Racing to sub-20

Remember to warm up first!
The first 5 PLL's were U's (which makes this even more sad) The 5th was a wrong OLL so I did another OLL to get to the U PLL.

Something about leaving this thread made me slightly sad when I saw I needed another sub-20 to graduate the other day, now I can carry on for at least 3 more rounds.
