I think if I worked on my cross I would do a lot better. Seems when I can do a solid quick cross the rest of the solve goes really nicely, and if it's a bad cross I seem to fumble through the rest.

I think that's my best average in the race so far. I started off really nervous, those first two 22 solves could have been much better.

Wow! I actually made it on in 9th place!!! Woohoo!!!

Although, perhaps I should try the sub-25 competition? In any case, I prefer ao5, not ao12, so I find these competitions quite awkward. And my only centisecond timer is on the computer, which is not available all day.

What's wrong with Ao12? Surely it's not too many solves. And more solves means less dependence on luck.

Round 310 (OH)
Average: 27.53
25.53, 27.09, (23.81), 31.38, 24.09, 30.29, 29.57, 27.77, 25.85, 25.35, 28.39, (33.78)

That... was... horrendous. I was going to get the best time on the last one because F2L was awesome... then I totally messed up an E-perm which probably took me at >12 seconds more.

Schmidt : 23.05 (σ = 2.19) : R#310

23.88, 24.94, 21.52, 28.11, 23.19, 22.02, 17.84, 22.08, 21.09, 20.80, 29.41, 22.86

The first 6 and the last 5 solves was what made this ao12 bad.

The main problem is that my only centisecond timer is on the computer, which is not available all the time. And I find following scrambles very difficult as well.

From an endurance point of view there's no problem with ao12.

Finally! And it only took 311 rounds! (Well, admittedly, I missed a few, but not many.) (Note that I've now done approximately 300 rounds. That's 3600 solves I've done, just for this race alone.)

Round 311
19.37
17.96, 20.05, 19.31, (23.24), 18.63, 20.08, 20.19, 20.16, 20.68, 19.19, 17.41, (15.85)

And look at that - I didn't choke! Fantastic last few solves. Can you believe my highest counting solve was 20.68? Amazing.

Now I have to make it three weeks in a row. I have a feeling that could take a while.
