No way I would do two in a row and much less after two weeks without practising 2x2. Back to square one

Round 50 - Race to sub 5.0
Method: Ortega / Varasano
Cube: Moyu WeiPo Stickerless

Generated By csTimer on 2016-8-24
avg of 12: 5.07

Time List:
4.82, 4.61, 4.30, (6.84+), 5.76, 5.39, 4.99, 5.51, 4.89, (4.09), 5.21, 5.18

The +2 was an incorrect AUF. Without that I would have gotten a 4.98, just barely sub-5. I warmed up using the Kungfu Yuehun I just bought (including the weekly comp scrambles). It is a really nice cube but it is a bit fast and loose out of the box so I went back to my Weipo for the average. I will have to set it up, though, as it has main potential.

I didn't realize that there's a 2x2 race! Definitely joining this one as well

Round: 51
Race to Sub: 4.5
Cube: MoYu LingPo
Method: Varasano/LBL + some CLLs
Average: 4.30

1. 4.87
2. 4.29
3. (1.83)
4. (5.57)
5. 4.43
6. 4.23
7. 4.06
8. 4.48
9. 4.51
10. 3.91
11. 4.61
12. 3.60

Only 3/10 of these solves were over 4.5, so that's comforting.
Surprisingly, most of this was Varasano, as opposed to LBL.
I want to get a weipo really bad.

Round 51 - Race to sub 5.0
Method: Ortega / Varasano
Cube: Moyu WeiPo Stickerless

Generated By csTimer on 2016-9-1
avg of 12: 5.04

Time List:
4.90, 5.32, 5.23, 5.57, 5.06, 4.86, (6.51), 4.14, (4.12), 5.87, 4.57, 4.85

Another close call. Despite the failure I'm quite happy with the avg, more specifically with the mental recovery after the fail on the 7th solve. Not quite sub-5 yet but now almost all averages are clearly sub-5.5 and this looked like impossible just a couple months ago. I think I just need to devote some weeks to 2x2 practise focusing on OLL prediction, which I still find difficult for most non-trivial faces. That and a bit of PBL alg drill.
