Maybe the fastest ped seed that I'll ever do? This felt very good considering it was an all-dungeons seed. Could have been a lot faster but I had a dumb death in DM which ended up hurting me =(
As usual, I'm always conflicted about when to do EP. I've stopped skipping front of escape, but I'm always tempted to put off EP stuff and hope to get mirror so I can do POD+EP in one go. I decided to do that this seed as well, not sure if it helped or hurt honestly.

Instead of going to EP I sequence broke up to Death Mountain, which looked like it was going to be unfruitful except it got you mitts! Unfortunately, I failed the paradox bomb jump TWICE, then managed to die while trying to walk the long way. I decided to just delay the other DM checks, which ended up costing me a bunch as mirror was in hookshot cave =( So that meant I had to take an extra trip up to DM later, and I didn't do smithy chain on the way to hype cave. booooo....

After that I went straight to dark world, dipped SW for the flippers (I'm swearing by the SW dip nowadays), then found lamp at TT. I had used mitts (from DM) to get to TT, so lamp at TT meant that either flute or hammer had to be in the remaining light world checks, which for me was Sahasrahla, EP, Zora, and Agina. I was right -- Hammer ended up being in EP.

After getting the hammer I realized that pendant IP was full clearable, and got super suspicious. I probably should have done TOH first, but I decided to take a gamble and clear IP -- it was a green pendant, plus I had somaria so I could icebreaker through it to save some time. Didn't pay off until later when I realized it was a ped seed.

Did TOH, did the remaining DM checks (mirror!), then full cleared SP. Decided to see if DP was boots-locked -- it wasn't, but boots were on desert ledge anyways! Did boots checks, checked lumberjack cave in case ice rod was there (nope), finished SW and did the ped check. I already had bombos and quake and knew at this point there was a 1/3 chance that ped was required. Needed flute and ice rod, decided to do smithy chain, and found both one after another. Fluted to MM, of course it's ether....off to kill armos, go mode POD, go mode MM, go mode TR.

Felt like I made my way through the progression of the seed very well besides the DM mishap. My execution clearly needs work though:

Failing the paradox cave bomb jump twice and then dying afterwards felt really bad
Had the worst Aga2 fight I've had in a while, leading to fighting Ganon with almost no life -- luckily had a faerie with me.
I failed the TR laser bridge skip wayyyy too many times, eating a bunch of life. I almost died to trinexxx as I tried to backdoor the first head and missed
Bunch of derping around in dungeons leading to being at low life at points

I feel like I'm improving though. I pulled off spooky glitch in MM like a pro, had a very clean moldorm1 fight with tempered sword, easy diver down in SP, quick kills on Lanmolas as well, and even did a combo of spin slash and silvers against vitreous to ensure I had arrows left over for GT. I even somehow made it through a very dangerous chain chomp sequence in TR without getting touched... I barely botched the armos quick kill though, and Mothula was NOT cooperating today at all.
