Actually, I really want to regain the national records... If world records come with it, then that would be a great bonus. I really have focused on the 4x4 though. I changed the pace of my solve and it worked wonders.

With times like those, it shouldn't be a problem for you at all!
Good luck at Worlds!

Nice to have you back Frank.
If I sum all are your averages it is almost a sub-3 average for the 2-3-4-5-relay
I look forward to meeting you at Worlds. Too bad you weren't at the US Open this year.

yeah... crazy. And I just can't type. Those 2:2x.xx solves were not normal for the time. The first one I just wasn't warmed up, and the last one, apparently my centers or edges had a mix-up in them. Looking at Frank's times, he varied by 15 sec, and I just had a 25 second variable. O well, I actually sent my replacement pieces for my big cubes to the wrong address, so I don't have my rubik's for another week. Hopefully then I can pull something out.

3x3: 20.58 (14.47) 17.61 (23.31) 17.94 Average: 18.71
Whhaaaat? Like no warmup, and I get sub19? I'm confused!
3x3 OH: 1:00.28 (1:01.52) 59.94 1:00.03 (46.28) Average: 1:00.83
I'm tempted to call this a sub60 avg! I dropped the cube on that 46 aswell, maybe could have been sub40 or so. I don't practice this properly, so I'm ahppy with whatever I get!
2x2: (16.41) 07.77 (7.42) 10.15 9.13 Average: 9.01
I try Intuitive Ortega(or Guimond) on the first one, It didn't work too well! The third was 1 look LL! Sub10, so meh!
2x2 BLD: (38.01) (34.56) Best: 34.56
Sub40, again! Memo on the second one was 10.08 + 24.48 execution.
3x3 BLD: DNF DNF
Arggh, baad. It was too late when I tried, too hard to concentrate.

2x2 Average: 12.77
Times: (18.65), 12.79, (9.13), 11.03, 14.50
3x3 Average: 32.60
Times: 33.59, 31.28, (45.26), 32.93, (30.64)
Hey - finally an improvement!!! I'm learning all my OLLs now - if I know the OLL, I'm usually in the 30-34 second range. If not, more like 40 seconds. So strange as it seems, learning the OLLs appears to be the easiest way for me to get to a 30-second average.
3x3 OH Average: 1:15.16
Times: 1:06.46, 1:05.57, 1:33.45, (1:03.48), (2:09.12)
The sub-1:10 ones were all OLLs I knew. The last one was essentially a double-solve (messed up one of those new OLLs )
4x4 Average: 2:37.05
Times: 2:36.82 O, (2:11.84 O), (2:48.43 OP), 2:32.02 O, 2:42.30 P
5x5 Average: 3:50.90
Times: 3:47.39, (4:19.71), 3:47.20, (3:45.13), 3:58.12
Again, the 4:19 was a new OLL I messed up.
2x2 BLD Best: 1:13.92
2x2 BLD a: 1:33.64
2x2 BLD b: 1:13.92
3x3 BLD Best: 4:06.06
3x3 BLD a: 4:06.06
3x3 BLD b: DNF (4:05.01)
Disappointing.
4x4 BLD Best: 31:25.57
4x4 BLD a: DNF (30:07.13)
4x4 BLD b: 31:25.57
I consider this a milestone - this is the first time I ever finished a big cube BLD and was disappointed with the result - I was just too slow. I spent 15 minutes memorizing the first one, 17 minutes on the second one. On the second one, I mismemorized most of the edges and had to go back and rework my memorization when I was almost to the end of the long cycle.
5x5 BLD Best: 59:00.30
5x5 BLD a: 59:00.30
5x5 BLD b: DNF (53:29.64)
Finally under an hour. The first one was about 28:30 memorization time. And Arnaud, I did it about a minute after the alarm clock woke me up at 5 this morning. I had pre-scrambled it the night before so I didn't even have to scramble it first (it would have given me more time to wake up). The second one was 27:15 memorization time, and I only had 3 center corners and 3 wing edges cycled wrong when I was done. I'm having problems doing this now because my Eastsheen cube is constantly on the verge of falling apart now. It's usually not a problem for 5x5x5 speedsolving, but it is a constant concern on BLD solving.
Fewest moves:

Hey all, I'm rather new to the scene and this is my first competition. I
couldn't compete in all the events because I only have a 3.3.3, which I still
need to get lubricated.
Victor Larsen
3x3x3
Average: 56.47
Times: 59.54 53.45 56.42 (47.84) (62.15)
This is my first time averaging sub-60 for more than a few solves.
3x3x3 OH
Average: 199.52
Times: (305.48) (153.07) 183.98 256.20 158.39
Haha, these were my first 5 times ever trying one-handed. I dropped the
cube so many times, 4 times on the first solve alone. I had to hold my arm
away from me and locked so that I wouldn't try to use my chest to help a
turn.
Fewest Moves: 38 moves
I used RF'R'B'R for the 2x2x2 initially, but extended it to the current
so that the 3-cycle I left at the end would only take 5 moves instead of the
9 to solve at the end.
RF2L2FR'F'L2S'(z)R---->10 moves 2x2x2
B2LU'L'UL2------------>16 moves 2x2x3
U'B'LUL'BUBU2B'U'BU2B'-->30 moves F2L (I'm not real good at this part yet)
R'F2LFL'FRU------------>38 moves OLL
The PLL was skipped by making the first step long.
If anybody can give me some good tips on moving from 2x2x3 to F2L that
would be really cool.
I might give Blindfolded a first try later today, but that's unlikely to happen or
succeed.

Thanks arnaud for teaching me the 2-gen H. It saved me 1 move. I guess it was pretty decent for the first time. The first x-cross actually came w/o any set-up and I just figured out the other in 5 moves. I just saved another move by doing the 3rd pair differently.
