Wow, I got a sub 20 on the sub 20 race alumni thread, and then came over here and got a 21.06! Crap. :(
Sh*t happens, you know! But that is how improvement works, two steps ahead, one step back, and then there are days and days. Or hours and hours. I suffer the same highs and lows in my times the whole time and it can be frustrating.

Really lucky for me...
 
It's pretty amazing how different starts to the solve have such a huge effect. On one of my disappointing 18+ second solves, once the set was done I tried the same scramble again just for fun starting with a different color, and the cube seemed to solve itself in 11.36. If there were only a way to see this in advance...
 
Haven't done the race in a while, might as well. Let's see how bad I do.

Round: 67

Well...
Not bad I guess
I want less sup-1[7]s (5)
Only 2 sub-15s ouch
Wow a twelve and a thirteen
That's pretty fast
But
I was expecting more 14s

Wow, uh, that was pretty good. No sup-15 solves and a sub-10, would love if this happened consistently. Who knows, maybe it will soon. If I do this constantly I can get finals at my next comp, just gotta hope xp.

6. 15.26
7. 16.40 - Ug, missed EO, so I had to pure flip two edges. Probably cost me the average

9. 13.23
10. 15.57
11. 14.59
12. 15.39

This.
Was.
So.
Close.
I had a 12 before I started this average, so my ao12 was consistently sub-15 until the last solve.
WHY
7/12 sup-15s; I need to get 5/12 or less.
Oh hay, I have a sub-15 ao50 too.
