Racing to sub-20

Wow. My first and last two solves weren't good and did me in (especially the first two and then the +2). I was so nervous =D.

Round 532
CFOP
MoJue M3
Ao12: 23.82

21.43, 24.59, (28.72), 27.68, 26.50, 25.36, 20.33, (18.55), 22.80, 22.90, 24.55, 21.98

Terrible start this round with 4 consecutive sup-25s in the first 6 solves. 3rd and 4th solves I bumped into OLLs I couldn't immediately recall the algs for, and both times I went on to execute the wrong alg. I need to review my new OLL cases a lot more.

Still far away from sub-15, so using this race for warm up.
 
Round 532
CFOP CN

Saw the round wasn't closed yet so I'm really rushing to get this in. PBR AO5 (by a full second??) in there so I don't mind blowing up 4 or 5 of the other solves. Progress!

AO12 - 24.10
1-12 - 28.11 20.60 22.73 18.73 (44.72) 20.53 17.79 (17.01) 29.17 26.83 22.47 34.00

Not as good as last round, but I didn't really get any practice in last week so I'm not too upset about it.

Next round will be up soon.

Round 533 (Alumni)
Method: CFOP Full CN
Cube: Valk 3 Stickerless

avg of 12: 19.00
(16.16[yellow]), 16.89[white], 19.29[red], 21.31[green], 19.60[yellow], 18.57[red], 20.72[blue], 18.57[orange], 18.43[blue], 19.21[red], (23.01[green]), 17.40[yellow]

Not very happy with non white/yellow solves this week but not bad overall. Lately I practice almost exclusively big cubes and in those I always do 3x3 stage with white cross, which is making my other colors suffer a bit... and my TPS as well :(

Round 533
Method: CFOP
Cube: Valk 3

Ao12: 23.11

Got the Valk3 today and decided to try it out here after setting it up a bit. Still not too convinced by the cube, but apparently I'm at least not much slower on it than on my previous cube. Will have to test it some more before I decide if I should make it my main.

That last solve... was terrible. I messed up a G-perm. Overall my times are getting lower! More practice before my first comp!

Yay!! It's my PB ao12 within a single session (I once had a lower time across two sessions). Very nice result, this week has been frustrating with my times. Each day after 15-20 solves my times tank, and not sure why. But very happy with this =).

Round 534
Method: CFOP
Cube: MoJue M3
Ao12: 20.83

22.27, (23.10), (17.19), 20.14, 21.71, 22.62, 19.65, 20.41, 17.32, 20.81, 21.67, 21.68

Wow! PB Ao12 by about .1 seconds! I'm really surprised to see this result. The past week has not been very good, at times I've been struggling to even get sub-25 Ao12s. Today I switched back to the MoJue M3 from the Valk. Also, since I feel I'm being negatively affected by seeing bad results, and get nervous if I notice I'm doing very well and might break a pb, I set up csTimer in such a way that I could not see the times of my solves. I didn't look at any times before I was done with the Ao12 and instead tried to stay as focused as possible on the solves. The result is quite stunning! I must start using this method more often.
