Racing to sub-20

[Zoé]

(22.93), 19.19, 21.28, 22.48, 20.38, 18.66, 21.09, 19.73, (14.34), 20.51, 20.24, 21.70 = 20.53

Another good average for me
The 14.34 was just amazing lookahead and it's my new PB !
I got way too stressed on the last solve though, because I was doing another great averagel... Oh, well 21.70 with SHAKING hands isn't too bad ^^'

 

[minime12358]

Let me start out my post with some smilys:
Ok, so to start, my ultimate was stolen ~1-2 months ago. I have had to practice with a store bought, and my times have been pretty bad (Which explains my extremely long abscence from this thread).
So today I got to borrow a cube:
Thanks Kevin Zhou (He goes to my school) for lending me your C2!

So.. I did my first average of 12 with a good cube in forever.. Note that I was like 21-23 average before; a sub 20 was rare:
(15.68)
17.33
18.04
18.94
17.59
19.17
(21.66)
18.97
19.48
19.80
17.99
= 18.67!!!!




These were my first solves with the cube!
Again, thanks to Kevin!
(P. S., should I continue until I officially graduate, or should I just move on to sub 15 board?)

Round 104

19.53, 23.42, 26.18, 20.22, 23.96, 20.86, 25.65, 20.73, (28.00), (19.34), 21.62, 21.37 ==>>22.35

The last two rounds I have been really shaky with my hands, but I have gotten pretty good times. The practice I am putting in is really paying off Once I get rid of those 25+ second solves, I should be able to almost break 20.

I'm practicing again, so of course I'm getting noticeably worse again.

Seriously, when I really practice, I wind up thinking too much when I'm solving, and even when I'm doing "competitive solves" like these, I can't help thinking too much, which slows me down.

 

[SixSidedCube]

Come on Mike! YOU CAN DO IT!

 

[EricReese]

Mike what is the breakdown of your solves? I assume full PLL/OLL?
