Racing to sub-20

Average of 12: 28.38

Too many 30+ times, but the 21 and 22 single saved me:)
Better than last week so I'm pleased.
 
Round 43
20.86

21.74, 22.07, 20.14, (14.19), 24.85, 21.14, 22.42, 19.20, (34.72), 20.79, 19.29, 17.00

Yes!!

All were NL including the 14.19, I have no idea what happened there because the scramble wasn't particularly easy. It's my new PR single :D

As for the 34.72, I messed up the OLL case (I got the chameleon case); when I was doing the double-layer R move, I accidentally did M and messed it up :p

Getting close to sub-20!
 
This was immediately after completing a 22.76 avg50 which contained a 21.11 avg12 (a PB). Clearly I should start doing more avg50's.

RA of 12: 21.70

Average: 22.11
Standard Deviation: 4.57
Best Time: 15.02
Worst Time: 33.25
Individual Times:
1. 22.16
2. 19.88
3. 26.55
4. 20.31
5. 15.02 (my new PB - easy X-cross and F2L)
6. 21.72
7. 25.75
8. 23.58
9. 20.48
10. 17.70
11. 18.89
12. 33.25 (botched OLL, managed to recover without starting over)
The 15.02 is my new PB by over a second - I saw what looked like an easy X-cross (on yellow), couldn't figure it out in time, but then got it anyway. The rest of F2L was super easy and the LL cases must have been pretty good too.

I screwed up OLL pretty bad on the 33.25 and took forever to recover, but didn't have to start over. I almost never screw up that badly. One of the other bad times was a mistake in PLL but I fixed it almost immediately.
 
I recently decided to become colour neutral, so I'm jumping back in, haha.

Finally done it! PBavg12. Thought I'd blown it on 4th, and started to lose it towards end. Kinda lucky, I had an x-cross and a lot of 2look last layer, but were all full step.
 
Round 44:

23.17, 24.27, (20.38), 21.10, 25.77, 21.75, 23.80, 22.97, 24.53, (27.63), 23.62, 23.33

For this round, I:
1. Learned to use that alg RyanReese09 gave me (and its mirror);
2. Found better ways to remember a couple of OLL algs that were giving me trouble.

Not much this week because of the Renaissance Faire this weekend. Hopefully I'll get more done next time.
 
Hey Mike. I'm already sub 20, but do you recommend that I stick around here for a few more rounds, or move on to the sub 15 thread?

Wow, you've made some good progress! When you started just a few months ago, you were slower than me. But I intend our rule here to be the same as the one that Carson had for sub-30 (except that it's sub-20):
You will be considered a "graduate" when you post Sub-20 averages for three consecutive rounds. (You can skip rounds, but you have to have three Sub-20 rounds with no SUPER-20 rounds between them)

I just haven't gotten around to enforcing that yet, but it is my intention. So you need 2 more rounds sub-20 without any above 20 in between before you're expected to move on.

I wish I could improve as fast as you - nice job!

First time in this race. I just graduated from the sub30 thread. I went through that race quite quickly, but I feel like I'll be stuck here for a long time. Especially since it seems that I always get 1 sup30 in every ao12...
 
Round 44
Average: 28.35

27.10
24.80
33.21+
36.53
25.72
27.84
28.50
33.33
26.58
27.45
26.94
26.81

While this was certainly not a spectacular average, I feel really good about it... because I felt really bad about it. What does that mean? I only recently became (in my opinion) what I would call a "sub-30" cuber. This average felt pretty lousy to me, but when I saw that the end result was still nearly two seconds below :30, it makes me realize that I AM improving. :D
 
Round 44
Average: 26.38

25.79,
25.38,
27.01,
25.97,
DNF(19.60),
28.06,
22.43,
22.66,
21.20,
26.29,
32.94,
27.31

Probably shouldn't have done this before I warmed up (My hands are freezing!). I was hitting sub-23 ao12 yesterday, but I figured I'd start participating in this even though I feel like my times aren't as good as they should be.
