Round 248

Average: 17.75
Times: 17.92, 19.27, 13.26, 18.17, 19.47, 19.11, 16.26, 19.31, (19.91), 17.24, 17.47, (12.74)

2 near misses with my pb - 13.26 and 12.74... I was just 0.05 away :/

Seems like removing my torpedoes on my Zhanchi after the 19.11s solve was a good idea.

Round 248
23.41
22.43, 21.42, 24.44, 21.19, 24.58, (19.82), 27.08, 25.39, 21.75, 24.42, (27.83), 21.44

These comps helped me get sub-30. Haven't seen much improvement in several months, maybe this will help. I think I'll do some practice solves 1st next time.
side note: my daughter was born today!!!

Round 249
23.37

22.93, 21.27, 22.79, 23.31, 21.51, 25.80, (28.46), 24.67, (19.15), 22.75, 22.99, 25.72

YAY first sub 20 solve for me in the race. Switching between different ways of practice and focusing on single steps that I'm struggling with, instead of simply solving again and again, is good.
