My best in quite a while. It's wild - I see so much more on the cube now after having practiced Heise for a while (which I've been practicing mainly for fewest moves). In particular, my cross is a lot more solid now - I'm more confident of what I'm supposed to do, and so I can go faster.
 
Jay! Although I am far from being sub 20 overall I am glad I graduated. My (final) entry of this round 392 proves that I am not true sub 20 yet:

Round 392:
19.82 21.25 20.15 19.35 (24.15) 23.57 18.42 18.01 23.31 19.21 (17.67) 18.30 = 20.14

Congratulations, Marcel. You've really made good progress. And if I ever thought an average of 20.14 were a little disappointing, I'd consider myself truly sub-20. Hopefully someday.

I am actually pretty happy with this. My worst time was not in the 30's. But still no sub-20's. I'm working on it.

Wanted a competition that was more frequent and this is perfect for me. No sup-30's which is good.
