(22.93), 19.19, 21.28, 22.48, 20.38, 18.66, 21.09, 19.73, (14.34), 20.51, 20.24, 21.70 = 20.53

Another good average for me :D
The 14.34 was just amazing lookahead and it's my new PB !
I got way too stressed on the last solve though, because I was doing another great averagel... Oh, well 21.70 with SHAKING hands isn't too bad ^^'

Let me start out my post with some smilys: :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Ok, so to start, my ultimate was stolen ~1-2 months ago. I have had to practice with a store bought, and my times have been pretty bad (Which explains my extremely long abscence from this thread).
So today I got to borrow a cube:
Thanks Kevin Zhou (He goes to my school) for lending me your C2!

So.. I did my first average of 12 with a good cube in forever.. Note that I was like 21-23 average before; a sub 20 was rare:
(15.68)
17.33
18.04
18.94
17.59
19.17
(21.66)
18.97
19.48
19.80
17.99
= 18.67!!!!

:D


These were my first solves with the cube!
Again, thanks to Kevin!
(P. S., should I continue until I officially graduate, or should I just move on to sub 15 board?)

Round 104

19.53, 23.42, 26.18, 20.22, 23.96, 20.86, 25.65, 20.73, (28.00), (19.34), 21.62, 21.37 ==>>22.35

The last two rounds I have been really shaky with my hands, but I have gotten pretty good times. The practice I am putting in is really paying off :) Once I get rid of those 25+ second solves, I should be able to almost break 20.

Round 104
24.57
21.88, (19.50), 26.72, 24.37, 25.12, 23.86, 25.74, 22.88, 22.87, 27.06, 25.19, (28.49)

I'm practicing again, so of course I'm getting noticeably worse again. :(

Seriously, when I really practice, I wind up thinking too much when I'm solving, and even when I'm doing "competitive solves" like these, I can't help thinking too much, which slows me down.
