"NEW" Race to Sub-30!

ROUND 105 SPEED (YELLOW CROSS)

10 of 12: 00:25.73

3 of 5: 00:24.21 (Sub 25 :D)

12: 00:26.39 x
11: 00:26.56 x
10: 00:23.22 x
9: 00:21.63 x
8: 00:23.01 x
7: 00:24.65 x
6: 00:33.91 x
5: 00:26.12 x
4: 00:25.86 x
3: 00:23.83 x
2: 00:27.62 x
1: 00:30.09 x

Pretty sure this is my 3rd week in a row sub 30 with yellow! I think I might actually just stick to yellow, it seems to be easier for me to see the cross somehow.. Gonna re-enter next round with green and blue though :P Colour neutral please! :D The 33.xx solve was a joke too, I was on PLL at like 23 seconds then just couldn't do the PLL for some weird reason. ended up cylcing edges to get one I like haha. Dunno what the heck that was about..

YES YES YES YES YES!!!!

SUB-30 AND NEW PB AND NEW Ao12 AND Ao5 AND I GOT THE PB ON VIDEO!

Excuse me whilst I compose myself. The PB should have been sub-18 though, but hey, I'm happy :-)

Think the week off and just practising on look ahead paid off. Looking at all the vids, my F2L look ahead has improved enormously, as well as my cross solve.

One happy chappy :-)

Really crappy first solve, I'd done some warm-up solves too so it wasn't me warming up! >.<

If I'm not too late to be considered for Round 105 now, here's the average for that too:
Average of 12: 29.64
31.01 26.82 32.08 27.06 27.21 (37.67+) 30.86 28.86 36.90 28.39 (26.43) 27.19
Also sub-30. Just. :P

So I've either graduated or only one week away from graudation. Yay!

Not shocked to be honest. Wish I had of just done this earlier today when I was more chilled. Did an average on mainly green and got 30.9x 10 of 12, with 3 sub 25 singles. This was awful. Sub 40 should be a given for me at this stage. Ah well, can't win em all. Next week I can try though!
 
Round 106
3X3 on 4X4

Average: 30.72

28.18, 31.88+, 33.80, (27.24), 27.76, (43.09[pop]), 36.61, 29.88, 33.50, 27.56, 29.71, 28.35
 
Well that was a disaster. One DNF for screwing up the solve, one for a cube pop that sent an edge piece across the room. Oh, well

Round 106: 53.10, DNF, DNF, 63.55, 64.18, 72.82, 69.05, 57.08, 59.12, 60.54, 64.01, 79.12 = DNF
 
Round 106
Speed (ZZ)

Average: 36.14

37.79, 39.73, 33.56, 29.24, 30.39, 36.12, 37.58, 38.93, 41.06, 36.98, (25.44), (48.51)

Beat my best average of 12 and average of 5 and single by 2-3 seconds each!
25.44 was a PLL skip, and I believe that the OCLL was sune or antisune.
 
Round 106
Speed - CFOP
Opposite Cross (yellow)

Average - 27.392

Times:

25.088
26.198
27.050
27.442
27.188

32.566
28.188+
24.805
29.915
(34.419)
(24.733)

Honestly, I'm quite impressed with myself solving with opposite cross for the first time. Hopefully I can keep it up for the next 2 weeks.

Woo! 3 in a row! Although I managed sub30 this round, I didn't feel like a sub 30 solver this round. I don't feel anywhere near ready for sub 20 comp considering all three qualifying weeks were 29+ seconds. so I'm going to stick around to see how many sub 30 weeks I can hit in a row. If I can get 5 I'll graduate myself!
 
Round 106 - 3x3 on 5x5
Average: 31.19

32.83, (44.64), 34.35, 32.49, 28.35, 29.51, 30.24, 29.08, 30.14, (27.27), 32.16, 32.74

This actually felt like a terrible round for me, even though numerically I think it's my best round yet. Many of these were incredibly lucky solves; this really should have been sub-30 due to the lucky solves, but it wasn't because I didn't do very well.
