Dead after the average. Thought the average was over at later solves, but got the 9 at the end, so the average has a counting 9 and 10. Corner twist at solve 7. Totally did not deserve the sub-13 average, but counting solves are counting solves lol

wow I thought I had no way of getting sub 8 after the first few solves! Also scrambles 3 and 4 are the same btw so I just used a scramble from cstimer at the end.

Comments: All sub-30 solves! Super pleased with this. I think the things I did this week that really helped were starting to learn some new F2L tricks, working on PLL recognition, and cleaning out and fully setting up my RS3 M 2020.

I am nowhere near close sub-12 but I'll have a try. Can't even sustain a sub-13 average. I was not in the mood while doing this average. Hope I will improve next week :I

Ao12: 20.99

Comments: Got off by a whisker there like 0.01 seconds slower and it wouldn't have been a sub-21. Some bad solves in there but still pretty good ao12. Next goal would be sub-20.5 because I don't think I am ready for sub-20 yet.

I dont have a 2x2

This is a Race to Sub-X on 3x3 not on 2x2. But if someday you get a 2x2 and want to compete, you can go to this thread that is currently runned by @BenChristman1

P.S. I don't know why I didn't get sub-20 on solve 4. It was a 3-move cross with a pre-made pair!
