Racing to sub-20

Round 478 (alumni)
avg of 12: 17.28
19.37, 19.05, 16.38, 18.38, 17.10, 18.56, (23.10), 16.89, 16.54, 13.65, (13.12), 16.86

With that, I think it's probably time for me to get out of here. Best of luck, everyone!
 
Round 478
20.52

(17.02), 25.48, 17.65, 18.86, 22.25, (26.00), 22.65, 17.22, 18.60, 21.96, 18.78, 21.78

Ugh... Sorry I didn't end the round yesterday. I just finished an all nighter at the office. This definitely should have been a sub20 average for me, there were some easy cross scrambles in there. I'm just too tired to be consistent.

New round will be up soon.

I'm going to try and close this round on Thursday this time. Friday the 18th is my birthday AND it's opening day of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, so I'm gonna be busy ;)

Good luck to everyone!
 
It looks like I cannot stop being a complete patzer when I approach this race.
Did some warmup, ending with an 18.98 Ao12.
Did the race scrambles.
Got nervous, started to lock up all over the place, did a sup-20 average again:

19.55, 21.56, 17.17, 21.73, 20.73, (31.97), 21.55, (16.67), 21.99, 21.72, 20.35, 20.06 = 20.64
 
479th round!

not the kind of consistency I'm looking for but I've been practicing untimed slow solving for a week and a half. Lookahead is improving I think, now to execute on said lookahead :)

Round 480

16.85, 16.78, 20.25, 19.63, (14.38), 18.63, 18.66, 19.75, (DNF(18.27)), 17.97, 17.46, 19.97 = 18.60

Starting again the count to 3... let's hope this time's for good.

I had to go back to my previous main (Yueying). The lockups and inconsistency seemed to be caused in part at least by me not getting used to the Moyu Tanglong. Newer doesn't mean always better, at least for me in this case. Also the fact that it's still not stickered with my preferred shades seems to have a clear impact in recognition. With my Yueying I was able to find the pieces much more easily.

Hi
I'm new over here.
Anyway in one of the solves I got the exact same f2l case consecutively thrice! And also a pll skip in the same solve!!
But still there is a huge difference of like 10 seconds between my best and worst solve..
 
1. (16.046)
2. 17.750
3. 23.162
4. 16.817
5. (25.121)
6. 19.359
7. 18.133
8. 20.654
9. 21.239
10. 19.271
11. 17.969
12. 20.604

AO12: 19.496

2 corner twists in a row. 5 and 6. Sucks because I never get twists. Oh well, I still got the sub 20!

So, I'm not actually sure if I belong here or in race to sub 15. My average jumps daily from 20.xx to 19.xx, although recently I've been getting a ton of lower times. I'll see, but for now, I'll be here! (I'm pretty sure I'll be sub 20 consistently in a week max though)

EDIT: 3 days later and I have an AO100 of 18.09, so after this round I will be jumping to road to sub 15

Nerves are a funny thing. Full disclosure: I had to redo one solve where I brain farted and did the wrong OLL twice in a row lol! Just being honest... having a 36 in there and a counting 31 CRUSHED my average. I rescrambled it at the end of the session, plus I'm not good enough to have memorized the moves anyway! :)
