Just got my first 4BLD success! My third attempt ever, with the time 19:28.87 [15:14.92], which is over a minute below the Norwegian NR. I'm going for a sub-15 NR single at Nationals in March. Now onto learn 5BLD since I'm also going for 5BLD NR. Also just curious, how good of a 4BLD time is this considering I average ~4:30 at 3BLD?

thats pretty good considering the 3bld time which I assume is mostly memo

5BLD DNF(49:53.83[26:14.12])
Sub-50 yay
Memo was done at like 20, review took +6

Cube is a total mess, even the centers got moved.
Also switched xcenter buffer from Ubr to Ubl and +center buffer from Ur to to Ul.
Problem is, I kept solving to the opposite buffer, and had to back track multiple times.

Happy with the time tho
I need to learn center comms. My execution is really slow

2-5 BLD relay in 45min 30.19s, first success!!!

slow memo and pause to recall at 4BLD corners :(

My fastest failed attempt was 34min, so I might want to get a faster time if I feel like it.
