After a bit of a BLD slump recently, I suddenly destroy my PB avg12 by around 4 seconds :)

Super duper happy with this, makes me feel more and more confident about eventually getting a good official mean!

Irish national record. Really happy because I was afraid of DNFing and I was only aiming for sub 40. Thanks for Adam for being my lucky judge (he judged me for my 51.88 NR last year as well)!

Could have twisted the corners at the end using y x U' R U' R2' U' R U' R2 U' R U' R' U2 R' U2' R' instead of doing four sunes, but oh well.

Ranked 41 in the world at the moment

Set at the Irish championships 2016.

Nice one, Tao! You've deserved a good single for a long time!

Wow, I didn't realise that a 32s solve would only place you 41st. The top 100 is now sub-44, cool.

Wow, congrats!!

Seems like you will be reaching 45 cubes really soon

Your next goal is working on that accuracy?

Took a minute and a half off my 4BLD PB after five DNF's since my last success. Now it's 15:32, and there were lots of pauses so there's still plenty of room for improvement.

Just a really nice solve with fluid memo. 8/12 in Noah metrics iirc, so nothing special.
Will do my first bld solve reconstruction once I get the scramble. Failed to get a good mean :(

This solve was entirely M2/OP, yes I know I should learn atleast 3-style corners, working on it. completely skipped the 50's lol, former PB was 1:09 and before that 1:36 haha

Just got my overall BLD pb single at a comp!
Due to the cumulative time limit I had only 4 minutes for the attempt (usually I average around 6-7 minutes) but tried nevertheless and somehow I managed to have a success in 4:23.90 with rushed memo and guessing the sense of the corner twist during execution. :D
