Round 213
Race to sub 30
CFOP OH
Ao12: 31.438

37.502, 28.391, 33.054, 32.735, 31.055, 33.559, 27.335, (20.119), 34.239, 30.894, (38.358), 25.615

This was a fantastic round for me. 20 is my best ever, and there were some other pretty good times. For the 27, I had the VLS case where you simply insert it and do a FRUR'U'F', which unfortunately left an N perm, but I still got a pretty good time. 20 seconds was a sune with a PLL skip, and 25 was a full step with bruno followed by a U perm.

@guinepigs rock - you weren't clear about whether you wanted to enter Race to Sub-25 or Race to Sub-30. I've added you to Race to Sub-30 for now. If you want to change, please make this clear when you next submit results. Thanks!

Rounds 215 and 216 Introductory Cube Races
Planned round end date Monday December 25th 2017 (round 215) and Monday January 1st 2018 (round 216)

Festive Season: I'll be posting 2 weeks' scrambles and will publish results of these 2 rounds along with the scrambles to round 217 in early January. Ideally you would do these in the designated weeks rather than back-to-back, but I won't be policing this.​

Reminder: Please put the round number in your post when you submit your results. If you're a new entry into the Race, please also include your Method. Thanks!

It's funny to feel slow (for me) again. Trying to pick up a new method.

I've been working on slow solves, trying to improve my look ahead. Still have to constantly remind myself to not look at the pair I'm currently solving, and look for the next pair instead!

AoLong v2

Ao12: 31.588

33.919, 29.567, 34.127, 28.751, 38.959, 29.094, 30.327, 28.863, 35.343, 53.270, 26.135, 26.927

It's a good average, but considering I had 2 bad times I think I can do better. The 38 was possibly caused by having to do checkers OLL, which I rarely get and don't feel confident in executing, and the 53 was caused by messing up the cross, then trying to fix it, doing a slot, and then realizing that I had it still messed up. Then I undid that slot when I fixed the cross.

Joining the race! Finally decided to get into OH (kinda) seriously, although I'm using an experimental method to keep things exciting. Recognition is still slow, but since I'm turning slower anyway, it makes sense to try it out here. Besides, finishing a solve with 2GLL feels great.

RACE TO SUB-25
GTS2-M

Back from a long hiatus... still chasing that sub-25....

I suppose this is as good as anyway to return to the forum comp. we will see what actually happens in the coming weeks. Incidentally, this is my fastest average of 12 in over 300 solves.

Ao12: 22.975

(25.428), 23.608, 23.704, 23.167, 21.819, 20.929, 22.023, 23.903, 23.148, 24.708, [19.102], 22.743

Ok that was awful. I made too many big mistakes, like using the wrong alg, or forgetting how to do a z perm. It had been a while since I practiced one handed solving.
