Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

My old method for corners was terrible and didn't work at all for multi. But I switched to OP yesterday, and decided to try a 3-cube multi for the weekly comp. It was off to a terrible start as I was holding the first cube in the wrong orientation while memorizing it, so I had to start again after I was almost done. Then on the second cube I forgot to memorize corners, and was about to put the blindfold on. So I had to go back and add that. Now execution starts. I'm on the third cube, but I start executing the first cube's memo. So I undo that, then start executing the third cube's corner memo on the edges. So undo that. Finally get through the third cube. Now executing the first cube, I kept mixing up my original wrong-orientation memo with the actual one, and had to undo probably around 10 targets throughout the solve. Then during the parity algorithm, I forgot where I was and had a pause then guessed what point I was at. Executing the final cube, the second one, I forgot the end of my corner memo, and had a minute of recall. Eventually remembered it though. Now I'm sure you can imagine my surprise when I took off the blindfold and all three cubes were solved. :D

Memo 10:12
Execution 7:01
My only(?) other 3/3 was a 21:30 from 2011.

3rd place podium in 4BLD at Euros :)
(Well Frost and Jalocha both DNFed so that helped, but still quite good :D )

well me too. I had a 4:0x solved cube, then I did corner parity and stopped -.- I am still not sure why I did corner parity, but I think because I had it the two attempts before, also a 2:37 4bld success before official 4bld, raced with ollie :)
 
6x6 blindfolded 14:20.59[6:31.99] for Weekly Competition.
Lol, at the end of the execution I was sure that I'm about to beat my PB, as I felt execution was fast, so when I saw the solved cube I was so delighted, but whe I saw the time which is almost 1 minute longer than the UWR I was like "pffff"...
 
Did 4BLD for the first time in 2 years. Messed up centers on the first two attempts, but got the third! 25:25.99[11:29.07]. Memo got faster by over a minute each time, which is good. Execution was so slow because I had three long pauses; two for memo recall and one because I thought I had made a mistake but eventually realized I hadn't. I could definitely go a lot faster on execution even with the pauses, but I was just going for a success. I think it's safe to say I'm finally getting back into BLD after not doing it for the last two years. Too bad I'll end up stopping again come September...

Edit: After the watching the video, the three pauses I mentioned were 3:30 of the execution time.

Didn't see memo, I assume around [1:50]
 
Finally sub 40 avg5! :) I always narrowly miss it or get too nervous and end up making an execution mistake because of shaky hands. Timer closed out a second or so after I saw the the 33.41 (pretty positive the last two digits were .41, I wanted it to be faster haha), so I don't have the scramble on that one.

37.79 avg5

Also a 34.61 mo3 from the last 3 times.

Pretty solid! Lots of improvement from the beginning of the summer.

M2/R2 and a few corner comms.
