"NEW" Race to Sub-30!

Yay, Roux!

Round Fifty-Two​
Average: 34.88
Cube: Dayan Guhong
Background music: The Devil Wears Prada (lol)

Event: 3x3x3 speedsolving (New method: Roux)
Individual Times:

1. 42.36 ( :fp What a horrible way to start an AO12)
2. [24.38 (Yay!)]
3. 32.01
4. 33.10
5. 33.97
6. 32.82
7. [48.27 (Worst. Solve. Ever.)]
8. 34.26
9. 38.42
10. 30.85
11. 36.55
12. 31.62 (Would've been sub-thirty if it wasn't for lock-ups and epic fail insertion of UR and UL...)

Does anyone have some tips of speeding up first two blocks? My blocks literally take 20 - 30 seconds of my solves... I'd be sub-30, if not sub-20 if they were faster...
(I know to use M and Rw moves)

[EDIT]: Yay for best average on this thread so far!

May be nowhere close to sub-30 (plus one that wasn't even solved), but it is my first one (not counting the unsloved one) where every time is sub-2 minutes.

No it's just a beginners method.

It counts as a DNF. Put the time in the results but don't include it in the average.

Include all 12 times along with your post. Exclude your highest time and lowest time, and average the remaining ten times... one DNF would count as your highest time and should therefore be excluded. Two DNFs would result in DNF for the average. Keep at it!
