5x5 Race thread!

Round 7, Race to sub-5:00

Average: 4:35.02

4:59.44, 4:54.03, (3:58.27), 4:08.55, 4:27.19, 4:47.21, 4:44.91, (5:02.91), 4:35.75, 4:30.76, 4:06.75, 4:35.58

4th and 5th look like the same scramble. I just did the scramble twice for 5th solve when I realise that it looked familar. I hope that's OK.
 
Round 7: race to sub 2:30
Average: 2:37.599

(2:23.424), 2:26.436, 2:35.802, 2:53.321, 2:30.519, 2:34.353, 2:44.006, 2:46.569, 2:29.239, 2:36.806, 2:38.939, (3:51.553)

Ever since I got an aochuang my times have plummeted. I want to join this race thread to see how low I can go.

Round 8
Race to sub 2:45
Average: 2:48.286
2:52.336, (3:05.438), 2:46.289, 2:45.072, 2:58.022, 2:46.369, 2:54.573, 3:03.735, 2:38.123, (2:22.719), 2:38.705, 2:39.638

So apparently my last ao12 was just really lucky or something because my times are much higher now. I guess I should just try to consistently sub2:45 before I go for sub 2:30. Bleh. I hope that doesn't mess up the system.

Also, is it normal for the 3x3 stage to take 25% of solve time?

I think that 25% for the 3x3 stage isn't too bad. Mine is around 21%. 25% would take people like Feliks and Kevin hays like 14 seconds for the 3x3 stage, I bet Feliks is a little less, but Kevin is probably about exactly that.
 
Round 8
Race to sub 3:30
3:28.86
3:42.72, 3:18.06, 3:20.43, 3:24.50, 3:32.09, 3:25.03, 3:24.85, 3:47.50, 3:27.81, (3:06.29), (4:04.11), 3:25.59

Phew, that took a while. I've never done an avg12 with 5x5. I was gonna start with race to sub 4, but I guess I'll go for 3:30 after that round of PBs! :)
 
Round 8
Race to sub 2:15

Round 8
Average: 2:57.47

lol when practising new stuff, improvement is so fast :D. Loving the HuaChuang, my first 5x5 :) I don't think I'll put 'Race to sub X' because I just got my HuaChuang yesterday and have no idea what I average.

Your 5x5 times are way behind your 2x2 and 3x3 times. Do you practice 5x5 a lot? If not, I would assume you could get at least sub2 very quickly.

Also:

Round 9
Race to sub 2:45
Average: 2:36.688
(3:07), 2:28, 2:26, (2:17), 2:48, 2:22, 2:31, 2:28, 2:59, 2:48, 2:42, 2:35
