Race to Sub-30 and Race to Sub 25

Round 12
Race to sub 25 OH
Average: 28.49


30.18 28.51 28.96 27.35 26.47 28.91 (25.26) (31.98) 27.80 28.95 30.49 27.23

Back to normal :)
I warmed up with a sub 25 avg5, but of course that couldn't continue when it mattered...
 
Race to sub-30: NM Roux

27.39

28.63, (DNF(20.50)), 21.38, 30.11, 29.40, (20.17), 25.33, 23.55, 27.84, 27.37, 30.95, 29.32

Definitely getting better at figuring out CMLL, got a few successful one-looks in there.
 
Round: 12
Race: to sub-30 CFOP
AVG: 28.88

25.32, 25.93, 30.85, 28.34, 31.70, 30.97, 28.32, 30.75, 28.24, 32.46, 24.11, 28.35

Really pretty happy with this one. A bit more consistent and made the goal. I was pretty confident that I would make it this week (and hopefully going forward). Practice has been yielding slow but steady improvement for awhile now and I hope I can continue to improve.
 
Round 12 (Roux)
Race to sub-25
Average: 29.00
30.34, 28.48, 30.78, 26.89, (25.65), 28.46, 28.71, 26.66, 30.37, 31.08, 28.21, (31.23)

I totally lost motivation for 3BLD again. My Roux times are pretty bad. Graduated sub-30 with Roux quite awhile back and didn't bother doing more. This is what comes of not practicing I guess.

I am no longer doing the Race to Sub-30 with Roux. I am now doing the Race to Sub-25 with CFOP.

I highly doubt that I will do this kind of thing again. I apologize for any inconvenience Brian.
 
Round 12
Race to sub-30
CFOP


Avg of 12: 29.44

Number of solves: 12
Best Time: 23.28
Worst Time: 32.47

Individual Times:
28.70, 30.82, 25.72, 28.07, 31.42, (32.47), 30.25, 32.13, 30.02, (23.28), 27.58, 29.65


After a cubing break of several weeks I'll try again... Even if I already graduaded in the old sub-30 thread, I start at the 30-seconds barrier again, since my times are some seconds slower than before the break and sub-30 times are not that common yet.

So I'm happy with the times in this round :)

It's really no problem... switch back anytime.

Round: 13
Event: 3x3 on 4x4
Average: 29.55
26.30, (39.94), 29.47, 26.75, 28.38, 27.81, 36.31, 31.33, 29.72, 32.18, 27.28, (26.11)

Just barely made it, the 39 was N perm which I don't know, so I did 2L OLL and got a Z perm which I don't know in 2 gen yet. :D
 
Race to sub-25: NM Roux

26.61

25.67, 32.34, 32.33, 21.91, 28.33, (34.34), 24.29, 23.14, 32.34, (21.45), 22.82, 22.92

I've changed to the race to sub-25 as I've improved quicker than expected. I might put learning new CMLL algs on hold and go through the ones I know to learn NM recognition for them. Some are really easy, but some are really sucky. I did get a sub-25 Ao12 earlier though, and a 16.xx with NM blocks when doing a normal average which was awesome.
 
Round: 13
Race: to sub-30
AVG: 27:28

25.55, 26.13, 32.83, 23.91, 35.79, 28.62, 25.02, 29.35, 24.20, 27.03, 30.11, 23.69

Super stoked about this one for a bunch of reasons. 1) I have been attempting to become color neutral recently (I'm not there quite yet so did white cross for all scrambles for this race) and was afraid that it would mess with my original main color. I am actually surprised that it is having almost the reverse effect. Learning CN is forcing me to focus so much on the F2L pairs that I find myself absolutely forced to look ahead and not look at the insertion of the pair. It is always said in improvement/advice threads to not pay attention to the pair that you are inserting in order to look ahead, which I always attempted to take to heart, but I think sometimes the brain wants to focus on what it knows. Being forced to focus on the NEXT piece has helped me greatly. 2) I haven't practiced at all today. I wasn't going to submit my race today since I have limited time to cube, but I decided that with the holiday the week I would be busy and this would be my only opportunity to post so I went for it and am really happy with the results. 3) my best Ao12 posted here so far- 6 sub-27's including 3 sub-25's. :)
 
Race to sub 25 CFOP
Round 13

25.10, 27.31, 26.67, 22.91, 27.73, 37.92, 28.19, 32.46, 25.75, 33.10, 20.14, 27.06

Average: 27.63

Really struggled with consistency today, getting closer and closer to getting sub 20 singles in every ao12 though which is nice.
 
Round: 13
Event: Roux
Race to: sub-30
Times: 31.42, 30.42+, 28.33, 27.25, 28.24, 33.17, 20.35, 31.14, 30.41, 17.20, 26.58, 1:23.62
Average of 12: 27.83

Explosion on the last solve. Assembled orientations correctly, but not permutation. That 10th scramble was nice.
EDIT: going to try a prepared solve using that 10th scramble. I used optimal blocks/LSE from jarcs. Solution is:
B' D' U2 L' D U' F' L' B' F D2 U2 B2 U L2 F2 L B2 L' F U2 B' F2
y2
R' U2 B2
R2 U' R U r2 U' M2 U' R'
U2 R U R' U R U L' U R' U' L
U' M U2 M' U M' U2 M' U2 M U' M' U
This'll be my first attempt at a prepared solve using Roux. Let's see if I'm actually good at this type of solving without lookahead.
EDIT2: 11.09 first try. EDIT3: 8.75 third try.
EDIT4: 7.80
