I was pretty happy with this because this beat my terrible triple tied PR single of 25 on a scramble that didn't seem too great.

This one seemed to be the best (and it was), but I got distracted and ran out of time, so I had to just safety whatever I could from the 15 to HTR I had written down. After DR: F (B2 R2 F D2 Fâ) (D2 L2 U2 L2 U2) // 21 Slice +1 This is what I should've found, but I forgot to switch the 1 move reduction to 4b2 2e on normal :/

After checking all of my linear sub-5 EOs and only finding a 12 4a2 4e, I decided to write down a few 5 move EOs and I'm really glad I did because the DR was really easy to finish! Now being on 23.5 pace for the second time, I was really nervous for a3 because I didn't want to throw away my pace like I did in the previous round.

I got jumpscared by the +3 to slice but once I found it at around 40 minutes, I immediately started solving it and found the +1 for 23. I had a few other promising DRs including 10 4c3 4e and 11 2c3 2e that I checked after finding 23 but I couldn't find anything better.
