8/8 MBLD!! 28:37[20:01]. Since Weekly Comp 2019-01 I've been doing MBLD (0/2 for like 3 weeks) and when I finally started putting effort in, I got better and better. Really impressed with myself. 100% does feel great. Caught it on cam aswell! RSA Nats from 17-19 May... CR is 12/13 in 49:49. CR2 is 9/9 40something. I am going to see if I can get to 13cubes before then... Wish me luck, won't be easy..

Ok 1 more encouraging stat lol
I've been trying lately to figure out a decent way to compute my MBLD global average. A couple ideas I had:

I took the mean of the bo3 for the last 8 sets of 3 mbld attempts I've done (all 60 cube attempts) and the mo8bo3 (lol) is 48.75 :)

48, 50, 52, 42, 44, 44, 58, 52
5 of 8 bo3s overWR yay

Though my comp this weekend only has 2 attempts so it's probably better to calculate the last 8 bo2s, mean for that is 48.25.

46, 42, 44, 44, 44, 58, 56, 52
3 of 8 bo2s overWR eh :/ at least the mean is good though

2/2 MBLD PB: 2:32.91

Happy with this, but I did 2-pass on the first cube to go safe, and I had a short pause (~3 seconds) trying recall a letter pair on cube 2, which together probably added ~15-20 seconds. This is definitely beatable sometime soon, and the road to sub 2 begins :)

Ok so my 3BLD PB mo3 is 20.58 from a couple weeks ago (10 algs, 10 algs, 8 algs) and I just got a 20.98 mo3 on all 10 alg scrambles lol

mean of 3: 20.98

Time List:
1. 21.91[10'/8] F' L2 D' L U L F2 B R D2 F2 R2 U2 R2 B D2 B2 R2 D2 L2 Fw Uw
2. 20.07[10'/8] R' D2 U2 B2 F R2 B' D2 F' U2 B2 L2 D L U L U R U' F2 R2 Rw
3. 20.96[10'/5'] D2 L2 B' F2 L2 F U2 F2 R2 D2 L2 B L' B F U' F' D' U' F' R2 Rw2 Uw2

I guess the plethora of flips/twists made memo pretty good, around 8 or low 8 for each solve :)

10/14 MBLD in 55 mins. My biggest attempt yet. Used Orozco which my accuracy is not VERY reliable with, but improving. I believe all the errors are exe errors. Maybe one memo error. Nats in less than two weeks. Will see if I can possibly get comfortable with 14 by then.

On my 15th attempt (and just in time for MBLD in a competition next week) I finally got my first ever MBLD success with a 3/3 (18:36). Forgot the last edge on my 2nd cube, but was able to come back and do it after corners; and then started executing corners as edges on my 3rd cube but was able to undo the damage and finish it correctly.

26 March - DNF (1/3)
27 March - DNF (0/2)
28 March - DNF (0/2)
29 March - DNF (0/2)
30 March - DNF (0/2)
2 April - DNF (0/2)
3 April - DNF (1/2)
5 April - DNF (1/2)
7 April - DNF (1/2)
(Break while travelling)
1 May - DNF (0/3) - 3c | 2e flipped | 4c 3e
2 May - DNF (0/3) - 4c 3e | 4c 4e | X
4 May - DNF (1/3) - 3e | * | 4c 4e
5 May - DNF (1/3) - 4e | 3e | *
8 May - DNF (0/3) - 4c 4e | 2e flipped | 3e
10 May - 3 pts (3/3) in 18:36.36

Edit: Finally uploaded video to YouTube - MultiBLD 3/3 - My first success
