I stopped practising 3x3x3 a couple of months ago and I haven't done any sessions of more than 5 timed solves since then (for the weekly comp of course). As I'm off to Bristol Open tomorrow I thought I'd do a few solves for fun to see what would happen. First solve 20.xx.
Then 14.36, 14.38, 15.34, 14.91, 14.44, 16.52, 15.25, 16.61, 16.25, 14.53, 14.80, 14.22, 12.68, 12.69, 14.83, 10.22 (single pb, and nl too!)
Avg12: 14.62 pb by 0.57
I should average 16-17 normally, so I was expecting 18-19 without any recent practise. I fully expect to be sup-20 again in Bristol though.
 
2:02.34, 2:00.06, 1:59.60, 1:52.38, 1:40.38, 1:45.58, 1:55.17, 1:58.92, (1:34.80), 1:48.61, 1:58.83, 1:58.77, 1:56.93, 1:52.45, 1:50.89, 1:52.37, 1:44.82, 1:51.50, 1:59.58, 1:56.77, 1:59.30, 1:47.20, (2:07.10), 1:48.13, 1:52.62 = 1:53.40

5x5 btw. Sub 1:50 might be difficult. Although I have dropped like 10 seconds in a week :)

Very nice Simon :) I've not been practicing recently, and given how badly comp affects me it should be interesting to see how close we are :P
