Race to sub 5 (7x7)

AvGalen said:
I just read James message about his 5:23 with 2:20 centers. That means 3 minutes for 3x3x3+Edges on a solve where he was really happy with those edges.
Centers for me are normally around 3:10, edges just over 2 minutes and 3x3x3 about 45 seconds. So I guess James needs more time on a great solve for edge than I need on a normal solve. On the other hand, I can only dream about doing 2:20 for centers

I think that I need to explore AVG a bit. As my edges seem to be turd

20secs on 4x4, 1min on 5x5, 1.5 mins on 6x6 and about 2.5mins on 7x7. Does this sound about right? It definitely feels the slowest part of the solve for me.

And 2.20centres was incredibly quick for me, I'm normally 2.5x for them.

Average: 8:20.75
Comments: maybe a DNF, depends on rock1313's discretion...

1 - 7:42.66
Comments: not sure if i did the scramble correctly, may of done 1 or 2 moves wrong, but still an epic solve for me,
I did get this on film ... then whilst uploading to Youtube, I beat my PB again ... talk about a wasted upload
2 - 9:26.06 (forced DNF)
Comments: 2 pops on scramble fortunately the pieces were the same colour so no re-scramble necessary, would of been sub 8:30 if i hadn't screwed up the v perm -.- but what can you do...?
3 - 8:58.84
Comments: nice scramble, after getting some hints from Michal himself last night, i though i should use them on this solve as ive already DNF'd the mean, and having not practice what he has told me, this is the opportune moment to try it :), whats annoying is that i had a huge number of pops 10+, really slow centres, really slow edges, parity and i was walking around my living room whilst headbanging to Kerrang... and i still get sub 9...?, this method must have significantly less move count and really easy look ahead, will certainly be using this method, all thanks to Michal :)
might use this scramble again later to see what i can get if i concentrate more lol

2 days later I redid this solve and got: 7:35.43, which is pretty average for me now, after taking nearly a minute off my best in just 3 days, ive almost got the hang of the edges, once I get a bit more practice in ill be sub 7 in no time

this might of been mentioned before but can this be an Ao5 instead Mo3 ... or will people say this takes too long?

defeatist...
its 7 days to do 5 solves... not all in 1 sitting

and now that i realise that i wouldn't mind it being Ao12 ... but thats definitly off the cards

8:13.88, 8:24.46, 7:30.71 = 8:13.88

For any who wants an average of 5 instead of a mean of 3, too bad it's not happening.

If you really want to have an average of 5 why don't you make another 7x7 race.

Think im the only one who wants Ao5/12 , instead ill just do the 3 and another 9,
And for the record there would be no point making yet another race, as Mike already has 5 in his weeklys
