This was not a lucky time. I encountered
every step and had to put in every edge/corner pair. I am working on improving my F2L
times and this time went particularly fast for me though it was not lucky. I thought I
would NEVER break my record after I didn't get any times even close to it for a few
months. Recently I have been getting times around the 15's more often and this one has
been my fastest so far. Hopefully I will get better at my F2L times and be able to get
times around this consistently. Next I work on improving my average of ten. |

Though most of the moves that I performed
were among my fastest, technically this was not a lucky time as I performed the extent of
my solution method, skipping no steps. |

A bit lucky, but now that I am training
