3x3 Race Thread (15s/12s/10s/8s)

[TDM]

I used my DaYan Zanchi this week, Because it's the only one of my two speed cubes that is lubed and tensioned. (my FangShi isn't even broken in yet)

My ZhanChi is the only one of my two speed cubes that is lubed and tensioned and my FangShi isn't broken in either. But I usually get better times on the FangShi, because my ZhanChi pops sometimes (the FangShi never pops. Even if you try) and because the FangShi is slower, I can look ahead at max TPS and have nearly no pauses during solves. Getting my FangShi actually dropped my average by two seconds and got me sub-20, which I really didn't expect, especially as it's black and white (I've only ever used black cubes before). It's also 2.6mm smaller.

Round: 101
Race to: sub-18
TDM - 11 (18.98) // 0/3

17.20, 21.58, 20.22, 24.19, 20.33, 18.62, 18.20, 19.76, 21.75, 19.97, 15.60, 23.54+, 19.95, 18.42, 15.61, 16.20, 19.91, 25.93, 17.85, 15.22, 16.75, 19.01, 13.93, 17.67, 16.22, 19.23, 19.06, 23.30, 20.02, 17.56

Wow, that was the worst start ever. Don't know how I got a NL sub-14; it didn't feel like a fast solve so I didn't really try at the end, until half way through the H perm I saw it was 11.xy.

I used MoYu WeiLong - my main... I like it because it beats all my cubes... without any modding... I always explain it like: It's something between GuHong and FangShi for me... It has all the stuff I love and GuHong and I love on fangshi mixed together...

Once again, fail. Especially near the end. It wasn't just me going slowly like in the past few weeks (except for the OLL skip which was a 19.64), but I was making loads of mistakes. The one with all the D face edges on D especially. My I probably 'solved' about 7 F2L pairs that solve. And my DNF, like all the 5-6 DNFs I've had this week, was a failed Z perm. My Z perms are usually really good, but when I'm timing myself they just fail most of the time.

- In your post, include: Round number, Race that you're in, average, number of sub xx solves, and the times
- Also include your results in the following format:
Your username - # of sub x's (the average) // x/3
x = number of times you got at least 20 sub x's in the past round(s) for that specific sub-x

Round: 104
Race to: sub-18
TDM - 10 (19.35) // 0/3

17.17[Red], 21.72[Yellow], 15.54, 20.66, 22.56, 18.87, 19.17, 20.54, 18.48, 15.79, DNF(18.16), 18.33, 16.23, 20.80, 17.03, 18.64, 15.95, 19.15+, 19.49, 20.71, 16.40, 21.23, 15.45, 27.80[Blue], 19.99, 22.63, 16.38, 27.40, 19.89, 17.77

Got a PB Ao100 today, but bad start. Then got it sub-19, then I completely fail the ending (again), starting with an easy blue X-cross on which I then completely failed the F2L. I thought that I could finally get a normal average in this comp, then I get a stupid amount of sup-20s and get a sup-19 average. And I really need to stop DNFing MU PLLs :fp
