I believe I've been in every round beginning with the first one. And I've barely made any progress at all. But that's largely my fault because I haven't really practiced in the past 6 months. (But I did practice a lot before that, and it didn't help at all; it seems like I'm doing at least as well now that I'm not practicing as I did before when I was practicing.)

With the :45, I finished cross and had a great setup for f2l. So great, in fact, that I freaked out and messed up the rest of the solve.

Not bad, considering I only got 3 solves above 20 seconds. I am happy with my times.

Good average for me besides the first half. After the 7th solve I was thinking that this was going to be another 24ish second average, but then boom I just suddenly got faster. Last five solves were a PB, first sub 20, average of 5 which was 19.86.
 
Round 142

Over a second slower than last round but at least I know why and know what I have to do. Having had the benefit of the community from starting speed cubing the beginning of the year I have always been mindful of 'go slow and look ahead'. So much so that if I couldn't track a pair on an occasion I would try and slow down more. My F2L turn speed became so slow. In trying to find optimal F2L speed in the last week I noticed something. I could still track the same look ahead with near on full turn speed (My turn speed at full tilt is not good). Yes sometimes I cannot find a pair but I found I couldn't find a pair in the same situation slower turning. So now 90% turn speed on F2L and if I don't find a pair after last insertion I just sacrifice a rotation. Problem is now I have not been used to faster F2L, hence the inconsistency and making silly mistakes. But I do feel bags of practice of faster F2L will get me to sub 20. What is interesting is the time I was finishing F2L on these solves. I know it is not great to check the timer during solves but I did for this average, on a 21sec solve I would finish F2L at 12-13 seconds and I know full PLL and OLL. The 18.16 solve I finished F2L at 8secs!! I would like to get to sub 20 alone with the change to my F2L and leave drilling LL to give me an initial boost down to my goal of 15s.
