First 8 was nice except for a 2s penalty on solve 4, sometimes I have problem doing f' with my index finger at the end of the T permutation. Not sure what happened the last 4 solves, maybe reality catched up with me.

I did the cross on either white or yellow, much easier when doing the cross but sometimes i had problems with the recognition. Still, down over 4s since last week so I am content.

You could try different fingertricks for the T-perm. Like, try right thumb on F' or right index.

Round 142:36.74CFOP!

Spoiler

Number of solves: 12
Best Time: 26.40
Worst Time: 52.38

Session Avg: 36.74

Individual Times:
36.63, 36.53, 35.53, 34.55, 39.87, 41.05, (26.40), 34.40, 33.90, 39.82, (52.38), 35.13

After graduating, I was debating over doing OH or CFOP, and as you can see, I chose CFOP. I am really surprised with the result, I didn't know I would be this fast in the first round. The 26.4 was a PLL skip. I am also CN.

It was going pretty well until solves 7 and 8 came along...

Wow I was getting lucky solve, after lucky solve, after lucky solve. I had 3 solves that were under 20 and a couple that were quite low 20s. I usually am starting to expect mid 20s maybe a bit higher. New Ao12 record woo hoo.

Nice CheesePuffs ao12.

I went to my first contest. What a blast! For other reasons, I had no sleep the previous night and expected to do horribly, but managed to a05 at 44.41. Meh. I'm looking forward to better results next time. And I got what I wanted on the 7x7 so I'll have more time to practice the 3x3.

I went to my first contest. What a blast! ... to a05 at 44.41.

Nice start of you WCA carriere! I had a 40.04 Ao5 as a first.I hope to improve it to a sub 30 soon..

This average was much worse than last weeks, but I have actually improved form ~35 to ~30. This was just a bit unlucky, while the last one was very lucky.
Hopefully I'll graduate in 3 weeks from now.

I hardly practiced all week so I'm pretty happy. I think I will finally be leaving the sub-30 race... for a time. I just started CN training today (for a month). Maybe after that I will come back with another method.

My goal for next round is sub 35.

Feeling kinda clumsy today. I've decided to go ahead and learn full 2 look PLL. I'm currently at (worst case) 4 look. And I already have 2 look OLL. Furthermore, I'm going to be very careful at algorithm choice so I get the ones with good finger speed (for me).
