Round 149

Average = 26.64

Times
1. 31.01
2. DNF
3. 27.21
4. 22.83
5. 26.21
6. 32.12
7. 25.30
8. 25.85
9. 23.48
10. 26.37
11. 23.74
12. 25.10

It was awful. Two sup-30 and a DNF. The slowest was a messed up PLL. Which was a long time since I did. The rest was just bad overall. But got better towards the end.

It's frustrating when you feel like you go backwards and get worse.

I just graduated from the sub-30 race, spent 6 weeks there, I presume I will be in this one much longer :). Were these lolscrambles because that is definitely my best average of 12 so far, they seemed pretty easy. anyway I look forward to some more competition to get my times faster.

Round 150
Average: 26.17

Times:

The 19.98 should have been significantly faster; I did OLL from the wrong angle, and had to do it twice.
It seems that I am getting worse.

Another bad round. The two last rounds I was more relaxed because I got frustrated and didn't care anymore, and those were good solves.

Consolation to CommaYou, who came as close as possible to graduating without doing so, thanks to a 20.003 average this round. (And yes, I consider sub-20 to actually be less than 20 seconds, so even 20.000 won't qualify.)

Yuxuibbs is just one round away from graduating - good luck next round!

Alumni (these people have already achieved sub-20 three times with no over 20 results in between, and therefore are considered to have graduated):
  1. RyanReese09 13.89
  2. Shikhar Mohan 17.97

Congratulations to everyone!
