Round 32
Race to sub-1:05
Average: 1:13.18
1:16.53, 1:16.80, 1:09.83, 1:18.98, 1:08.63, 1:21.07, (1:25.29), 1:05.00, (1:02.97), 1:11.04, 1:17.38, 1:06.55

Not as bad as I thought I'd be, but still need to get back to where I stopped.
 
Round 32
Race to sub 2
Average: 1:44.053 :D

1:39.353, 1:39.204, 1:53.603, (2:05.737), (1:26.036)

I felt like the first two scrambles were very easy. On the last solve I just had exceptionally good lookahead, but on the second to last one I swapped two adjacent centers xD and didn't realize it until I couldn't make my cross work...

I have also found that my times are best when I build centers one at a time instead of in bars as I described earlier. I still try to preserve things that are already made and maybe use an r' instead of an r to make one bar so that it will make another on the way but if I just focus mostly on making completed centers it's faster. I think it's like the advantage of Fridrich over Petrus: you're working with fewer pieces at a time so it's easier to connect them quickly. I still use the other way for slow solves though, because it's more fun and efficient. I also think it may be like overtraining: when you go back to the easier way it feels even easier by comparison.
 
Round 32
Race to sub 2
2:03.12

2:00.57, (2:14.26), 2:10.39, 1:58.4, (1:56.02)

I've been focusing on getting to sub 20 3x3 and haven't touched 4x4 in quite a while. The Race to Sub 20 thread has really helped me, so I'm hoping this thread will do the same for my 4x4 progress.

Looking forward to the next round!

All of a sudden, starting this week, I got a lot faster, by like 10 seconds. I did just get the Mini MoYu Aosu, which is a very nice cube. I really like the bigger stickers on the smaller cube (unlike some other people) but a corner did break.. but it was fine after I superglued it back on.
Also, this is my first time on this forum!! Yay!! I hope I can get an average of sub 1 :) It was funny because I noticed my worst was right before my best time...
