I'm soo happy I finally learned full PLL and I just graduated in Sub-25. I thought the 33-second solves were going to mess me up but I just made it.

Round 179
Race to sub 25 (2/3)
Ao12 23.87

Very consistent this week, not very good times but neither very bad (except the one and the DNF)

 

[CubingBanana]

Have finally finished learning full OLL and had my first comp (video here), unfortunately got nervous and made to many errors, so didn't get an official sub 30 avg like I should have been able to.

A tip: when practicing, you should wear a hat or something like that so when it's comp day, you feel like you are still home.

Another first timer coming through.

Round 179
Race to Sub-30

Method: Roux with 2 look CMLL
Cube: The Valk 3

Ao12: 35.75

38.62, (44.64), 37.79, 39.24, 32.31, 36.55, 39.52, 36.53, (29.54), 30.98, 32.90, 33.10

Overall not too satisfied with the result, I locked up too frequently and some of those high 30's could've easily been low 30's if my recognition was better. I also feel like I still need too many moves for my blocks, especially the second one.

 

[theos]

Round 179
Race to sub-25
ZZ (OCLL, PLL)
Moyu Aolong V2
Ao12: 29.43

23.84, 31.60, (49.78), (21.54), 29.25, 25.54, 23.58, 22.82, 36.27, 39.90, 37.60, 23.90

I think this is my worst Ao12 since graduating sub-30 (including many practice runs). Don't know how it happened as I had 3 practice runs earlier that were in the 25 second ballpark.

Spoiler: Notes

2. Very very slow on 1st F2L block
3. Somehow messed up my A perm
4. Good time without doing anything amazing on the solve
5. Slow F2L
8. Very easy F2L; was pretty slow on PLL otherwise would have been a really good time
9. Messed up EO and took ages to fix it
10. Messed up EO and didn't notice it until OLL and had to go back and fix F2L; then slow on A perm trying not to make same mistake as solve #3
11. Slow on EO-Line and on beginning of F2L
12. Included an F2L pair skip

Round 179
Race to sub: 25
Method: CFOP,Full OLL & PLL, white cross
Cube: QiYi Valk3 Magnetic Stickerless
Ao12 24.18

22.09 (20.44) 23.99 26.55 22.22 (28.14) 23.42 28.00 21.65 25.66 24.77 23.44

Very nice avg for me, still think I will struggle to get three in a row. Ao50, 100 and 1000 are still 25.5 ish.
Did get my first Ao5 below 20s yesterday at 19.19 - 17.92 (26.76) 20.63 (16.04) 18.99, few easy solves and a PLL skip helped.

Welcome back. First comp nightmares happened to a lot of us. Think of it as setting an easy target to beat next time.

The problem is there hasn't been a comp in Brisbane since Sept 2015, had to travel interstate for this one so might be a while. till my next comp. At least I should be able to really smash my official PB then

A tip: when practicing, you should wear a hat or something like that so when it's comp day, you feel like you are still home.

Maybe I will try something like that, maybe an orange hoody , but I think it was more the quickly sit down do you solve, get up wait, quickly sit down etc that I wasn't expecting. May just do some practice that better matches comp day procedure.

I've finally started to get faster at 3x3. I've broke my pb single and avg several times during the last week. Now I didn't do any warm-up so I could do much better. Maybe I'll do more solves and try starting race to sub-20 today.
