Sigh, where do I even begin? The road to 26 has been, an interesting one to say the least. Over two and a half years ago, on September 2021, I got a sub 30 with little to no trouble. A week later, I easily took two seconds off that, even going from a 29.000 to a 27.937 in just an hour (with a 28.218 in between to boot). Knowing how fast I was improving, surely taking this record 1 second lower wouldn't take that long...

Oh how wrong I was! Little did I know just how daunting the prospect of a 26 would be. Going from nothing to 27 may have been quick and easy, but after that, thing would get exponentially more difficult. Even the next 3 records alone would take an extra month on average, and still, only a 27.437 after all that. That would really stand the test of time, going unbeaten for 2 full years! Though I did have some unrecorded improvements here and there, they were all unrecorded, or at the very least unsubmitted, largely because the menuing was so slow it likely wouldn't have been room 2 btt. For that reason, I opted to simply not upload those.

With all that being said, just this past December, I had gotten a 27.125, which thankfully had a fast menuing, giving it reason to stay public. This was the point where I finally started to feel close to that long sought after barrier. 4 months later, I would get a run that literally could not have been any closer, a 27.000

At this point, I knew I had it in me to close it out and finish this long overdue JRB grind. The funny thing is that 27.000 took like 15 minutes of attempts, so I figured 26 might not take long either. And in a way, I was right, because during a 2 hour session of JRB IL's, I miraculously managed to get this run with 20 minutes leftover :)

Final Farewell's to the JRB 26 Grind!!! It was a long one, but it sure as hell was worth it :D

Here's to Sub 4 BM (kappa?)
