Racing to sub-20

Oh, I didnt realize it worked that way, I thought it was something more complex.. Thanks alot for the answers, I do know how to solve:)
 
Round 55
Average: 19.79

Dang. Right before this I got a new PB AO5 and AO12 but I didn't think that my luck would carry over to this. I've been practicing Roux and I think that it's improving my look ahead for Fridrich.
 
Round 55
19.55

18.88, 24.07, 15.59, 20.18, 20.73, (14.81), 15.46, 23.37, 18.54, 22.83, 15.85, (26.41)

Yay!!
14.81 is almost my new PB, my PB is 14.19. This was really surprising. Earlier today, I was averaging 23-ish and all of a sudden I got this insane average.
Probably won't happen again for awhile though.

17.07 avg5 too (solves 3-7)! Standard deviation was kinda bad though (3.09)

All were NL.

If not for the 2 counting bad solves, this would have been sub 20. anyway, this is a roux PB for me.

50, 27 and 26 were all g perms that went wrong. 32 was a pop. could have been so much better... but still not bad

Round 56
21.66, 22.44, 26.09, 24.50, 26.23, 19.06, 23.66, 24.90, 25.11, 21.99, 24.83, 22.54 = 23.58

I got a sub 20 solve, non lucky! <3 For some reason, my brain said, "Hey, I'm gonna make your fingers move like awesome" and that's what happened XD;
 
Round 56
24.03
22.88, 21.53, 25.71, 21.85, 25.39, (44.00), 22.40, 26.13, 22.15, 24.76, (20.96), 27.50

I'm trying for smooth solves now, ignoring speed. My solves are still incredibly awkward and un-smooth, but they are way smoother than they were before I concentrated on it. The 44 second solve was one of my fastest F2Ls ever (I looked up and saw it was sub-10), but then I got too excited and totally messed up the OLL and had to re-solve the entire F2L.
 
Round 56
Average 25.00
(18.79), 24.76, 27.60, 23.65, 25.68, 22.05, 27.85, (31.56), 24.54, 21.42, 29.28, 23.16

The 31.56 solve was a pop the tenth solve I did the wrong J-perm would've been sub 20 if it wouldn't be for that.
 
Round 56
Average: 19.27

20.40,
15.95,
20.63,
19.22,
20.71,
17.25,
19.44,
18.82,
18.91,
19.33,
17.99,
22.24

I cannot describe how happy I am now that I am getting sub-20 averages of 12 more often. (not to mention right before this I got a 16.44 AO5!)

Mike, I've judged a few of your solves in competition, and one thing that i've noticed is that your solves are very shaky and jumpy. I think going for smooth solves is exactly what you should be doing, but something that may help you turn smoother is just turning like you don't care at all. Try a few solves just leaning back in a chair turning slow as if you could care less what the timer says. If there is no pressure on the solve, then you should be able to take your time looking for the other F2L pieces.
 
Round 56

avg12: 27.86

Note to self: Do an avg5 before doing an average of 12. This was alright, maybe about average, but would have been better if I had warmed up or done a PLL time attack or something. I'm ok with it, but definitely could have improved.
