I've been getting a ton of PBs in the last 2 days...
2x2 single: 2.22
Used ortega.
I think I will start learning CLL now.

 

[Julian]

So today I sat down to do some solves. I was hot, sticky, and uncomfortable the whole time. As a direct result, i got a full set of new PBs

Lucky: 13.91 (old was 13.95 NL).

Ao5: 16.58 (old was 17.40 with a counting 13!). Times: 17.17, (27.30), (15.30), 15.39, 17.19

Ao12: 19.12 (old was 19.83). Times: 17.69+, 16.11, 23.04, (23.13), 17.33, 16.68, 18.36, 20.54, 22.59, 18.31, (14.75), 20.55

Ao100: 20.81 (old was 21.85!!)

Don't know where else to post this but it made me smile

So today I put in a job application at a local restaurant and one of the spaces they had was for hobbies. I wrote down speedcubing and then pictured the managers face when he reads it lol I think google will get one more hit.

[yamahammer08]

So I decided to record one of my solves for the first time just for kicks and giggles to see what it looked like, and I happened to get a PB! haha 46.13 (single 3x3) Not sure if this is actually my pb, all my times got erased yesterday and I know I had another 46.1x solve before, but cant remember for sure what it was. It's brutal to watch tho. Sooo many pauses (had a 4 second pause at one point xD) and clumsy turning, I knew it was bad, but had no idea it was this bad. just happened to have really easy pll and oll
I know the time is nothing to write home about, but give me a break, i practically just started cubing and I just found it funny that I happened to get a pb the first time I decided to record a solve...
