 lol?
3BLD: 3/3 successes, with a 1:54 single!, which was 3rd place. Also was my first ever sub 2:00!
megaminx: 1:07.93 mean of 3 average of 5, 7th place. Not great, but I plan to grind on megaminx soon, so maybe I can start podiuming in comps.

Wait wait Megaminx wasn't a mean of 3:confused: :?

Week 3 is out! Unfortunately it wasn't the best week for me in cubing, but that doesn't mean I can't do well this week.
Also, I'm going to stop focusing on 5x5 since my summer goal was sub 1:03 global avg and I avg around 1:03. I'm going to start focusing on MEGAMINX instead. I'll still be working on 3x3, 3BLD, and Square-1 CSP algs.

 

[Micah Morrison]

Welp just got a sub 50 megaminx fail. 48.365 +2 = 50.365 Still a PB so I'm happy, but come on, I really wanted that sub 50.

[Micah Morrison]

just got my 4x4 PB2 Single at The Cubing Club of 24.47! I hope I'll break my PB of 23.53 soon! Comment "RECONSTRUCTION" if you want to see a reconstruction video of this solve!

 

[Nmile7300]

Wow! Rip dot OLL and N perm, although I guess it's better than parity.

 

[Micah Morrison]

Just got a megaminx PB single of 49.485! That solve also caused me to break all these PB's:

Mo3: 54.953
Ao12: 59.535 (First ever sub 1!)
Ao25: 1:02.774
Ao50: 1:03.474
Ao100: 1:04.359
Ao200: 1:06.295

 

[Spacey10]

Micah: Megaminx is fun!!!
Owen realizing that 2 months ago: I am four parallel universes ahead of you.

Anyway, congrats!
I guess breaking this many PB's in a day is regular for you.

 

[Micah Morrison]

I finally got a sub 7 average on 3x3!!! Actually this was one solve after my first sub 7 average but I rolled out a 9 with a 7.0.
