MBLD Goal: 2/2 in sub-10
Bo3: 2/2 in 9:36.77

Spoiler: Times

1. 1/2 in 13:31.98 [8:28.01] DNF'd the second cube by 3e - probably got confused because I initially mistraced but executed the old (wrong) memo. Shame because I went super-safe on memo.

2. 2/2 in 9:36.77 [4:40.68], finally a success, and also within my goal!

Recently changed execution order and parity method, so I'm taking a bit of time to adjust. Hopefully will try to get a few more attempts in before the round closes.

Round 27 Results

Results for round 27 are updated and can be found here (Google Sheets). Different events in different tabs. Please inform me if you find any mistakes.

I've been recovering from a shoulder surgery with an arm sling the past month. Back to practising now, I've set some goals that hopefully keep me motivated updating this thread again.

Round 28
Racing to sub-x (and other goals for multi) in all the official blindfolded events. Set the goal, and keep it up for three weeks in a row - or 4 weeks out of 5 - in order to graduate and set a new goal. If you take a hiatus, you won't lose your streak. If you are first time racing, or changed your method, please include it to your post as well (no need for that in MBLD though).
_____________
3BLD
Compete an average of 12, like usual. The six worst attempts will be eliminated and the mean of the remaining six is your result for the week. At maximum, you can get 6 DNF:s without losing your average.

MBLD

Generate your own scrambles. You can do three attempts per week if you wish to, the best one is count as your result. 1 hour time limit.



You may set whatever goal you feel like, because multi can get so long-term. You can race to a tough goal, or try to keep up your current level. You can also set time goals if you wish to; you decide it!

Good luck!

MBLD (25 cubes sub-hour)

1. 19/25 1:05:41 // Memo was around 41, main problems for me are missing letterpair images leading to that I have to spend some time to make up some of them on the spot. Also the memo doesn't stick very well -> my reviews take way too much time and I have to spend time during execution to recall some cubes. Practice makes better, this wasn't a bad attempt at all.
2. 21/25 57:36 // Did once for last weekly comp, now again. Goal achieved! More cubes will come.

MBLD Goal: 2/2 in sub-10:00
Bo3: 2/2 in 6:41.60

Memo done in [3:43.57], which is pretty good for me considering I was going safe. I may try to do a few more attempts if I have time, but otherwise I'm pretty happy with this attempt (again, it's all going to show how generous my old goals were!).

 

[MatsBergsten]

3BLD: 1:28.22 (only six ok solves )
4BLD: 7:35.53
(7:35, DNF, DNF, DNF, 8:31.90) a total of 7 pieces off on the three dnf:s
5BLD: DNF
so bad. 1, 2 & 5 were bad. 3 was 2x 14:06 , 4 was 11:46 and so stupid.
The last move should have been F2 but I did U2. So instead of ok or +2 it was a dnf. You never learn

Been a while since I did a massive session like this. Fairly good accuracy overall, though my tiredness was starting to show towards the end where I was partially forgetting memo and hence the long recall. Slowly trying to work some more edge comms in too, but it may take a bit to break the ol' TuRBo habits.
