This should've been ~2:25 mo3. I paused for 25 seconds on the 3rd one trying to recall a letter pair that didn't exist (I had 1 center comm left but I thought I had 2)

Did a little 3BLD, this seems to be how practice is going for me, which is bad.

DNF(16.87) F B2 L2 F B' L2 D L' U2 R2 F R2 F' R2 D2 B2 L2 B R2 U' Fw Uw2
very easy scramble if you want to try
...2 edges
That's the 2nd easy scramble that I've completely messed up today. The first had a 1x2x3 block solved.

Edit: make that 3. Just tried @FastCubeMaster 's scramble above and it ended up more scrambled than when I started. Quick for me though ☺️

First multi at 13 cubes --> total mess

Okay, I forgot that my Sulong's edge pieces are broken, and of course they fell apart while solving. I kinda lost all my concentration, and in TWO cubes I did parity alg twice, so in the end again even though I had done it in the middle. Two more cubes I did other mistakes. 8/13 in 55 minutes

14:30.52 [6:17.83] 5BLD DNF

off by 1 missed slice move during wings

I can't explain how this happened the scramble wasn't that good somehow, but I just almost pb'ed by over a minute. Maybe I should start actually practicing 5BLD.

The scramble was from the weekly comp

Recalled last edge pair on a 3BLD solve as BA not VA. Cost me a 1:36.08 Mo3 which would have been a PB by over 16s! The downside of audio.
I usually don't mix pairs up with audio but sometimes audio can screw you up :(
