Round 134
Race to sub 25-CFOP
Thunderclap

Average of 12: 28.37 (last week: 28.49)

Best Time: 22.34
Worst Time: 32.94

34.16, (22.89,) 29.04, 27.31, 26.31, (38.21,) 28.13, 29.51, 25.56, 30.31, 26.58, 26.74

Slow first solve. In sixth solve I dropped the cube during an N-perm.

Round 134
Race to sub 30, Speed

Ao12: 29.81

26.39, 27.13, 31.84, 28.94, 34.84, 33.17, 26.40, 26.72, (40.15), 31.04, (25.77), 31.72

That was tight, and uneven. I switched to my black TangLong, did the previous rounds on my gray TangLong. Despite my efforts, I've never been able to make those 2 cubes feel the same. It is as if they were completely different and I've never really liked the black one. Wanted to still give it a chance and did an Ao50 on it, which turned out pretty well, so I took a chance and did the competition on it as well. It's currently much looser than what I'm used to and occasionally I have problems controlling it, which can be seen in the form of very uneven results. However, when I do manage to control it, I'm clearly faster on it than on the gray one.

Round: 134
Race to Sub: 30
Cube: QiYi Thunderclap
Method: OH ZZ
Average: 30.67

1. 26.95
2. 27.76
3. 27.37 -messed up OLL but PLL skip
4. 27.20
5. 28.01
6. 35.53
7. 37.03 had a really hard EO, messed it up, and had to rotate
8. (26.26)
9. 30.22+
10. 29.53
11. 37.05 -was this scramble legit? a 1 move cross with an F2L pair?
12. (40.32+)

Average started out amazing, but then totally died.
Seriously? A 2+ 40? Would have been sub 30 without all those mess-ups.

I hope I am on time to round 134. I decided to give Roux another chance, I really want to be sub 20 with CFOP, ZZ and Roux by the end of the year.

Round 135

Race to Sub 30 (speed)

Ao12: 29.71
28.27, 32.57, (33.14), 32.95, (27.14), 27.43, 29.30, 28.47, 29.92, 30.17, 28.03, 30.07

Another tight one. After the first 4 solves I was already starting to grudgingly look forward to another 3 weeks in the race. Luckily I managed to pull myself together and perform the remaining solves closer to the standard I'm used to over the last week. I guess it doesn't matter how you win, as long as you win, so I should still graduate this week.

I might aim for race to Sub 25 next, or come back doing race to Sub 30 with ZZ next. I guess I can't do both as they are the same scrambles.

 

[GenTheSnail]

Great to see someone return to cubing. But:

know only about 15 F2L cases

@evil_christ , I would highly suggest learning F2L intuitively (actually, I would suggest switching to ZZ or Roux), before I switched to zz, aside from watching a video on F2l to start my speed solving, I figured out F2L on my own. I think it gives you a better understanding of the cube and forces you to realize what is actually happening.

[Jason Green]

@GenTheThief some people do two races in the same thread. Either use other scrambles, or by the time you do 12 solves using the same ones may not help you much. I don't know if it's here or race to sub 20 where someone was doing it now.
