So... I've decided to switch to Roux completely as of this time last week so I guess I'm starting the "race to..." again. This set of solves is EASILY my best set of timed solves so far. I'm in two minds whether or not to make the target 50 seconds or even 45 as I'm expecting to hit certainly the former by next week.

Solve 10 is my PB with Roux by more than 5 seconds incidentally - that was a full step solve and although the blocks / pairs were pretty easy to spot and construct, it gives me hope that I might be able to get back down below 30 seconds at some point!

My times are a little all over the place at the moment but the solve time graph trajectory is down so I'm not complaining too much - inconsistency is caused mainly by struggling to find pairs / edges for the second block which can add a surprising amount of time. Had a few times in the 30s now and a new Roux PB of 31.7 which is encouraging!

Round: 65
Cube: Gan 354 M
Race: Sub-60
Method: LEOR

Ao12: 1:28.21 [0/3]
95% CI: (1:27.37+-28.72)

1. 1:25.85
2. 1:35.14
3. 1:12.34 Easy EO-M into easy RB into OCLL into E-perm. LB wasn't bad, either.
4. 1:31.92 EO-M is beginning to feel easier. This is the first solve for which I felt sufficent confidence to go immediately on to RB without double checking for unoriented edges.
5. 1:42.20
6. 1:45.84
7. 1:25.81
8. 1:31.69
9. (1:46.43)
10. 1:06.02 Lucky LB followed by an EO-M I could do in only one alg after setup, and by the time I hit the timer, it was a 66.xx solve. I didn't think it was that good, but yay!
11. (59.83) EO skip.
12. 1:25.35

This went far better than I expected. I expected to be getting a 2:00+ ao12. I certainly never expected to get a sub-60 single. I think finishing COLL, improving RB, improving EO-M slash making it smoother, and learning to actually be not completely atrocious at FB/LB will make my times more consistent. So... basically everything.

@Lux, I went back and looked at when you did Round 62 and you got 26.18 which is not sub-26. I am not sure if you are saying that you did get sub-26 or not so I just wanted to make it clear

Good luck everyone!

My first sub-40 Ao12 - been coming for a couple of days now and would have been earlier if I was able to do more than a few solves per day. Block building is starting to make a bit of sense and I can find the pairs / squares a bit more easily now. PB with Roux is now 27.11 and the number of solves in the mid-low 30s is starting to increase. I'm finding that my times with Roux are a LOT more consistent (albeit it with the odd time in 50s+...) - I guess there's something about the method that promotes that which is nice.

I'm an idiot I wrote round 62 twice. It was a post of August 24th, but I'll take this round regardless to avoid me messing again!


Good luck everyone!
