Round 160
Average: 25.90


Times:
19.98 - Good Solve
27.32 - Slipped grip on a PLL (happens often)
19.15 - Good Solve
31.83 - Spent at least 5 seconds for an edge to go with a corner during f2l. It was already attached to the corner and was a three move insertion. It's really sad how often I do that.
24.62 - Messed up cross (happens often, I think I was still preoccupied and upset over the previous solve)
22.95 -
24.66 -
24.91 -
27.40 - Missed spacebar to stop the timer the first time (cost about 1 second)
35.16 - Sadly, there were no mistakes in this solve, it was just really bad.
26.58
28.76

I did a 50 solve warmup, and my best time was 23.xx... go figure that I would get 2 sub 20's in the following three solves.

YEESS!! Graduation time!!!

Has been a few weeks time since my last post here, and i can already feel that i'm getting better. Although the average was a bit shaky and I failed sometimes, I still managed to pull off an average sub -20 and some good solves, like the 15.69!

10. 29.08
11. 26.56
12. 23.30

After having taken a break for about 3 months I've decided to try again. Last week I thought my times have improved but I guess that is sadly mistaken. They've actually gotten worse by at least 3-5 seconds. Oddly enough my times for the 4x4 have improved by at least 15 seconds. I don't understand........
