I hope to be at this race soon! 
I am still working on Sub-35 on 3x3 in my race.

Race to Sub-30 and Race to Sub 25

Didn't have time to practice this week, nevertheless I managed to sub25 again. Kinda cheated on like 2 solves by not doing 2 sided PLL recognition. Seems like I've gotten used to this new cube and a few new PLLs tho.

Round 219
Race to Sub-30
ZZ
Ao12: 2:00.43
1:53.23, 1:50.35, 1:49.31, 1:37.32, 2:31.80, (2:49.05), (1:06.38), 2:18.86, 2:04.83, 1:56.26, 2:08.92, 1:51.42
Lower Lows and lower Highs. Best single from last week was 2:13, and I beat that with my ao12 by 13 seconds. Haven't done much except learn a few COLLs (T cases) and continuing to practice. After I learn full COLL/EPLL, I'm going to stop learning LL algs and just focus on F2L and EO-Line. Probably I should learn the rest of PLL at some point too, but that can wait. EO is getting much more natural, bit by bit, and there were even one or two solves where I took the BD and/or FD pieces into account in solving the last 2 or 4 edges. Another change from last week is that I've gotten more comfortable solving 2 bad edges to the point where I actually find it's easier than 4 due to how easy it usually is to turn 2 bad edges from anywhere on the cube into 4 bad edges on the F or B face. That's also making 6 a bit easier, too.
Not sure if it's a bad habit or not, but I've started to do EO-Line in 3 parts, give or take, particularly with 6 or more bad edges. First I eliminate 4 bad edges on the B face, and then I have less than 7 edges that could be bad (at least one is usually a good edge that was moved off the B face). Then I finish EO and Line. Still not sure if that's a bad habit and I should focus on doing it all in one step, or if I should just keep splitting it up like that and slowly blend the steps together until I'm just doing full EO-Line in all but name. Probably just a question of pedagogy, given that the aim of both approaches is to end up in the same spot (doing EO-Line as one step as efficiently as possible).

It seemed like i was doing well for most of it, but those 2 bad times ruined the average so I can't get sub 30 this week. I think I can handle the cube now, but I just need more practice to avoid stupid mistakes.

Cannot complain, last week was better than average for me and no OH practice in the week since getting sub 40 in comp. Been too preoccupied with BLD this week. Hope to get more practice in the next week.

Just like last week, I didn't have time to practice at all. In fact, some of my 2side recognition seems to have regressed. Nevertheless I'm very used to the cube now so I still went below 25. Now to work on consistency, high 20s should not be a thing anymore.

Also, in last weeks race I had 120.43 ao12, not 200.43; sorry for the confusion, I'll make sure to put the ao12s in seconds from here on out.
I had some really good solves, and some really bad ones this week. Ended up beating my previous ao12, but only by ~3 seconds, so hardly a statistically significant amount. Haven't had the time this past week to work much on the cube, and some of that time was wasted trying to grok 3-cycles and Heise, so I'm not too surprised by that. I think I'll save Heise for after I'm a LOT more comfortable with the cube.
Also beat my 1:06.38 single from last week with a 1:03.06, so that's nice. Finished it off on the final solve with a Sune (or maybe it was AS? same idea) straight into a Z-perm. EO+Line and F2L was pretty choppy on that solve (and all of them, really), but I'm still happy with that last solve to seal the sub-2:00 ao12.
EDIT: wrong round number in post header corrected.

Round 222
Race to Sub-30
ZZ
ao12: 78.33
1:10.15, 1:23.46, 1:24.22, 1:25.34, 1:08.63, 1:23.74, 59.62, 1:17.78, 1:00.97, (1:51.79), 1:49.34, (54.28)
Beat my 1:03.06 single from last week first with a 59.62, and then again with my final solve of 54.28, netting me two sub-60 solves. Solves 10 and 11 were train wrecks in comparison, but still would have been decent by last week's standard, and things finished off with a new pb, so I'm overall very happy with the times this week.
While I'm still lagging behind at learning the U COLL cases, I was able to use them a few times this week, even if I had to follow it up with a CPLL. So that was a contributing factor to my improved times this week (plus getting more practice in, especially regarding my EPLL execution), but I think the biggest factor was that until this week, I've been using a (badly tensioned and never lubed) Dayan Zhanchi, and I got a new Valk 3 Monday evening. I'm not sure how much of it is the cube, and how much of it is how badly maintained the Zhanchi was, but it felt as extreme as the difference between a Rubik’s Cube and the Zhanchi.
Now that I'm (give or take) around how fast I was back when I first got the Zhanchi (I was using LBL with keyhole corners for F2L, and a weird 4LLL with orient edges, solve edges, permutate corners, solve corners), and as I approach the times where there's less low hanging fruit to improve times, I expect progress to begin slowing down by some exponential function. Still holding out hope for a sub-60 ao12 within the next few weeks, though.
