Round 156
Average: 22.94

Times:
24.95, 20.27, 26.85, 20.68, (20.13), 21.83, 21.88, 24.11, 26.12, (DNF(21.67)), 20.67, 22.08

This average felt really nice, and I believe it may be the fastest I have posted in this thread. I still don't know what happened with the DNF. I had a "righty" J perm, and looked up as I was executing it. When I stopped the timer, I looked at the cube and it was completely jumbled... it looked freshly scrambled. Had the DNF counted, the average would have been 22.43.

Round 156
22.10
19.84, 23.76, 23.42, 21.45, 21.62, (29.06), 19.08, 21.68, 24.84, (16.16), 20.39, 24.88

Other than the 16.16, this average felt terrible. But I guess that means I must have improved, since 6 months ago, anything this close to 22 would have been good for me.

26.43, 21.78, 33.85, 23.16, 26.92, 23.96, 23.97, 24.33, 26.05, 24.47, 23.05, 27.42 = avg 24.98

Sorry, bit late... Was busy last weekend, had my first tournament (Dutch Open)

Round 155

Hmmm... feels like I'm in the wrong competition...

Started great then got a bit shaky. After solve 11 the session average was 19.99 so I knew I needed a sub 20 and did not feel confident but got a good solve. Those members following this thread in recent months will probably recall me saying I am improving going really slow, then speeding up, then going slow etc etc. I think I found what was holding me back from sub20. Yes I was looking ahead all the time having tried to use that advice from starting speed cubing. However the point at which I switched from the inserting pair to tracking next was too late. I would still be looking at the inserting pair for 3-4 turns then switching, those turns make all the difference. However I have done that for so many months it a real battle getting my eyes to switch earlier as it is what I have done for months. When I can persuade them and my brain it usually a sub 20 average, just need to make it so its second nature.
