Results from my first competition in a long time! My goal was to make second round in at least one event and break a few PRs, and I totally overachieved. I'll break it down event by event. I had so much fun, thanks to the organizers and delegates!
3x3: Pretty happy with the average. I consider myself sub-15 now but I think I have potential to be sub-14 or even sub-13 if I lock in for a week or two, my 15 second solves feel really slow now. Wish I could've gotten a sub-12 PR single, but nerves threw me off a bit. Made second round but I wasn't there because I didn't know I made it.
2x2: Very proud for making second round, and then smashing PR average. Would've made finals if 1 more person no-showed.
4x4: Eh, I was hoping for sub-55 avg and sub-50 single. Nerves hit me hard during this one bc I care about it a lot. Still double PR though.
Pyraminx: I have no idea how I did this well in round 1. This PR average was faster than my PB average!!! Got super lucky I guess, and not very nervous because I don't care about pyra much.
Skewb: Incredibly proud of myself. Sextuple PR, got better every round, and placed top 10 in finals. I think I'm reaching my peak with Sarah's intermediate, looking to learn advanced soon. I'm ranked top 100 in New York state now which is fire.
Overall, I'm really happy with my progress just a few months back into cubing after a long, long hiatus. Gonna try to get back into 5x5, square-1, megaminx, and maybe 3BLD. Also gonna grind 3x3, 4x4, and skewb to get my times down.
