I'm Chad, 41 years old. A couple of recent threads about cubers over 40 prompted me to join the forum. I started 2-3 years ago when I saw a few cubing stories in the news and decided I should at least know how to solve one. I actually managed to find my cube from when I was a kid, but it was in very bad shape. Two pieces were broken, so I glued colored paper in their place. I learned the beginner's method and obviously had some very slow times, but I enjoyed it, so I eventually bought some speed cubes and decided to try to get faster.
My original goal was just to average under 1 minute, but like everybody else here, once I achieved my goal, I still wanted to get faster. I'm still slow compared to others. Typical average is around 25 seconds. So that's my story. I also want to say that I find what the top cubers do (in all events) to be absolutely incredible. Some of the things don't seem humanly possible. That's another thing that has kept me interested, just watching the amazing solves of others.
Here's my personal bests (3x3 and blind are only thing I practice)--
3x3 single--13.14, avg5--20.24, avg12--22.93, avg50--24.54
1-hand--53.46
4x4--2:26.95
bld--2:30.26
Mbld--3/3 23:02
