Race to sub X on a 2x2

Damn, sorry, I think I forgot to use good scrambles. Next week, I promise.
No worries at all. And like @Duncan Bannon said, if you want to post new scrambles that is just fine by me, but whatever you think best is also just fine. If you do decide to change it, then I would before anyone else competes this week. Thank you though for the new scrambles and for keeping this thread going.

So after a pretty bad weekend of official times, I decided to really try and practice at home how I do and feel at official competitions and in public (meaning listening to various things that were distracting to me, getting nervous, thinking about the times and solves etc.)
I am going to be doing this for a while or until I can start getting the same times that I was getting when I was relaxed at home. This might take a while to get there, but because I now really see that I need to work on this and I really want to get better official times, I do not mind practicing this way. Also, big thanks to @CuberStache for the idea of practicing this way, I would not have really thought about it, if he had not mentioned the idea, so thanks.
