"NEW" Race to Sub-30!

Round 167: Roux

40.38 (53.64), 40.53, 49.58, 34.32, 53.42, 33.39, 38.55, 42.86, 36.83, 39.10, (30.31), 35.25

Counting 53 dragged me above 40, but a good few solves at the end.
 
Congrats indeed!

And dbuck: I noticed your times dropped really fast - how did you manage that?

It's easier for you guys to call me Dan! ;)

Well, if you check there, I've been missing for a few weeks... I've been practicing my Look Ahead and that's all, no new algs learned, only F2L with improved Look Ahead... ;)
Once I saw it was working, I kept practicing a bit longer until I was sure I could graduate! Then, I came back!! :D :D :D :D
 

Thanks but I know this page of course :) Sorry that I wasn't really clear, my question was meant to be more like this: Which algs do you find easy to memorize and (more important) to execute? Cause I can't really decide... I know it's personal preference which algorithm you chose, I just wanted to ask for your opinion/favourrite Ns and Vs.
 
Round 127: Roux( ;) ) CN
33.11, 29.88, 37.31, 31.76, 29.60, 24.49, 35.13, (43.57), 32.24, 33.41, (22.85), 38.54 = 32.55
I should stop forcing myself to not do blocks with white/yellow on the bottom... (Results in better times)
 
Round 168
3x3 Speed
Average: 43.05
41.06, 43.00, 35.02, 46.28, 45.44, 44.61, 39.78, 41.27, 46.80, (49.26), (34.59), 47.24

It looks like either I reeeeally screwed these up or the sub-40 averages I'd been getting two days ago were flukes :( I have a feeling it's the second one XD
 
Round 168 - speed
Average 31.34

Pleased with this - 5 solves sub-30, only 2 sup-35, and none sup-40. Much more consistent. Switched from Weilong to Zhanchi 55mm. Even my Panshi feels better than my Weilong...

I'm improving, but this could have been much better. I got some pretty cruddy OH PLLs, including several Z perms. First solve, though, was a PB :)

I think I graduated :D
Is there a Sub 25 Forum in here somewhere??? :D

Here's mine currently:

Nb - R' U R U' R' F' U' F R U R' U' R U' f R f'

A couple of pretty bad solves in there ruined it for me. Still, PB single and Ao5!
I'm considering switching my OH main from my Shuang Ren to my Guhong for next week. Not sure how that's going to turn out.
 
Round 169 - speed
Average 31.92
Didn't feel like a fast session - it felt like I was slow and paused and locked up - but the time was still OK. I didn't look at the average until the end and expected it to be 34-35. Maybe that means I'm improving.
