You can go for whatever time you want and keep your own track of 3 sub-X in a row given the fact that there aren't any other active sub-X threads below sub-15, I think. I will keep track of your times every week but will keep colouring yellow every sub-15 result as an alumni ;)
 
@TheoLyh Thinking about this tiwce. It's not the first time I get a request of continuing for a target below 15, so I thought that, maybe this does not have critical mass for a specific sub-12 or sub-whatever thread so I wouldn't mind it at all to host here a more open "sub-15 and beyond" thread where you can choose your target and I can keep track of exactly that.

If you all think it's worth it and I can get @Berd to change the thread subject to "Race to sub-15 and beyond" or something like that I would be more than happy to run it.

My very first sub 15! Alot of these scrambles (#5) were lucky. I'm getting closer to sub 15!
 
Round 79
Method: CFOP (White Cross)
Cube: Gans Air
AO12: 18.64

18.76, 18.21, 20.94, 19.47, (12.60), 18.00, 19.68, 19.08, 20.22, 17.57, (21.36), 14.50

Ah, I needed that. I've been only doing colour netural averages in the race to sub 20 and It's pretty discouraging. Scramble #5 is nuts. That's a PB single for me, I've never broken 13 seconds before :)

Time permitting I think I'll keep going in this thread with white cross solves while I try to wrap my brain around colour neutrality over in the sub-20 thread.

If you're trying to become color neutral, you should not go back and forth between CN and fixed-cross solves. Just stick with it and you'll get back to normal times surprisingly quickly.

NOTE: Still waiting for @Berd to come back to me and tell me if he agrees to change the subject of the thread to convert it in a Race to Sub-15 and beyond but I formally start accepting people running for sub-X below 15 on this round. So, please, feel free to participate.

Round 79
CFOP
DIY Valk 3 M
Average: 17.75

Thought I'd join in, as I've been sub-20 for a while, and starting to get a lot more 12-15 second solves these days. Started out rubbish (first 5 solves were 19.36 Ao5), but ended quite strong (15.98 Ao5). I may be here for a while!! 17.75 happens to be my current Ao50 in my main session on CSTimer, so this is pretty much representative of where I am right now - neither a great average nor a terrible one.
