Race to sub-X on Pyraminx

I +2ed on a 2.66 and a 3.10 in the first round, then just failed finals D: am really sad and am going to take a break for todays practice. Overall the comp was great, got too meet some cool people like spotty and the cubing historian and bought some puzzles from nathan wilson but I just flopped in pyra. Without the plus twos the average in the first round would be 3.10, 2.66, 3.58, 3.53, 3.97 and I would have NR but finals was just a fail in general with no plus twos.

Oh wow, that's unfortunate with the +2s (did you film the average?), but I'm sure you'll get NR next comp. And whats the cubing historians name? I didn't know he was Australian.

e: i did come first so thats great but it was literally the exact same average (4.84) that I got in finals in January. I am so disappointed in myself especially because the scrambles in the first round weren't hard or anything I just made dumb mistakes. Anyway on the bright side I will just practice more now, no longer shooting for 200 or 300 solves a day, gonna try and do 600 or 700 a day.
Good job winning the event! That is awesome doing 500+ a day!
 
Oh wow, that's unfortunate with the +2s (did you film the average?), but I'm sure you'll get NR next comp. And whats the cubing historians name? I didn't know he was Australian.
I didn't film it only because I didn't want to put pressure on myself (also I am super lazy lol). Also thanks heaps, I really hope I can get the NR next comp, are you going to Brisbane Winter? I might come :) Yeah I was speaking to him like all day and he didn't say anything about it till pack up and everyone was so surprised and stuff but we all knew because of his voice. I originally thought the channel was British or something I didn't know he was Aussie either :p I don't think he will mind me saying his name it is Tomas Macadam.

Thanks man! Means a lot to me to hear stuff like that :)

e: I think about filming my solves and starting a channel everyday but I never do it, I have all the equipment and stuff to do it but I am a lazy potato lol

Ah yes I know Tomas (not in person), that's cool!
Yes I will certainly be coming to Brisbane winter, if you saw on the Brisbane thread I was super hyped. It would be great if you could come but also it may not be because I may not win Pyra :p

Also, it makes sense not to film yourself because of nervousness, that's fine. But for some reason it doesn't have an affect on me, at least I don't feel it.

Anyway, the Pyra race to sub X chat is probably not the best place to have a conversation haha

Came in clutch at the end with the last 4 solves, but it wasn't good enough to negate the string of 3s before it. Still a good average for me though. :)

This should be the last time i do LBL in these things. After sub 6.5 i said i would do L4E. I've been practicing with intuitive L4E for about 2 weeks ago, i'm averaging like 7 with it.

Also the race to sub-x for skewb is back! Its off to a slow start so far, but I'm trying to grow it. Go check it out!
 
yay

@BirdPuzzles congrats on graduating! I might do your Skewb race soon, but I don't like skewb very much.

I'm going to start learning Square-1 once my Volt comes.

Good luck!
