I learned some more OLL's: 20, 31, 32, 35, 37, 43. I've been practicing 6x6 and set all my PB's today (notably a 4:03 DP single and a 4:35 average, which I can easily improve). I need to practice more 3BLD, I just haven't done much of it.

3x3 PB Single: 12.01 U B2 U B R D' R B R F2 R2 D2 R U2 R' B2 U2 B2 U2 F
I can't find my solution, but I put my cross solution possibilities below and I know it ended in OLL 28 and a PLL skip. I think my first pair was the red blue pair.
z2 x U' L U' R' U'
z2 x U2 R' U L' U2

Right after this PB Mo3 and Ao5

Mean of 3: 13.940
12.013, 14.501. 15.306

Avg of 5: 15.067
15.395, (20.511), (12.013), 14.501, 15.306


Edit: PB ao12 & ao100

Ao12: 16.60

Ao100: 17.60 (previously over 18)

I haven't been practicing 3BLD, but I just got a PB of 4:12.52. I messed up the first two letters on corners and had to redo them and still got a PB. I know I have room for improvement, I just need to spend time practicing.

I have an April 8th and an April 14th comp, so I'm planning on practicing for the comps. I'll put my goals for the events below.
2x2:
PR average (5.67)

3x3:
PR single (15.94) and average (17.70). Make 2nd round

6x6:
PR single (4:31) and mean (4:41)

7x7:
PR single (8:27). I don't plan on getting a mean since the time limit is 20:00 for all solves.

Pyra:
I'm fine with anything, a sub-7 average would be nice, but I don't think I'll beat my PR average (6.45) or single (4.98).

Blind:
A success, under 5:00 would be nice.

I didn't end up going to the comp on April 8th, I did have one today.
I didn't do good in any events except skewb (which I got double PR).

I don't know what happened in 3x3, 5x5 wasn't good. 7x7 was terrible, I didn't get a success on 3BLD, but my 2 times were around 5:00 (I didn't have time for a 3rd attempt). Pyraminx was okay, pretty good for how little I practiced. I got a super lucky scramble on skewb, but didn't have a good execution, still a PR single and average, so I'm not complaining.
