Week 9 of 2nd year

Spoiler: Every Event's Progress

3x3: I became Sub 11 globally this week. I got a 10.91 Ao250. Also a nice 9.55 Ao5 and some Sub 8 Singles, i get those more often
4x4: I got a new Cube and it's amazing, Jumped from Sub 54 to Sub 49 within 2 days. I think i can do a lot better.
5x5: Didnt do it much, but i think i improved a Bit, ima do a Bit of 5x5 soon.
OH: I got a freaking pure Sub 20 and Sub 19 Ao5 . Some very nice Singles also.
Pyra: Some Sub 5 Ao5s. I think im on the way to Sub 6 too smh.

In the Weekly Comp i Performer decent, but very nice was my Sub 10 Average for 3x3 that placed me 45th I placed 70th Overall but i only competed in 4 Events.

Week 10 of 2nd year

Spoiler: Every Event‘s progress

pretty nice week in general i guess
3x3: Im still sub 11 and i got some nice averages and i trashed my cubing buddy with 26-4 in a special race.
4x4: Didn’t improve much, but i got some more sub 40s and if im really focused i can get daily sub 45 ao5s which is veray nice. I’m sub 48 now.
5x5: I did some 5x5 again and im very consistent which means my average is like 1:25 but i got one sub 1:20 in the past 7 days sadly.
OH: I just got a very nice Sub 20 ao100. If i get a Sub 20 ao250 i will definitely call me sub 20 )
Pyra: Im like SUb 6.5 and got some nice singles and averages, nice. I can get daily non rolling Sub 20 average, so when comps come i can probably get my year goal which is Sub 20 in a comp!

In the weekly Comp i only participated in 4 events and placed 77th although. I got a nice Sub 20 avg for Oh and an epic Sub 5 avg for pyra. I get those rarely!

I’ve been cubing for nearly two years and still don’t have a 5x5
So sad

Id advise you to get one, speedsolving 5x5 is really fun:

1:15.05
1:25.04
1:17.86
1:31.26
1:14.24
=1:19.32 pb average. Finally again a sub 1:20 ao5. 5x5 grind is real

 

[nico_german_cuber]

I finish off march with those averages:
3x3 sub 11
4x4 sub (45) my ao100 is sub 45 but 4x4 is a bit luck based bc of parties so im not sure, i will call me sub 45 tho.
5x5: Sub 1:27 No improvement compared to last month but i didnt do 5x5 much. next month i wanna be sub 1:25 at least.
pyra: sub 7
Oh: Sub 20
i will do more 7x7 for lookahead.
Also i wanna try my best in the weekly comp

Heyho,
I finish off April with these Averages:
3x3: Sub 11 towards Sub 10.5
4x4: Sub 45 but I could do better
5x5: Sub 1:23
Pyra: Sub 6.5
OH: Sub 19.5
I wann become at least Sub 1:20 on 5x5 I think other events I don’t care about this month. I’ll probably care a little about 4x4 and bigs.
Lets see what may brings us
