Thanks for the encouragement!!! I rolled it yesterday. After a bit of warmup I started very well with a 17 and a 16 and then my nerves came into play and I spoiled any possible further improvement. But, with those two times I rolled to PB Ao50 = 18.97 and PB Ao100 = 19.96, finally sub-20!!!!!! Next objective, globally sub-20, so I need to repeat this or it will just be a one-time lucky event.

Ha, I remember when you were doubtful that you would ever reach sub-20 - congrats! :)

Well, I don't even know what to say but thanks!!!!!! I didn't know that my posts with my "improvement stories" were being even read by almost anyone, let alone being really noticed / remembered. You know, it's not like I'm close to WR times or anything like that. Now I know what people like Cubeologist mean when they say the cubing community is just great.

And you're completely right, I experienced a plateau some months ago and I really thought I would never be able to progress any further. Every person has its limits and I thought mine were those but I was wrong. Now I'm all the more motivated to see which can be my limit. I would be more than happy with globally 15-17. I will leave sub-15 and sub-10 territory for all of you, really young and talented guys out there. :)
 
Definitely the most 2x2 solves I've done in a day

Many fails in there. I think my TPS is slowly improving though. That avg12 is 0.01 slower than PB

Heh, I follow the accomplishment thread pretty religiously! I know it seems a little weird, but I like to follow people's progression and stuff - it's a fairly constant source of inspiration :)

I will keep on posting, then :)
I know what you mean about the inspiration. I also want to get my cube and practise when I read about someone's PB :)

8.98 tps zomg (9.32 in ETM because my last F2L pair was definitely like U' U' R U' U' R' U R U' R')

Also gotten 2 other 5's in this session (including a 5.91 ;) ) which is a lot for me. Also a 6.1x where I did something ending in R' U R as my last pair followed by R' U' R U' R' U2 R so yeah could've been 4.
