LOL.. I think you are progressing faster than I did. I just saw your the race to sub 30 post. Nicely done!

EDIT: Btw, these mid twenties are occuring so much more often. It feels magical when I do a 24 - 27 seconds solve..

 

[BenVdd]

So close to sub 30!

You better hurry up on getting sub 30 as I appear to be Three months behind you on progress and if you don't make it in a month or so I won't be able to get there by Christmas!

Seconded!

 

[MarcelP]

Yes Ben, you started 3 months after me and you are allready in the same averages. That is truely awesome. Must be the age thing Raoul and I progress at a slower rate... Lol

What I find funny is that both of us started with the 1 minute barrier in mind and now we just can't stop

I guess the progression is usually linear but my self perception is that you can stay half the week averaging 40s and a day later you are a couple of seconds better and you stay ther, I guess as I said it's just self perception.

I'm planning to do a web timer focused on recording progression and showing stats, whenever I find some time to do so, will definitely try to do it by Christmas (once I'm sub 30 )

Yes, but when I hit the 30 barrier I will start learning new things. Roux and one-handed are on my wish list. So I will not work hard on getting faster after that.

If I get a sub 30 average i'll learn Full PLL and maybe OLL I am not looking forward to it and keep postponing learning those damned algs :/

and I am nowhere near getting these averages of mine consistantly. One day i get solves between 27-35 , the other day I struggle getting sub 40 :/

Don't put off learning PLL. The sooner you learn it, the better. Just learn one alg a day.

I'm just so lazy :/ I know E , H , Z , Ua,Ub, Aa,Ab,T,Ja, Jb (think those are all i know)


(and i should stop hijacking this thread)

 

[MarcelP]

So close....

Average 30.87
33.96 (23.70) (37.29) 28.21 26.25 28.06 34.61 30.90 33.71 26.75 35.89 30.37

Will try again tomorrow..

 

[BenVdd]

You will get there within the week

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Woohooo, you go go go!!

 

[MarcelP]

I did a Ao 100 session today. And I was expecting a sub 30 Ao12 in there.. Not even close. Not even a Ao5 sub 30. LOL.. Luckily there was a Ao3 sub 30 there. And I did improve my Ao100 almost by a second
so I am still very happy Whhooohoo!

 

[BenVdd]

I should do a Ao100.. how long did it take you?

 

[MarcelP]

Hmm.. I am guessing one and a half hour or so.

 

[BenVdd]

Ok , Challange Accepted i'll start in 20minutes ^^

 

[moralsh]

Heh, Marcel -> Mr regularity

your times are always so close to each other... I'm getting better at that, but I've never been close to you on that, I think it´s impressive to have 1.5 seconds between your Ao12 and your Ao100.

 

[Schmidt]

Hmm.. I am guessing one and a half hour or so.

Most of my times are sub 30(Ao1000~25) and I use 1 min per solve(scramble inspect solve) so 90 minutes for 100 solves seems a bit fast.

 

[moralsh]

On long runs I do little inspection, most of the times 3-5 seconds, maybe that's also the case with Marcel

 

[MarcelP]

It might have been two hours also.. I did not look at the clock.

I think that is just my base core speed right now... I have a PB on a single or Ao5 is just luck in my case.. in Ao100 you miss the luck factor and it shows just how fast you are...
