Wow :/ underwhelming, considering I've been getting a lot more 20-21 averages recently. Completely blanked out during cross in first solve, and did the wrong OCLL in solve 12. Ah well. Back to practise

Round 299

Average: 22.87
Times: 20.15, 24.40, 20.81, 24.97, 22.95, 23.40, 23.63, 24.31, 22.91, 19.71, 24.17, 21.98

I made way too many mistakes with the recognition of the E-slice edge colours while F2L'ing. Gotta work on that.

Round 299
23.09
23.14, 24.72, 20.38, 22.68, (36.69), 22.64, 23.22, 23.75, 23.85, 21.38, 25.16, (18.58)

Only one of these 12 solves did not have some big mistake that cost multiple seconds of time - the 18.58. If I could stop making mistakes, I really think I'm sub-20 now. I think probably the best way for me to improve from here is just do a few thousand solves - I think I'd be sub-20 then.

You should join the Regular Non-Uber monthy 4219.5 Cube Marathon.

i should really do that marathon ahaha, i already do averages of 100, slash 150ish solves a day, probably would be pretty interesting to see the progression over a large set of solves

Scary - my time is rather short these days. But maybe I'll try it anyway.

super inconsistent, the 30.96 was super derp, the 17.33 was super nice OLL-skip after F2L -> T-perm. Gotta get those algorithms learned

Almost sub-20 on two solves. 20.03 would have been sub-20 except I knew it was fast and got too excited when I also got a ccw Uperm. Like, "No way! ccw Uperm too?!?" and I peeked at the timer and it was only at 17.xx or something and I thought I'd beat my PB for sure... so... FAIL...

For some reason now, I always do terrible on my first few solves. The rest of this average wasn't bad - best Ao5 was 20.28.

 

[Schmidt]

Would it help if you warmed up first or is it just the "competition" element that leads to worse times?
And nice choice of picture for the round!

would have been a good average if I hadn't messed up on the OLL.

Thanks for doing the average, Shmidt, I knew I was forgetting something.

 

[Mike Hughey]

Would it help if you warmed up first or is it just the "competition" element that leads to worse times?

I had actually done 110 solves as a warmup today. I had taken about a 10 minute break before starting this, though. It appears to be the break; every time I take a break and come back, I'm worse for several solves, whether for a competition or not. So maybe I really do need to warm up immediately before my first solve.

And nice choice of picture for the round!

It was pretty much irresistible.

Ouuuuuch. One screwed up OLL + one screwed up COLL = average ruining counting 30. :/ would only have been a mid-22 average otherwise, but still annoying oh well!
