Round 297 (OH)
Average: 27.84
33.66, 24.71, 21.29, 25.81, 30.08, 32.46, 25.49, (20.97), 34.56, 21.82, 28.53, (34.71)
Some really bad times and some really good times. I'm not surprised about average though because I haven't done any 3x3 at all today really and last time I did OH was Round 296...

seemed like a promising round at first! Then the link between my brain and my fingers was lost. Last four solves were brutal!

That was disappointing, especially considering I had a 17 second single solve just before I started this...

Edit: and an 18.89 solve right AFTER. wut. -___-

i kept overshooting though, need to retension my cube badly and a relube couldn't hurt. i'll still participate here though until i get like sub 20 Ao100, don't feel like i'm sub 20 yet tbh

First timer

Round 298 - 25.38

27.25, (17.66), 32.35, 24.27, 21.62, (38.54), 25.09, 22.50, 21.46, 24.69, 30.49, 24.09

Times were all over the place, from one of my best to one of my worst (in the past 200 solves, I've had none slower than the 38, and only one faster than the 17 which was a PB). Too many screwed up PLLs too, so this was a bit worse than I would have expected. Still, only way is up - or down, as it were.

Round 298

Ave: 24.29

24.57, 18.54, 24.92, 21.38, 30.27, 27.40, 24.34, 21.28, 21.85, 24.33, 31.19, 22.52

I'm so angry after this round I almost didn't post it. Just when I thought I was getting closer to sub 20... I'm getting worse and have no idea why...

Hi all :) been practising 4 and 5 a lot recently, come to the realisation that not being sub-20 on 333 is kinda holding me back, so I'm gonna try and finally break that barrier :)

Round 298
Average of 12: 21.35
21.96 19.06 (24.25) 23.81 (17.63) 24.11 22.21 17.94 20.55 17.96 22.96 22.97

There would've been a sub-20 ao5 in there probably if I'd not done the U-perm on solve 12 wrong, just panicked I guess ^^;
This is a fairly good average for me, normally I'm at like 22-23. Hopefully I can keep up this pace, though :)

Schmidt : Race to sub-20 : R#298 : 24.80 (σ = 2.40)

23.35, 19.82, 28.33, 23.78, 20.98, 23.06, 35.42, 27.34, 26.83, 26.30, 22.54, 25.51

I thought a few days without timing solves was supposed to improve skills. Perhaps not :(
