I really don't know how I did this. I guess after my break I just needed to practice a little to get back to where I was. =D yay. Still isn't my best avg, but it's pretty great for me.

LOL NICE! Sq-1 sub 20 ao12!

What?!
When did you get so fast?

 

[ArcticxWolf]

What?!
When did you get so fast?

Oh, the last 2 weeks ish, i've been doing nothing but practicing sq-1. I also relearned my U + adj algs to recognize from the front like Neo's, so yea, that really helped xD
I'm also using a new "substep" where you recognize EO and CP in the same step, which really helps a lot as then, I can recognize EP during CP instead, lol.

EDIT: Or, at least be *kinda* able to recognize them, aka being able to tell how many edges are solved and if I have parity or not.

[FatBoyXPC]

I'll go ahead and join this. I meant to join this awhile ago, and to compete in the weekly competitions, but I got caught up in other things

22.94, 21.36, (15.66), 18.43, 18.47, 19.75, 17.81, (23.93), 19.88, 20.25. 17.61, 21.56 = 19.81

For once I didn't wreck my next solve after a good single!

Carson: Maybe do some "bld stepwise" solves? Where you look at cross and do it bld, then find first pair and do it bld, etc. Do that until you can execute your F2L pairs without thinking about it (get it into muscle memory). Then you should be able to have pretty decent look ahead 4LLL or 2LLL?

There was some easy scrambles in there, like 2 ep skips and a cp skip, should have been sub 20 but stupid parities.

Round 45:
22.78
23.31, 22.67, 21.04, 22.45, 23.11, (29.13), 26.31, 21.81, 20.62, 20.44, 25.99, (20.12)

Slightly better than average for me, I guess. Still pretty much the same as always, though.

For this round, I simply did a bunch of "stepwise blind" solves, like James mentioned - probably a couple hundred. Then I did a bunch more normal solves to get used to looking ahead again. And I'm still trying to get totally comfortable with the other changes I've made in the last week and a half.

Does anyone have some consistency I could borrow?

You can have mine, but I suspect it's not quite what you have in mind. My averages have been very consistent since we started this "race" 6 months ago. In 6 months, I feel like I've run about 3 inches.
