13 moves away from a podium | NAC 7x7 Finals 2:02 mean + 1:50 PR2 single

I was (and still am) really sad about how close I was to getting podium at North American Championships. I knew it was in reach, but I didn't think my chances of getting it were actually very reasonable with there being so many similar speed/better 7x7 solvers at this competition. I needed low 1:56 on the last solve for podium, and just got a really bad pop during PLL on really solid pace for sub 1:56. Ultimately, I realized that I would be sad with any result that wasn't podium, so I am glad that I still solved well for the most part and proved that I could do it, and that it just came down to a really small mistake that ended up being very punishing. I'm really looking forward to seeing what I will be able to do in next year's majors! Sponsored by PiCube, use code ECho for 40% off your next order! https://www.picubeshop.com/
