2020 Race to sub-x on a 3x3

Week 27

Goal: sub 25
Average: 25.56
Cube: Valk 3
Comment: I'm getting closer to my goal. Comparison with the previous week: my fastest solves are worse (no sub 23) but my slowest solves are better (none above 30)

2. (23.03)

12. 27.22
 
Goal: Sub-10.33 (My WCA Official ao5)
Cube:GAN354X
Average of 12: 11.03
Comment: I think these 12 solves are not my real level. Only 2 SUB-10s in them. My last 5 solves are really bad. There were many long pauses during these solves. Maybe I didn't refresh myself this week. I will come here next week again.

By the way, I used Speedstacks to record the timer. So it was also something I didn't do well like starting or stoping the timer.lololololol

Goal: sub-26
Cube: GAN 356X
Comment: This week I practiced a lot more after my bad performance of last week. I did four ao12's as a warm-up and my final ao12 was 22.62. During my real ao12 I was again a bit nervous, so I choked a few times. After solve 6 and 7 I decided to play it save, so I wouldn't mess it up.

The last 12 solves are from week 27, I saw the Scramble of Week 28 just now, so I will solve another 12 solves this time.
Goal: Still Sub-10.33
Cube: Still GAN356X
Average of 12: 10.84
Comment: This list is much better than last list. Half of thtem are Sub-10. But I got many bad records then. Especially I felt nervous after solve 4 and 5. Luckily, thanks to these Sub-10s, I didn't mess everything up. I will make better efforts this week for Week 29's chances. Let's improve and encourage each other together. Fighting!
(I will have a Final-exam on Jul.11th, but I will continue cubing, here we go!)

Your ao12 isn't sub 45. You can only set one goal, not sub 45/50. I'll take sub 45 as your goal. This week you missed your goal.
