How many solves do you do? I've done 1.45k timed solves in the last two weeks(not much for me) and I only have gotten one sub 10.

On most days, in between 100-200 3x3 solves and 50 or so 4x4 solves.

Before 2 weeks ago I hadn't had a sub-10 in almost a year, so the three recent ones are a nice surprise. I seem to have gotten past my 17 second average plateau :3

Round 121
Average: 19.41

22.06, 24.08, 24.28, 24.54, 18.72, 19.94, 18.60, 21.25, 16.27, DNF, 17.80, 18.61, 17.51, 17.62, 22.39, 20.33, 19.36, 17.84, 18.17, 22.02, 15.69, 15.75, 35.60, 16.68, 18.35, 14.91, 19.28, 22.87, 23.02, 23.44, 19.26, 21.51, 14.92, 19.15, 18.54, 16.07, 18.28, 17.82, 16.45, 18.14, 15.73, 17.20, 23.93, 14.70, 18.78, 27.32+, 20.03, 16.53, 18.16, 22.16

Second half of the average was quite good and it was veering towards sub-19 towards the end, but the first half was too bad.
The DNF was actually quite funny - I managed to screw up my U-perm fingertricks and end up with an R U' R' away from solved cube. it was 15.07.

Sorry, I typoed... my goal was 16, not 18 :fp
I've improved recently though (I improve by 1.5 second jumps at random times), so I'll be aiming for sub-15 from now on.

Yeah, I saw that and wasn't sure whether you were switching or not. I'll fix it soon.
 
Round 121 Race to Sub-19
Mean of 44: 18.750
18.87, 18.05, (21.55), 19.20, 18.65, 19.59, 19.52, 18.98, (15.82), 18.44, 16.82, 18.44, 17.40, 18.76, 20.40, 18.15, (25.02), 17.58, 18.99, 19.01, 18.36, (21.15), 18.44, 18.79, 19.32, (15.99), 17.76, 16.85, 20.45, (16.26), 19.83, 18.87, 21.12, 18.48, 18.96, 19.11, 19.38, 18.33, 20.16, 18.32, 20.32, 16.3, 16.94, 19.32, 18.69, 19.8, 19.68, 16.93, 19.33, 18.30

Meh - not a great average, but enough to graduate! :D Feeling under the weather and my times have really suffered, but consistent enough. The worst counting time from this average was 21.12, which isn't awful - the best counting time was 16.30.

Still a long way to go for sub-18, but I'll be starting next week!
 
Round 121
Race to sub-18

Ao50 PB by over a second.
PB Ao12 by 1.18
PB Ao5 by 0.17
Also the 12.32 ties my Roux PB and should have been overall PB if I didn't have an unnecessary pause in LSE.

Sup-20 was a messed up OLL during execution. I was pleased to get two sub-12 times!

Round: 121
Race to: sub-15

Average: 15.08

Last week I would have been very happy with that... but this felt normal to start with, then fell apart for the second half, especially with so many interruptions. This average took two days: 41 solves on Monday and 9 today.
 
Round 121
Race to sub-15

13.26, 13.71, 13.99, 16.74, 14.89, 15.65, 15.79, 15.06, 18.19, 14.46, 16.64, 18.74, 12.50, 17.68, 13.17, 14.53, 12.64, 15.04, 15.47, 15.04, 15.41, 16.98, 17.55, 13.41, 13.78, 12.98, 11.86, 12.14, 15.14, 15.28, 13.47, 14.14, 14.61, 13.84, 15.63, 13.95, 15.09, 14.21, 12.58, 16.57, 16.80, 12.42, 13.77, 13.01, 17.70, 14.40, 12.45, 16.69, 14.16, 11.58

Average = 14.68

11.58 was PLL skip with one of my normal colors, but the 11.86 and the 12.14 that followed was with a white cross and full step. I might as well go ahead and try to be quad-CN since important edges are starting to pop out at me just like with blue/green. I just need to be a little more consistent.
