Accomplishment Thread

I bought my first cube in 2008 after seeing a friend solve it.Obviously learned the beginner method and got down to about a minute but hit a barrier and got frustrated so I just left it there. The cube still fascinated me though and I knew there were other ways to solve it so I decided (after a long break) to get back into it and look into other methods, I came across Fridrich but was immediately put off by the PLL/OLL alg lists (respect btw to all of you who know full PLL/OLL) then I discovered the Petrus method, it is my standard way of solving now and I love it so much! I beat my PB last night with a time of 38.12 which is pitifully slow for most of you guys but I am definitely a beginner at speedcubing despite being having had a cube for a couple of years now. I know I can get quicker times with practice, will post once times have improved. Can't wait for my first sub 30 solve...
 
46.78, 45.43, 45.67, (1:01.25), 45.27, 45.90, 49.55, 50.42, (44.65), 50.26, 49.89, 53.80 -> 48.30
45.43, 45.67, (1:01.25), (45.27), 45.90 -> 45.66
Kinda disappointed with the avg12 in a way.

Nice :) Your story sounds very similar to mine. I also hit a barrier with a beginner's method and gave it up for almost a year. Only difference is that when I came back, I looked into CFOP, not Petrus.

EDIT: 20.63, 18.01, 16.09, (29.85), 24.68, 22.06, 16.63, 17.06, (15.50), 17.08, 17.11, 20.04 = 18.94 :) sub-19

16.92 Ao5, close to PB.

Not only was this a PB avg5 by about 20 seconds, but I broke my PB twice. I was averaging around 3 minutes last week.
 
59.40 3bld on cam. Used one of spef's old scrambles from the UWR page. Kinda cheating but still a good time.
 
Finally some 3x3 PBs :p

20.64, 19.67, (23.26), 17.66, 20.78, 17.74, 16.70, 20.03, 20.48, (15.61), 22.05, 19.33

Bolded is 18.16 avg5

But more importantly: 19.51 avg12 FIRST SUB-20 WOOT! :D

Getting closer to sub-3.

Edit: I thought there was a DNF in there...

Just beginning to see good improvement after slow progress last couple of months. Think finishing OLLs a month ago is beginning to reap benefits. Complete fail solve on no 5 though!
