Racing to sub-20

mafergut said:
I've heard someone say that the RTS15 thread is dead so maybe they need someone to revive it, when you feel ready to move there. I still need to at least start getting more low 18s and high 17s before event thinking to go there. If you want my advice, keep using your Aolong v2, it looks like it's working :)

I might revive it myself, I run the 5x5 race thread so one more won't be too hard.
 
Round 490
ao12: 19.51

1.(23.99)
2.19.31
3.19.27
4.23.07
5.18.75
6.20.26
7.(14.970)
8.17.99
9.19.43
10.20.21
11.17.91
12.18.80

tbh I don't really want to graduate because all the times I've gotten "sub-20" averages are just times between 19.5 and 20, which I don't think really counts. But I'm still getting more frequent and and lower sub-20 times now, which is good.
 
Round 490:
AO12: 19.75

18.89, 20.01, (25.64), 20.84, 16.88, 21.69, 18.80, 24.62, 19.64, (16.60), 17.10, 19.03

This was a really good average for me if you exclude the 25 and 24 second solve and I am really happy to have the 2 16 second solves as it is the first time I have had 2 sub-17 second solves in an average so that I guess means improvement. Now if I can only consistently do this weekly I would feel much better about myself.

Wow im improving. My normal avg is now 18 :-D. Now i only need the last round :-D ! :-D Can someone start the "Race to sub-15" Again ??( or something)

Much better than last time :) I might stay for one more round then go to a race to sub-15 or something, but actually getting sub-15 solves are gonna take a while.
 
It's been a busy week and I haven't had a chance to do my average yet. I'll do my AO12 and close the round over the weekend.

Don't sweat it, especially if you've been practicing other puzzles lately. It'll come.
 
So I am not late just by chance. That's good. I like to do my weekly Ao12 here!

Race to sub-20 CFOP - Round 491 (Alumni)
Cube: Moyu Tanglong

I have started to incorporate some non-white/yellow cross solves to try and become full CN. Those solves were not great but at least they also don't spoil the sub-20. Not a great average but at least quite consistent with nothing worse than 21.50.

I'm so happy right now. My new speed is 100% thanks to my new cube, the YueXiao cuz I only learned like, 4 extra OLL algs and I'm pretty sure 4 algs doesn't bring your speed down 5 seconds.

That's impressive! I've been thinking about transitioning to CN. I'm not convinced I'm capable of it yet. But once I reach my goal of official sub 20 average I think i'll give it a shot.


@earth2dan

Thanks man. Frustrating when you're under performing! I'll get there.

Blech. Kinda squeezed this average in after a week of no practice. There goes my sub 20 streak, guess I'm starting over :(
No video this week... It's for the best.
