But at least now you know you're capable of it. I'm in the same boat but with sub-25... My first sub-25 Ao100 was almost a month ago, but I seem to be consistently hovering between 25.0x and 25.5x now. I'm sure we'll both get the times we want eventually. Keep practicing!

Thanks for the encouragement. Yeah, now I know it is within reach but it is a bit frustrating to feel that you are "going back" again. Progress is slower and slower. From January to April averages have improved by 2 seconds more or less so, globally sub-20 will not happen until probably August or something like that. For me it is just fine if I manage to get there. For sure I'll keep practicing because I enjoy it, and that's the most important part.

So, keep practicing!!!! :)

First sub-41 4x4 single: 37.46. Sunday contest. Nothing particularly lucky, just generally nice cases throughout the solve, and good lookahead. LL was double parity -> adjacent PLL parity, no other algs.

3x3 PBs!
14.009 ao12 Darn so close to sub 14, I tried to roll it but I couldn't.
15.182 ao50 I don't remember what my old PB was, but I'm oretty sure this beats it.
15.479 ao100 Yay! Finally a PB ao100. The average of the last 50 solves was 15.28 so I bet I can roll it tomorrow.
