First attempt since Finnish open, and first serious attempt in a very very long time. BLD is actually kinda fun, seems like I'm slowly getting back into it

Off by 2 twisted corners, one flipped edgepair and 2 other wings. I know exactly what I did wrong.

First 5BLD attempt in AGES!

Suprisingly good time, and suprisingly good result (only off by 3 +centers and 6 x-centers)

2 twisted corners and 3 centers. Sub8 was a good time for me before taking the big BLD break, so it seems like I didn't really get any slower

6BLD 29:42 (17:26), off by 5+2 obliques. I've barely done any BLD since UKC, so not too bad. I also had a 10:08 5BLD DNF a few days ago, which was also surprisingly fast.

Nice to see that you are back to bld solving as well

I just tried to do some 4bld solves today and yesterday.
Accuracy is horrible and times are ~8-9min...
During summer I averaged ~6-7min so I have slowed down alot.

So more practise for me then

Off by?

By M2 (and 3-4 unsolved t-centers because of that).

5BLD
6:52.33[2:59.73], 6:52.68[2:57.25], DNF(9:29.53)[3:04.60] - realized that I performed one 3cycle wrong at the beginning, and started to think how can I fix it (lol)... Eventually DNFed by wings 3cycle also xD
Could be good Mo3.

I got the centres solved in the last one. It was a smoother attempt the the last two but it's still kind of weird that it's 6 minutes faster. I wonder if I accidentally hit the spacebar. Oh well.

Edit: 12:26.518 forgot second half of edge memo completely. Got Corners and centers right though. It's getting easier.

Well, that's enough 4BLD for today. I'll try again tomorrow.

Edit: DNF(6:24.32)[20.00] - close to being my first sub-20 memo
I got to the last 3-cycle and completely forgot the memo, but since I thought it was sub-20 and wanted a sub-20 memo success, I sat there until I eventually guessed (wrongly).

2/15 success rate for 5BLD today. Only successes were a 5:32 and a 7:14. Not sure if this is a bad day or whether there's a stupid habit I've picked up... success rate is normally about 50% at full speed.
