What was your first ever timed solve time?

[tx789]

I got 3:12.XXX or some around that it was above 3 below 3:35. Next timed solve I got sub 3. ALso I had fnally finished learning the last alg for beginners. This was in early 2009. I was 11.

What were your first timed solves time?

Mine was 8:38 the 29 august 2010 2 hours after I had learned the beginner method. It was basically my first try to solve it whithout looking at any algo. The second one was 6mn, then it dropped really fast to 2mn average.
And this week end, 7 months later, I did my first sub21 avg100 : 20.94 !

I didn't time myself until i had learned the beginners method completely. By that time, I also had lubed it already, so my first time was about 2:30. After I've practiced a while (i was doing my intern by that time, so I had plenty of time on the train), I got down to 2 minutes pretty fast. I remember my first sub-2, because I competed with a Pan Pizza So I inspected it, and started with the microwave set at 2:00, and was done with ≈ 20s left. Now it's been two months (i think) since i started, and i average 45s.

Around 4 minutes, after being confident enough with the algs to not completely mess up.

I didnt time myself until after a long time. I used to just race kids in my class.

[Inf3rn0]

I looked at a clock to time myself and it was something between 6 and 7min. Unsure of specific time.

 

[Zane_C]

3-4 minutes.

 

[E3cubestore]

Mine was 3:45,
I never got higher than that again,
My second was under 2 and I'm not sure if I ever got over 2 again, if so, not many times.
