Part of my warm up for the BLD race:

Mean of 3: 56.602
1. 57.429 F2 U2 R2 F' D2 B L2 F2 D2 L2 U L2 D B2 U2 L' D' R2 F' D'
2. 51.507 U2 F' L2 D2 B' U2 B2 L2 F' D2 F' U' R D2 U2 R U2 F R' F' L'
3. 1:00.869 F2 R D2 B2 L' B2 D2 L2 B2 L' F D U2 L U' B' D R' F D U2

=D

Should have broken my PB Ao5 too, but I choked and forgot about twisted corners.

EDIT: BLD race not updated yet =(. Hopefully I'm still having good solves when it is.

Perhaps my proudest solve ever, for a few reasons.

22:02.91 [9:12] F U Lw F' L' R' Dw' Bw Uw' R F2 L' Bw Fw2 Dw' Lw F2 Bw Rw Lw L Dw2 L' Lw F' L' Bw' Uw L' Fw' Bw2 Rw2 D Lw' Bw Rw2 Lw2 Bw2 U F U' F Dw2 L' Rw2 Fw2 B2 D' Fw L2 Fw' R2 D2 L' Fw2 B2 L' Rw U2 D2

1. Used nothing but commutators for the wings. First time I've ever managed this!
2. Messed up the centre memo and forgot a letter and didn't realise until I'd solved the +-centres and started the t-centres. Instead of quitting, I had to spend (about 3/4minutes??) recalling which x-centres had already been solved, whereabouts within the memo I had left it out, and the consequences of missing out this letter. Eventually I worked out that I needed to solve a pick up cycle of (AH).
3. This ends my 5BLD dry spell after 3/4 successful attempts this week.

I now feel I have made the leap from using mostly brain dead algorithms to mostly intuition when solving blindfolded now, and it feels great.

Had several mistakes in execution but memo was ~1:15 (normally 1:15 for edges :P) DNF(2:52.34)
Nice scramble though

[Noahaha]

2:24.132 OH BLD with parity =P

[tseitsei]

Improvement!
1:10.69 PB

Also first ever competition coming next weekend...
Exciting...
Pretty sure I'll just get 3 x DNF in comp though :P
But now I'm happy

Oh, forgot the scramble:

Spoiler:

1. 1:10.69[23.16] D2 L2 B' D2 L2 B2 U2 F' L2 U2 F2 U R F2 L2 F R' U2 B2 R

9 edge targets in 1 cycle (2 edges solved) and 8 corner targets in 2 cycles (0 corners solved)

[Noahaha]

Improvement!
