Racing to sub-20

Round 326
OH
17.48, 18.24, 16.71, 19.30, 19.40, 21.04, 19.70, 18.65, (24.30), 21.43, 18.57, (15.42) = 19.05
Wow, PB! Done right after a 7x7 solve and a 20 solve 5x5 session. Switching straight from big cubes to OH does wonders, the cube feels so small and easy to turn!

  12. L2 B' L2 B2 L2 U2 R2 F' L2 D' U2 L D2 U R' B' F2 D' U' L - 21.37

A12 = 21.70s. Shaved about a second from my previous time, so I'm happy to see some improvement.
 
Average 22.76. Wasn't in the mood - only 1 sub 20, which is terrible. Slower than my last Ao50. To give some impression of how bad this was, last solve LL was easy T OLL and cw U perm, and I still got a 22. Normally I'd be 17ish with that LL. Just awful.

Well after a few months of minimal cubing, my old hands do not appear to have lost much time but I could have done without the dip in solves 6-9. In a warm up Ao50 I got close to pbs for ao5 and ao12. Perhaps there is room for improvement yet :)

Round 326

Hi! I'm back.
It's been a while. Eager to get sub 20. Hope I get it soon.

(20.61), 29.14, 26.15, 23.23, (32.71), 21.56, 25.00, 23.38, 27.50, 25.73, 24.61, 23.02

avg 24.93
 
Round 326 23.90

22.25, 24.42+, (29.75), 19.88, 22.41, 18.08, 29.72, (12.06), 23.29, 27.03, 28.34, 23.55

Really inconsistent average, but a completely unexpected PB with the 12.06, beat my previous by 2.4 seconds. Not practised a lot this week though, been doing a lot of Roux solves rather than CFOP - hopefully I'll be in this thread for Roux before too long.

Sorry, its been almost 3 weeks or so since I last posted any times. I'll be here for sure, though, for the next couple of weeks.

lol... I just graduated Race to sub-25 and Race to sub-30 with no problem at all... averages like 22 and 23 and now this.
 
About time I got into this.

I've been practising lookahead. So many NL sub-19s!

Not as embarrassing. What's happened, though, is that I've forgotten a significant percentage of my OLLs. I knew them really well a few months ago - I can't believe how quickly they slip away when I don't practice.
 
Round: 327
Times: 21.17, 23.92, 21.85, 23.12, 20.22, 25.63, 17.38, 21.30, 20.86, 21.99, 17.37, 21.09

17.38 was NL, 17.37 was fail F2L with predicted PLL skip (r U R' U R U2 r' OLL).
