Racing to sub-20

Round 322
22.72
(17.77), 19.95, 25.04, 25.44, (27.63), 24.76, 24.19, 23.11, 20.05, 22.51, 21.69, 20.50

DYK...
As I was starting to warm up for this, I got a 12.51 solve on my second solve?
That's my second-fastest solve ever?
I had a 21.3 average of 50 prior to these 12?
My previous average 10/12 to this was a 20.97?
I forgot 5 OLLs during these 12 solves?
3x3x3 speedsolving frustrates me terribly, but I can't stop?
I was so disturbed by this average that I'm doing DYKs in an online competition?
 
DYK....

This is MikeH's thought process during this ao12:
1. Yeah, good start
2. Still sub 20
3. What!
4. WHAT!!
5. NOOooo
6. OK a little better
7. Still improving
8. Come on, really!?!
9. Oh so close
10. OK, easy now
11. If I didn't mess up that OLL it would have been sub20
12. Oh well, there is always next week.
 
Round 322

Average 24.26 (GODAWFUL!!!)

19.76
28.99
19.59
25.44
23.04
24.66
28.78
22.14
24.39
28.26
21.93
24.20

How can I have a 28 sandwiched between two 19's? I blame tiredness, it's just turned midnight, I really should attempt these things when I'm not shattered! This is probably my worst Ao12 in about a month... but in a more positive note, my first ever sub-20s in forum comps. Sooo... smiley face? :-)

Average = 18.90

(13.27), 21.66, 17.17, 19.44, 14.60, 21.73, 18.61, 16.03, 18.98, 19.08, (24.93), 21.65

First 5 solves make a PB avg5 [17.07], scrambles were damn easy. I have a comp coming up on the 19th, I hope I don't underperform. Long time no post xD

Just realized that I have to get sub-20 averages for the next 2 weeks to graduate! Yay!

I got more sub-20 solves than last time, yet I got a slower average. Darn those 26 second solves!

Round 323
21.07
21.41, 23.12, 20.73, 20.78, 20.65, (17.96), 21.20, 23.20, 19.06, 21.30, 19.24, (23.72)

Not quite as bad as the past couple of rounds, but still some pretty bad solves. I was doing really well with F2L, but I wound up staring at too many OLLs and PLLs for too long before starting them - that's really mostly what ruined the average for me.
 
Round 323
19.96
19.47, 20.22, (21.39), (18.06), 20.12, 21.00, 20.79, 18.66, 20.12, 21.12, 18.37, 19.72

That came a lot closer than I would have liked. In fact, right before the last solve, the session average was 19.99 seconds. I kid you not. Otherwise, I'm pretty happy.
