I'm back! Missed last round, because i cut my finger pretty bad, and i couldn't cube worth a hoot. This was a pretty bad average though compared to the 22ish second averages I did have, although I was getting better toward the end.

This pretty much sums it up:
Nightmarishly, horrifyingly bad.

Round 141

Average: 20.48


16.91, 21.70, 21.24, 21.75, 22.48, 20.38, 22.91, 19.44, 21.78, 18.99, 17.56, 19.47

Wow! Spent the last few days trying to find the 'sweet spot' on F2L speed for optimal lookahead but maintaining a good pace and some work on cross to F2L transition. Felt I have been on a pleateau for a while. Then the other day beat my prior longish standing 20.8 Ao12 with a 20.12 which was part of a Ao100 of 21.61. Thought it may be just beena good day but this average felt really good. Sub 20 for UK Open in November is actually beginning to feel achievable. 2nd best Ao12 ever for me but still searching for the elusive first sub 20 ao12 :)

number of times: 12/12
best time: 16.91
worst time: 22.91

current avg5: 19.30 (σ = 0.22)

session avg: 20.48 (σ = 1.49)
