Average: 30.67

(23.59), 29.28, 23.90, 36.13, 34.28, 30.67, 27.42, 28.12, (42.30), 36.97, 29.52, 30.37

So much bad. OLL was often slow because of bad OLL or new OLL.

43.72
43.21

AVERAGE: 44.23. PB ao12. Very pleased, the 2 sup minute times came from badly executed PLL :O so could have been even better
F2L has improved and general fluidity. Few more F2L tricks required I think, when they're both in the slot but mismatched.

I-It was ok I guess, BUT at least it was
not terrible RIGHT?!?

I just wanna know how you guys
are improving for me im just going super
fast around the cube but, if I try to do two averages
in a row, my hands get REALLY I MEAN REALLY tired!
So I was wondering if any of you had a better strategy to getting faster. I
don't mean practicing because I do that. Just wondering though...

Lol SneaklyFox and PianoCube. Im embarassed that im between 2 OH sub 25 solvers and im 2 handed Lol

When I was at your speed, slow solves helped me a lot. I guess you use CFOP, correct me if not. So don't time yourself too often, and just solve the cube without trying to turn fast. Try to find more efficient ways to solve F2L pairs, or try blind crosses, or try to find the next pair while you execute another, there are lots of things you can learn during slow solves. And I think learn some PLLs once in a while. Just look up a case that appears often. And maybe use better fingertricks, I don't know how good they are. You could post a video of some solves in the corresponding thread (don't know the exact name), so people can be more specific when they give advice.

Hope that helped you a bit

Get a toilet cube. Go sit on the toilet until you can´t feel your legs anymore, while solving the cube(no access to a timer) Act like you were doing some walk-through solves for a total NOOB(you don´t have to talk out loud) Say something like "so, after the cross is done I solve this pair that is right in front of me, and while I´m inserting that I´ve already spottet the next pair. Oh! I can see that I will get a sune OLL when the next two pairs are done"(eventually it will be true and you will amaze yourself)
OR
If you are young enough to have your own room, then just practise.

Round 7
Race to Sub-25
Average: 25.02 (nooo...)
24.33, 24.81, 25.89, (21.55), 25.99, 26.76, 25.36, 23.51, 22.30, 23.95, (28.04), 27.29

Really? Argh!!! Always last two solves mess me up for some reason. Ok... might as well move on. This is very depressing so I'm going to practice 3BLD instead. I'm so noob at it right now though (see sig) so if I do full solves I'll probably be off the charts even if I do Race to Sub-30. Maybe and probably even DNF average. Is it ok if I work on substeps instead and/or enter a "Race to Sub-X" where X is something other than 25 or 30? A substep might be... memo and execute corners only... or execution only.

Round 7
Race to sub-35 CFOP (double flick U's and D's)
Average: 30.44 (PB )
33.04, 27.32, (25.41), 25.85, 33.66, 30.074, 30.20, 28.65, 31.25, (38.95), 34.42, 29.89

Really happy with this one, practice is starting to pay off and I am getting more and more sub-30's every time I do an Ao12+ This marks my third week sub-35 so I'll be racing to sub-30 now. Although progress has been slow I am improving again which is really exciting after being at a standstill for a long time now.

Schmidt : 29.67 (σ = 1.65) : 3 on 4

Round 7

Yay, not a bad average.

Lol SneaklyFox and PianoCube. Im embarassed that im between 2 OH sub 25 solvers and im 2 handed Lol

I'm far from sub 25, barely sub 28 on a good day
I improve slowly, so I'll probably not graduate until some unknown time during 2014.

Round 7
Race to sub-30 - 3x3 CFOP

Average: 29.49

30.19, 27.40, 30.25, 29.50, 34.17, 23.81, (50.05), 24.35, 33.01, 29.10, 33.16, (19.61)

Yes! Thought I ruined my average with the 50. And then - sub20 on the last one

Round 6: Roux

21.48

19.22, 21.75, 23.08, 19.95, 22.00, 22.32, 24.18, (18.61), 20.75, 22.56, (25.22), 18.99

Possibly my PB Ao12 with Roux, and no counting sup-25s. I've finally got my Ao100 back under 25 too.

 

[TDM]

This time, I'm not going to give up this event until I've graduated from the race to sub-20 for 2H and sub-30 for OH.
lol I always say that and then get bored and go back to CFOP
