Racing to sub-20

@Zoe, you just got a lucky streak and I sucked. I will be sub20 again soon and you will have to keep practising. I don't understand how you can get sub20 10/12 here but not 3/5 in a real comp (Belgian Open) though. Nerves?

Oh, I don't doubt you'll beat me again soon. I will not be practicing as much anymore now as I'm starting my exams heuu... in a bit more than 2 hours ^^ (haha, I should actually be reading my resume instead of lurking on speedsolving ! oops xD)
But don't worry, by the end of this summer I expect to kick your ass on a steady basis :)
About my sucky averages in comps, stress I guess ? Or trying to use stupid OLLs that I have just learned (bad idea). And that avg sub-20 10/12 was just ONE average. I still haven't done any other since then :(

OMG that was amazingly good. My look ahead was spot on almost no stops on each solve. Wow just awesome also no lucky solves in there all were NL. The 24 was a HORRIBLE cross but other then that WOW. Now if i could do that on a regular basis!

Round 106
21.95
21.48, 22.12, 21.95, 20.47, 21.12, (19.24), 22.80, 22.18, 25.47, 22.51, (25.91), 19.38

Wow, my lookahead was so good on that average! For this particular round, it was definitely OLL and PLL that slowed me down - my F2L was amazingly fast. If only I could look ahead that well every time.

Ryan, I still hope to do a video sometime soon, but I'm just not finding the time to get it done. Maybe this weekend.

25.17 (17.08) 25.01 24.69 20.99 18.92 24.14 23.71 28.89 (30.73) 21.49 26.16 = 23.92

No warmup, plus the 28 and the 30 were just huge mistakes. I need to work on first block pretty bad. I'm gonna be here for awhile.
 
20.78, 20.25, 19.38, 19.79, 19.81, 19.93, 23.37, (23.40), 18.91, (18.78), 21.77, 22.41 = 20.64

Not bad and 7-4 for me ! :)
