Racing to sub-20

Round 222

ave: 25.73

26.43, 23.16, 26.62, 25.77, 28.76, 23.70, 34.14, 24.50, 23.28, 27.39, 21.90, 27.73

It amazes me how some solves that feel exceptionally fast are not, and vice versa.

I felt like this the entire session too. Aside from my 21, all of my good solves felt slow and my 27's and 28 felt fast! I'm happy I had more slow feeling good solves then the opposite if that makes any sense. the 34 couldn't be explained any better then by Carson's comment at the end of his session! Good average for me though.

Actually, that made a lot of sense. If you felt slow but had a good time then you're happy because it means you could have done better by just going a little faster. The opposite is that you felt you went fast but got a bad time which seems to imply that you couldn't have done it faster. But on the original post by Carson, I totally agree and I really don't know how it happens sometimes although usually I can tell without looking at the timer how much time passed to within a second or two.

The 16.20 was a non lucky PB with an N-perm too!

Hadn't warmed up before this so the cube locked up way more than it should have :/. Still glad with the average though

Round 222

Section: Illumini

Average: 17.82

15.76, 18.75, 17.70, 15.75, 19.57, 18.24, 17.44, 14.90, 19.79, 20.72, 19.72, 15.43

Comment: Hope you dont mind if I rejoin in the illumini section for a few weeks Mike. Have a comp coming up and really need to work at fixing my sub 20 avg jinx. Better than average for me (ao100 sub 18.5). Tried to turn really slow with minimal pauses and was generally pleased.

Round 222 - Alumini

18.52, 18.10, 17.78, 16.03, 18.27, 15.59, (18.96), 18.15, 15.76, 18.91, 16.70, (14.54)

Average: 17.38

SOOOO happy with this average, extrememly consistent ... haven't been practising much because of work experience.

TPS + decent lookahead = really good times.

non lucky 14 on last solve and no sup 19's at all, even when I had a pop on the 18.96..

Not leaving just yet :P

Round 222
Speed (LBL+Keyhole F2L Hybrid)
Ao12: 48.000

1. 42.48
2. 55.49
3. 40.88
4. 55.25
5. 40.99
6. 48.58
7. 41.09
8. 53.36
9. 51.20
10. 50.63
11. (61.83)
12. (32.98)

Last solve was pretty epic. The cross was really easy to see, and I simultaneously filled 2 corners while making the cross, furthermore there was an OLL skip and a T-permutation, which is the only corners+edges fixing PLL I know.

Solve #11 was pretty bad. I don't know what I messed up though, probably something in F2L. :/

I concluded look ahead is definitely something for me to work on thanks to this session.

Just started to really focus on look ahead. Scores are getting better. Most of the bad ones was when my dad distracted me.
