I've decided to switch to yellow cross Hoya after realising that most of my sub-45 singles came from yellow cross. It makes color scheme recognition much easier. So now I'm CN for 3x3, yellow cross for 4x4 and white cross for 5x5 and up. Agh
 
Just got a Weilong GTS and did my few hundred first solves. Got 3 PBs...
Such a good cube for my turning style!

Woohoo! My first sub 3 minutes BLD. This feels so good. BLD is really getting more and more fun and it starts to feel really natural and I have successes and sub 4 times almost all the time now. And it still feels like there is huge room for improvement in the near future.

It's especially cool when I look back to the times when an attempt took half an hour two months ago when I learned it. Successes were extremely rare, it felt impossible to get faster and it was just sooo hard to do it.

I even had a chance for my first tournament podium place ever. Serveral of the good blind solvers on that competition got a DNF and then my last solve would have been the 3rd place. Sadly, two edges were twisted, but it still gave me a huge boost to see that it is actually possible to get to a podium if I have a good day and a bit of luck and some others have a bad day.

gj! first sub-10?
 
Cleaned out my Aolong (V2) and re-lubed it. This thing's a beast.

This is a really good average... But I seriously failed the last two. Would have had TWO counting 12s if I didn't +2! WAT! Then the 17 was just bad.
