Slower solving = faster time?

[felix]

When I time myself, I would go really fast, trying to solve the cube in the shortest time possible. I would get a time of forty something.

I experimented with timing myself solving it leisurely, like I do in the practice runs, and would get a time of thirty something, a whole ten seconds faster.

What's happening?

This is called look-ahead Your times are faster because you are looking ahead for the next pieces.

i have had the same thing happen too. what Thompson said was right.

Yep. That's why I am really stupid.

Is this Felix Jin?

Ok, when I solve slowly, I get nervous I wouldn't get a good time, then I speed up and the cube would start locking up. No I'm not Jin.
