Race to Sub-30 and Race to Sub 25

Round 223
Race to sub 30
CFOP OH
Ao12: 29.628

31.894, 24.630, 32.255, 29.799, 27.839, 28.375, 29.694, 29.311, 32.087, 32.783, 30.399, 22.879

With that 22 at the end I just managed to get a sub 30 this round. On that last solve I had OLL 29 and for some reason I decided to do FURU'R'F' followed by COLL and got a skip. Maybe because the last time I tried it I got a skip too.

Round 224
CFOP OH

Ao12: 27.850

28.719, 20.575, 26.264, 25.799, 42.959, 28.583, 30.335, 26.263, 33.559, 25.728, 27.030, 26.223

Pretty sweet average for me this week. Also that 20.575 is either my 2nd best or close to it. My best is 17.x with a LL skip.

(Wow, actually still sub30)
 
Round 224
Roux

Ao12: 49.90

Generated By csTimer on 2018-2-24
Average: 49.90 (σ = 8.03)

Time List:
45.17, 1:19.87, 1:01.72, 44.68, 36.96, 56.01, 43.88, 43.17, 45.19, 1:03.26, 42.28, 53.59

Been doing Roux for a couple of weeks and finally decided to do a serious average. Not sure if sub50 is good for a first serious average of 12 but I'll take it. Wanna be sub25 but it's still a long way to go. PB is like 34.xy

Habits to correct:
* LSE finger tricks, right now I just do whatever, I should stick to one hand for U turns and one for M turns.
* First block is really inefficient
* Faster 2 look CMLL recognition, need to recognize from any angle both looks

Those are probably the main things to focus on right now. Then maybe LSE look ahead and just lookahead in general at the start of the solve
