Been practicing a bunch lately. Finally broke my comp pb on Saturday (14.67 to 14.63), and my AO100 at that time Saturday was 13.90. Now as of a few minutes ago, it's 13.63. There's hope for me. I'm not failing as much in comp anymore .

Wow at those last few solves. Completely saved the average. Hope to get sub13 AO100 again soon .

The first and last solves were the only one's that "felt" good. Unfortunately, I can't blame in of this on screw ups like I usually can. The 31.10 was the only solve with a real mistake... the rest of the not so great times were just bad solves. Oh well... there's always next round.

Ok, since I having been cubing at all for the past 3 days, I decided to go out on a limb and try a round without any warmups. It ended up not being as bad as I thought; still sub-21 (despite the fact that I'm counting a high 23 and 24). Crazy standard deviation though; absolutely no consistency here

Wow - nice! 4 sub-19 solves - I don't remember having that many before in an average 10/12. Still way too many bad ones for a sub-20 average, though.

This could have been faster had I not made so many mistakes. A couple of the times were "intentional" mistakes... I recently learned some new OLL's, and I forced myself to use them, even though it meant staring at the cube for a couple of extra seconds to remember them. The last solve knocked this out of being sub-23.

Ao5: 31.32
Ao12: 31.75

This did not go as I would have liked. Only a couple below 30s.
I had trouble spotting the F2L pairs and slotting them correctly, which I found strange as that went quite good while practising...
