I tried Ville's scramble and DNFed it. Some stupid corner algorithm mistake. But it was a 1:12.xx. I so wish I hadn't DNFed it.

2/2 in comp in 8:08. Not a great time, but at least I did get a 2/2, and came second.
Also, I failed badly at BLD, got a time of 3:31 and came third.

Also, I failed badly at BLD, got a time of 3:31 and came third.

Exactly what I wanted to say.On the third solve, I executed 4 edges, undid the moves, tried to recollect what I had memorised, and finally executed the solve, and got a 3:32.

Yes sub 1:30!!! 1:26.27 2 edges(1 flipped) 2 corners solved F L2 R U R2 F' R L D2 R F2 U2 F B' D F' B' R' F R' U2 L2 F' U' R no parity

That is a wicked scramble.

At least you got a success in your first comp. Look at my WCA profile...

I still got it! I took a longer than I would have liked break from 5x5x5 BLD, but I'm starting to see inklings of my old times coming back. I just got a 13:05.17 today! I still have as a long term goal to get a sub-10, but I want to change some things about my memory method soon in order to try to make this easier.

Good job, Chris! Good luck with your memory method changes!

It's nice to know that you can take a break from big cubes BLD and not lose your skills. Not that I'm likely to ever find that out for myself or anything.

How about you try Mike?

But, but, .... I CAN'T!!!!!!!

Anyone know where I can get in touch with my local BCA support group? (Blindfold Cubers Anonymous)

1:22.22 solve (and first place) at pécs unofficial competition (first attempt was 1:20 DNF - 2 flipped edges, memo mistake - so I had to go for a safe one...45 sec memo:fp)
maybe I'm starting to get not that bad times at comps?
oh and on Ville's scramble...30.46 dnf, didn't twist the FLD corner

 

[KJiptner]

ah, what did I just do for 1.5h?

number of times: 72/100
best time: 15.24
worst time: 37.04
best avg5: 18.44 (σ = 1.03)
best avg12: 20.89 (σ = 2.88)
[19.75, (15.24), 17.24, 23.70, 18.33, 23.52, (33.05), 17.88, 26.15, 19.54, 23.39, 19.40]
session mean: 23.94

putting the blindfold on or off 200 times makes you feel sick...

 

[Mike Hughey]

2x2x2 BLD? If so, it's very good.

 

[driftboy_wen]

got first solve 5x5 BLD, 27:17

 

[KJiptner]

2x2x2 BLD? If so, it's very good.

yes, got it. I wanted to practice corners and used my normal BLD method. For memo I just verbally said my letterpair images and rushed like crazy all the time. Maybe this helped to improve "reading out" the information.

@driftboy_wen: good job! my first one was also 27 minutes.

 

[Yes We Can!]

Yay!
I tried a fast 2/2 Multi BLD and got 6:50.71 success

It's pretty awesome, that my last 2/2 was 9:17 =D
