Rubik's Cube challenge: JDoucette vs JacobEhandyside

JDoucette vs JacobEhandyside
CHALLENGE:
JacobEhandyside decided to challenge me since we're almost exactly at the same level on the cube, both getting near or under 25 seconds on average, and both dropping below 20's on our best solves. This is my first challenge. I'm not even used to scrambling the cube with a scramble algorithm. Scrambles:
B' U F' U' F2 L' U' L B' F' R' U' R D2 R2 L' U F2 B' U R2 L' D2 L' R'
L2 B U' F L D L U2 L2 R F' B U L' R' U F R2 U' F B2 R2 D L' B
D R' F U' B R2 B2 F R2 D U' L B2 F D L2 F D' F' R F L B R' L2
D R U D' F L' B' U2 F' U B D' L' F' R F R2 B2 L D2 L' R' U2 L B
L' U2 D' L B F R2 U B2 F2 L B D2 R' U' D' L R D' R' L2 U2 L' D2 B'
RESULTS:
JDoucette: (21.63), (DNF), 25.69, 30.83, 22.59
Middle 3 of 5 = 26.37
Average of 4 = 25.19
jacobEhandyside: 25.42, 25.46, 24.79, (19.36), (28.01)

Middle 3 of 5 : 25.22
Average of 5: 24.61
AFTERTHOUGHTS:
I screwed up horrendously on the 30.83 second solve, but due to the pop for the second solve, it ended up being part of my average. :( This was expected though, since I have such careless solves all the time. I'm actually far better now, so I assume this will happen less and less.
P.S. Just to see, I actually performed the second solve again, with the scramble implemented upon a different orientation (such that I didn't maintain any knowledge from the first solve; since I only solve the white or yellow cross first), and solved it in ~23 seconds, which would've brought my middle 3 of 5 average to ~23.5 seconds and my average of all 5 to ~24.75 seconds, which is better than I expected. But I at least know it's possible at my current skill, on request.
CUBE / METHOD:
Cube: Da Yan2-GuHong
