Race to Sub-30 and Race to Sub 25

Round 225
1. 26.47
2. 26.66
3. 25.24
4. 24.08
5. (22.91)
6. (40.34) (horrible 3rd pair, OLL fumble, wrong PLL)
7. 27.66
8. 24.03
9. 23.21
10. 26.08 +2 = 28.08 (predicted AUF wrong)
11. 33.45 (double rotation, massive pause)
12. 37.36

= 27.62
 
Round 225
Roux

Average: 42.33 (σ = 6.53)

Time List:
36.97, (56.71), 45.36, 36.04, 47.00, 50.00, 43.08, 34.48, 43.16, 34.68, 52.56, (33.21)

Lots of variability. Ashamed to say I didn't really work on most of the things I mentioned last week, only on look ahead during LSE. My finger tricks for MU are still horrible and def gotta work on that since they hinder roux so much.

EDIT: Kept practicing a bit after this average and I got a couple of sub30s
