I'm beginning to have this with sub-11s now. I still only have the one sub-10 though... and because of it sup-10s just aren't important any more.
A year ago, I'd never have thought I'd say that last bit.

Yep! I think it's because once you get certain times semi frequently they aren't as exciting anymore. I never even dreamed of a SINGLE even close to my average a year ago haha.

True for all times I think. 2 months ago a 19s solve was exciting, now it's meh... Not bad, but could be better. At least not over 20s :)

Got this today:

number of times: 50/50
best time: 12.54
worst time: 23.04

current avg5: 17.48 (σ = 1.15)
best avg5: 14.63 (σ = 0.28)

current avg12: 17.93 (σ = 2.11)
best avg12: 16.69 (σ = 1.74)

session avg: 18.04 (σ = 2.35)
session mean: 18.03

Needs moar consistency. My cross and first pair suck :/
Messed up quite a few OLLs and PLLs as well :/ PB avg12 though, finally sub 17 :D

12.54: R L' D' F' D R' U2 F' R B2 F' D2 B R' L' B D' L F2 U R2 D R2 L2 D2

Yeah... I just get all the bad times semi frequently too. I just got a new PB Ao12:
Best average of 12: 14.08
4-15 - (11.40) 15.18 13.45 13.86+ 16.42 14.11 (17.92) 13.03 15.12 13.24 13.55 12.81
and most of the solves except the sub-12s (one with a +2) didn't feel fast at all. It just felt normal. My times are so spread out I get fast averages without even noticing.

4LLL is helping me speed up times a lot! I hoped to get 1 sub1 time this week but now my avg 5 and 12 is sub 1 :D, still don't know all the algorithms tough.

My Weilong and AoSu got here today. Already got a 4x4 PB avg12:

3rd PB average of 12 in 3 days: 13.97
25-36 - 13.34 12.45 15.92 15.70 (11.45) (15.95) 13.11 13.30 14.93 14.38
I think a couple of days ago I did one of my random one and a half second improvements. I wish I could improve consistently :( I think I'm now sub-15 though, which is good.
E: 14.80 Ao50
E2: 56.55 4x4 single, NL. I saved 5 seconds not pausing between last cross edge and L8E... that's definitely the worst part of my sovles atm. OLL parity.
