Woo, my first sub 30 avg in a forum competition. Also the 34s time was due to me putting in 2 F2L pairs into the wrong slots and having to fix it lol...

I noticed that I had the fastest average in rounds 196 and 197. This makes me feel so accomplished considering when I joined this race last summer, I was getting last in almost every round. At times I thought I would never be sub-20, but now that I am it feels great. This thread gave me the motivation to stick with it and keep practicing. :)

I'm learning a few new OLLs and I've changed algs for the E permutation, too. I feel slower but my average didn't suffer much.

Round 199

Wow, this was just all over the place. I am happy that 6 of the 12 times were sub-20. But I just make too many terrible mistakes leading to a bad overall average. It seems like I've hit a point where just doing a bunch of solves might really help a lot - I'm capable of being sub-20, but I need some repetitive practice just so I can stop making mistakes.
 
Round 199

Average: 20.08

19.83, 18.63, (15.94), 19.87, 20.59, (26.36), 20.26, 20.27, 22.77, 21.86, 18.56, 18.19

Ahh! so close! Maybe round 200 will be good to me. Don't know how I got such a good single, but I'll take it.
 
Round 199
Average: 27.22 (σ = 1.60)
29.81, 24.70, 23.22, 26.44, 28.08, 26.32, 28.42, 29.14, 27.93, 24.78, 28.88, 27.52

lol not one time above 30 seconds :D and I still technically haven't graduated from the race to sub 30 thread...
 
24.09 Columns First

29.11, 24.37, 21.30, 20.05, 25.03, 21.88, 37.06, 19.58, 25.73, 24.39, 23.98, 25.06

This method is so much fun! I was hoping for sub 24 at the end but I didn't think I would sub 25 with a method I learned yesterday. On the 19 recognized a CLL I knew and ended up getting a EPLL skip.
