Had another comp today at the University of Maryland, Slow and Steady....results:
3x3–even though I still struggle with this in comp, today was at least not a melt down. Had a few different mistakes, but didn’t let it rattle me. Managed to shave .09 off my Official Single... so although that’s still not a sub-20 (20.42 now) it’s still a PB so can complain too hard.
2x2–finally! I haven’t really improved on this in several months but have been annoyed that I couldn’t get a sub-7s Ao5 in comp. I’d say I’m globally a low to mid 6 and can get 5s for average pretty regular. So it really bothered me having a 7.02 Official. So, today, I managed to avoid chocking and landed a 6.09.
4x4–my goal was a sub1:20 average. I would have done it too... but my first solve I was thrilled to get a good start with 1:18... only to realise I had a PLL parity.... dnf. Followed that that 1:15, 1:18, 1:35 and 1:15. That 1:35 was the disaster I would have loved to throw away. Even though that’s how it went down, I felt good knowing I did generally what I wanted. I’ll get it next time.
Pyra—this was just comical. My unwillingness to actually learn or practice, results is a 12 and a 29. Lol. But, I walked out of there with a PB Ao5 for Pyra too.
So not a bad day. Had a good time.
