22.70 ao100.  
Pretty dissiponted, but I used my new(used) Weilong from Kennan and then half way though decided it was to fast for me still and switched to my new(used) Chilong and finished it out.

I did however get 17 sub twenty solves.

Best solve was a 17.03

Really like the Weilong, just hard to control.

Really like the Chilong, just a tad bit slow unless it’s really loose, which in turn leads to corner spins…

Probably not but what cube are you using? Thicker lubes usually work best for cubes. Even the thinnest (I believe) are thicker than bearing lubricant. However if you are using a rubiks brand it may work alright because anything helps in that case.

My first competition!  
I had a 17.3 average but didn’t get it on video. Also my 2x2 got stolen so I couldn’t compete in my best event.&nbsp; ☹
