What was your first competition like?

[ProStar]

Good luck! What are your goals?

3x3: Sub-22 Average, make second round
2x2: Haven't practiced in a while, maybe sub-6 average. Also a 3 single would be nice, better if there is a really easy scramble
4x4: Sub-1:45 average. Cutoff is also 1:45, so I'm confident I'll get a full avg
5x5: Haven't practiced at all, I'm not even sure what I'm averaging. Maybe sub-5:00 or sub 4:45, I'll have to do a couple solves
BLD: Combined time limit is 20 min, so I'd like to at least finish all three solves. A success under 7 minutes or so would be nice
Skewb: Don't care, don't practice, but I decided I might as well do it. Sub-20 average maybe? I also can't fingertrick SH/HS

If you train pll using a trainer like jperm.net I'm sure you can go sub-20 on 3x3.

He averages 19, but I guess low expectations. Unless you’re talking about while using full PLL.

I meant using full pll. I mean, at my first comp I did high expectations and I somehow got 8 seconds below my goal.

I got no clue how much nerves will effect me, I'm trying not to underestimate because I don't want to be disappointed. We'll see

turn extremely slowly in the comp. It will feel like you are turning so bad it won't be sub 30 but it is just your nerves. Trust me, you will solve much faster that way, probably your normal average.

I always turn extremely slowly, even at home
