Latest update:
I'm now sub-43. Wasn't going to give an update until I was sub-40, but I have kinda plateaued for the past couple weeks at sub-43. But I'm not discouraged, as I haven't been purely drilling for speed. I've been playing with the cubeast website, and messing around with 2BLD and 3BLD, and have been playing with Roux just the past couple days. Oh, and I bought a Skewb, too. It's fun to cube in various ways.
That said, I do still have a goal of sub-30 on the 3x3. I've had a few sub-30s, but really don't get too excited about those, as I know there is a lot of luck involved. Clearly, my solves cluster around 35-47s.
The cubeast web app has revealed to me that I spend too much time in recognition. About 17s on average, which is time I'm not moving my cube. My TPS is well under 2, but that is skewed by my recognition delays. Watching the Red Bull Cubing World Cup this weekend, I know I'll never come close to those TPS stats on my best day, but I think my TPS on execution is good enough to reach my sub-30 goal. The cubeast app shows that my TPS is 3 or 4 on each step, except the cross.
