[Shaky Hands]

It took me 24 weeks in a row to graduate in the race to sub 30.... stick with it!

Ah cool. I could be in good company then!

Round 121
Race to sub 30-CFOP
Moyu Aolong V2

Average of 12: 29.705 (last week: 32.433)

Best Time: 24.86
Worst Time: 39.03
Current percentage of sub-30 solves in last 250: 37.6% (last week: 32.0%)
Lifetime sub-30 solves: 910 (last week: 616)

2. 34.12 U L' R2 U2 L F2 D2 L2 B' F2 U2 B2 L R B2 R B2 U'
3. 25.28 D' U L2 F D2 L D' U F D U' B2 F2 L2 F' R2 D2 B (I'd consider this an easy scramble and I got a PLL skip here too but paused a while on 1st F2L)
4. 27.10 F L' B F' U' B D U2 L' F D2 L' R B2 F L2 R F
5. 39.03 D B U' L' R' U' R' F' L R' B' F' D' U2 R2 U F' U

12. 29.87 U2 L B2 D L' R U F L' U2 B' U2 B D2 B2 L D2 U'

Finally a success this week after managing many hundreds of practice solves. Things are beginning to flow a bit better now I've switched back to a tighter cube and finally finished off Full PLL by learning the N-perms.

Another 0.5 sec of improvement since last week, even though I still managed to spoil 3 solves with F2L pairs in wrong slots or forgetting what was my cross color mid-solve. But this time some solves felt almost as fast as normal white/yellow ones. The 16.xx is a PLL skip, though, but the 17.50 was full step. Still lots of things to improve but I can consider myself now around sub-23 with full color neutral CFOP and I graduate from this sub-25 race!!!

I will have to invent some other thing to stay here or... Can I just keep posting my solves here every week (as an alumni) until I feel I am close to sub-20 Full CN and then go to that thread? I would like to have at least a mid 21.xx Ao12 before I move there.

How about you go there when I graduate (if you're not already gone). I feel like moving on and comparing myself to that thread sooner will push me faster... But who knows. Good job by the way!

Consider it done!!! I will go with you. Well, I'm already there as an alumni with CFOP white/yellow cross but I plan to graduate again with Full CN so we can try to graduate together. Thanks, I'm really starting to feel the improvement but when I mess it up I mess it up big time

A little more convincing this week. I was still quite anxious but did a better job of calming myself before each solve I think.

And much more consistent than my average. Well done!

Round 121
Race to Sub 25

These seemed like CRAZY easy scrambles. I guess though usually I get thrown off by seeing blocks/pairs built early on in the cross phase, but now that I'm practicing regularly for this comp it was easier to incorporate those into my inspection planning. Yay!
