Racing to sub-20

[kunparekh18]

Congrats - remember graduating from the race to sub 30? Wasn't that long ago! How did the comp go? I saw the NR vid, did you manage a sub-20 average?

I look forward to the day when a 19.51 Ao12 is 'unsatisfactory' for me. Won't be too long, hopefully.

Unsatisfactory because my previous averages in this thread were 18.9 and 18.1

Seeing your progress, I think sub-20 is at a max of 3 rounds away from now :tu

 

[Toquinha1977]

Been a while since I've done this, and with another comp in just a week, I should've started up months ago.

Round 326

17.48, 18.24, 16.71, 19.30, 19.40, 21.04, 19.70, 18.65, (24.30), 21.43, 18.57, (15.42) = 19.05
Wow, PB! Done right after a 7x7 solve and a 20 solve 5x5 session. Switching straight from big cubes to OH does wonders, the cube feels so small and easy to turn!

A12 = 21.70s. Shaved about a second from my previous time, so I'm happy to see some improvement.

 

[pipkiksass]

Average 22.76. Wasn't in the mood - only 1 sub 20, which is terrible. Slower than my last Ao50. To give some impression of how bad this was, last solve LL was easy T OLL and cw U perm, and I still got a 22. Normally I'd be 17ish with that LL. Just awful.

Well after a few months of minimal cubing, my old hands do not appear to have lost much time but I could have done without the dip in solves 6-9. In a warm up Ao50 I got close to pbs for ao5 and ao12. Perhaps there is room for improvement yet

Hi! I'm back.
It's been a while. Eager to get sub 20. Hope I get it soon.

Really inconsistent average, but a completely unexpected PB with the 12.06, beat my previous by 2.4 seconds. Not practised a lot this week though, been doing a lot of Roux solves rather than CFOP - hopefully I'll be in this thread for Roux before too long.

hhmmm

I've just graduated on the Sub-25 Race, but I'm not too confident to start it here...
