Racing to sub-20

If I actually practiced and learned full OLL I could easily be sub-20.

So... practice and learn full OLL? ;-)

I've been meaning to learn full OLL for MONTHS, but I've been too lazy! Think on some solves it would make a good 2-4 second difference for me. Finally dedicating some time to OLL, but finding it hard to use my 1-look algs when moving fast.

Practice, practice, practice, I guess?!
 
Well here's mine. I'm a little late but screw it. 20.23, 16.65, 20.88, 17.42, 20.38, 18.25, 18.93, 19.25, 20.53, 17.50, 22.07, 20.10. The final average was 19.35. Decent average.. Not my best times but whatever..

So sorry to fall behind a round; I'll simply call round 304 a one-week round and pick up where we left off.

Round 305
21.22
23.24, 18.26, (17.68), 23.67, 18.13, (24.98), 18.40, 20.84, 22.84, 22.13, 21.16, 23.56

Ugh, so many mistakes. This was done immediately after my first ever sub-21 average of 100. (20.93) On the bright side, I'm quite sure this is the first time I've ever been disappointed with a time this good. Just a couple of weeks ago I would have been really happy with this average.
 
Schmidt : 23.37 (σ = 2.10) : Race to sub 20 : R#305

22.18, 20.15, 26.65, 25.71, 23.80, 21.93, 23.83, 20.25, 20.52, 23.84, 25.65, 26.00

I just graduated the race to sub 25 with a time that was better than this one :(
 
Round 305: 20.52 Ao12 (ZZ-b)

21.76, (28.85), 19.17, (17.54), 20.23, 22.13, 21.92, 18.59, 22.94, 21.35, 19.07, 18.03

comments:
on a whim i did this round, ZZ-b, my thoughts after finishing are "ok, why can't i get nice ZZLLs like this in practice lol"

The 28.85 i derped and got confused during phasing so that threw off my solve, but overall i got a surprisingly good average xD, quite literally got mostly T and like a few H ZZLLs, 1 Pi that i just corner cycled into a T case, and H and L cases that i happened to actually know can be used as ZZLLs, so basically, a luckily nice set of scrambles
 
Round 305: 26.62

24.20, (35.44), 25.43, 28.48, 25.87, 28.78, 26.27, 32.43, 24.29, 21.05, (16.73), 29.42

I was having a really bad average and then for some reason got maybe my 5th fastest solve second to last. It didn't even feel that fast, I just looked up when I stopped the timer and said "holy ****." Still, 2 sup-30s is pretty sloppy.
 
Round 305

Ave: 21.45

19.03, 22.86, 19.41, 22.35, 20.25, 22.55, 22.80, 19.51, 25.48, 20.84, 21.16, 22.77

A few of those solves should have been sub 20 but I have to be happy with this round. overall consistent with only one solve over 23 seconds!
 
Round 305:
Average: 20.94
Times:21.47, 22.84, 23.53, 20.70, 19.02, 18.05, (16.69), 21.50, 21.64, 20.34, (24.45), 20.28
Pretty good. Nice to have no sup-25's
