Decided to move over to this thread since I graduated Race to Sub-25. Probably won't be able to hit sub-20 ao12 for at least a month though. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with this ao12, hopefully next time is better :)

Round 527
Method: ZZ
Average of 12: 22.22

20.83, (18.51), 19.28, 21.55, (29.75), 20.68, 24.04, 21.93, 25.19, 24.92, 22.66, 21.13

Seemed to start off strong, but then progressively got worse. Too many 24's and the counting 25 really ruined this average.

Round 527

Method: CFOP (white cross)
Cube: Valk 3 Stickerless
AO12: 18.65
18.09, 18.86, 17.01, 20.29, 15.55, 20.44, (21.48), 18.38, 18.79, 19.11, (14.71), 19.98

There were definitely some easy white crosses in there, but I'll take it. I don't get a lot of sub 19 ao12's. Feels good. I got my Gans 356 Air today and did a handful of solves. It needs a lot of work if it's going to compete with the Valk 3. I'll try and do a Yellow cross average before I close the round tomorrow.

Method: CFOP (yellow cross)
Cube: Gans 356 (at the office, no Valk 3)
AO12: 21.32
22.14, (31.29), 20.59, 18.74, 21.02, 22.01, 19.75, 23.87, 20.87, 24.20, 19.23, (15.75)

Still wildly inconsistent, but much better than last week. The 4th, 7th and 12th solves were better on yellow cross than white. This tells me that if I can improve my consistency with yellow cross, I could go dual CN and improve my times overall by giving me a second option when white cross stinks, or when yellow is too good to pass up.

No worries, I won't update the images in the closing post, but I'll update my spreadsheet to include your result for round 527.

Graduated! Yeah!!! Thanks for the motivation guys! I'm going to race sub 15 now! Thanks again!
Congrats again, and good luck in the sub 15 thread!

@hagner and @ElectricDoodie So close! Don't worry, you'll get it. I did the exact same thing on my 3rd attempt several times before I graduated... and I'm still here :p

Think I might finally be comfortable leaving this race. Only 2 sup-20's, and only by 0.02 seconds combined! Just noticed 3 15s back-to-back, wow! It's been a pleasure, everyone. Good luck to those who are struggling - put away the timer, it works wonders. And learn full OLL...
