Maybe you were already sub 25 when you started this.
I can go to the sub 20 race when I'm sub 15 and say "WOO I GRADUATED ON MY FIRST 3 TRIES!!!!!!!!!!111!!!!!11111!!11"

Thanks! In the past 6 months I have had several flukes. It seemed that I became faster, but after a day all speed was gone. This time the speed has stayed. I have had many Ao12 sub 26 and quite a few sub 25.. ;)

I know you gave credit to your Weilong, but I believe your improvement must be down to much more than that. Probably lookahead and transitions are more consistent and maybe you're turning faster too, but anyway, it's great news that you're off your plateau and hopefully this will unblock a big burst of improvement! :)

Yes, I did a Ao12 of 24.xx on a Zhanchi this morning. I think the best explanation about my sudden improvement (if you want to call it that) is that I watched a video of (I think) Zane. A BLD solver that described how to deal with competition anxiety. He says, on a competition, just do not care about the even where you enter. He says, for example if he does 2 X 2, he on purpose does a DNF somewhere. I hope you understand what I am trying to explain. The last 2 - 3 weeks have I been doing almost nothing but OH and BLD training. So in some terms I have stopped to care a bit about 3 X 3. I have improved tremendous in OH. I have never been able to solve OH because I did not even know how to do a Sune with one hand. I asked for the algs in the one question topic and got some from Kunparech. I have just started drilling these. Man, how I did cramp up. Left is totally unnatural for me. But since the most OH ninja's are left solvers so I wanted to do that too. When I first managed to truly solve OH I had 2.30 average.. In less than two weeks I have brought that to 1.30 average.. I think on my first competition a one minute average might be an option ;) A succesfull BLD is far off.. But I just love practicing that..
