Haven't practised 3BLD lately, because I've been focusing on 2x2x2 and big BLD, and did a solve on the bus on the way home. The people watching were amazed, as usual. When I got home I timed myself and got a stupid time of 2:00.xx minutes. Well, I guess commutators do slow you down when you first begin using them...

3x3 Blindfolded: Finally averaging sub-40 for the most part. Some times I'm not, but for the most part I'm getting somewhere in the 30s as an average. Sub-30 singles are also becoming more frequent.

First 4BLD success in 9:08.80 minutes! All my previous attempts (DNFs) were over 10 minutes but this time I improved them by a minute. My wing + corner execution never felt so good.

Gee, my first 3BLD success was even over 10 minutes.


YES YES YES YES YES

EDIT:

Also, I broke my 3BLD PB - 1:17.20 minutes.

Yay.

Ok, second completed blind timed solve 17 minutes! I realized that I made a wrong move when I was almost done and backtracked three edge pieces. While backtracking I started to ask myself if I really did make a mistake.... So glad I did backtrack. between my first solve I had 2 DNFs....
