Solve #9 would be my fastest full-step single to date. Mostly thanks to very fast F2L and a J-perm. Don't remember what OLL it was.

Decided to join race to sub 30 instead of sub 25. Competition nerves seem to get the best of me. Some good solves, but too many mistakes....

 

[Shaky Hands]

@Jon Persson OK, I will migrate your times over to Race to Sub-30.

This is my first post in this thread so tell me if I made a mistake
I used the scrambles from Shaky Hands post.
(33.11), 25.68, 30.48, 30.36, 29.31, (25.09), 30.52, 25.15, 30.60, 29.71, 27.82, 27.60 = 28.72
Yay I did it! Sub 30. Next round I will do Sub 25.

 

[Shaky Hands]

@Carl La Hood - welcome to the Race thread.

In this (and most other Race threads here at speedsolving.com) competitors aim to reach their target for 3 weeks without missing that target in between. So, whilst you can do the sub-25 Race next week if you want, you won't be listed as a graduate for the sub-30 Race until you get 3 successes.

And yes, the scrambles from my post should be the ones used. Good luck.

Pretty bad start, after 4 solves I was not optimistic. But it worked out in the end

Wow..this is my best Ao12 and CN helped in shaving of couple of seconds from my previous best average. Couple of the non white cross sub 20 was a bonus!!!

Was on course to sub-25 until the disaster that was scramble #11. Still my best ever Avg of 12 and I know now that I can get to sub-25.

Spoiler: Notes

(2) OCLL skip. 2nd best time ever for me.
(6) Stuck on EO - ended up 3-looking EOLine. Got rattled and slow on F2L.
(8) Got stuck building 2nd F2L block for some reason otherwise this would have been very quick for me.
(9) Almost botched PLL, but corrected it without losing too much time, but otherwise would have been one of my best times.
(10) OCLL skip, but was very messy on F2L.
(11) Botched PLL (Y-Perm).
