Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

Finally a success in competition!

first solve was a 3:30, second solve had so many cycles I just DNFed at 2:00, and third one was a super safety solve (triple checked edges, double checked corners during memo, double checked corners and double checked edges during solve)... I really wanted a success in competition. It was really sort of fail though, 6:29
 
New PB, 2:52.18. Hope I can get a sub 3 at Berkeley. (This upcoming Saturday)

EDIT: 3 successes in a row, all beating the above PB. 2:43.43, 2:51.54, 2:48.49

1:55.10, DNF(2:40.08), 2:26.51, 2:09.89, 2:14.56 = 2:16.99 avg5

1:55.10 is second sub-2 ever. I have no idea where this came from - speed, consistency and accuracy are all insanely good for me. This might have motivated me to do a little bit more BLD practice :D
 
3BLD: 1:33.62 :D

B2 L' U2 D L B U D' B R2 U R2 U R2 L2 D2 L2 F2 D' F2 (first scramble from weeklycomp 04)

PB by about 20 seconds. No idea what happened, probably my first solve ever with absolutely no pauses during execution, and memo was really smooth too.
 
36.54[9.38], 29.62[8.50], 33.97[9.60], DNF(41.54)[9.44], 42.96[10.48] = 37.82

I should probably start practising again...
 
1:39.31, 1:34.97, 1:34.85, 1:49.77, 1:38.42, DNF(1:57.67), 1:44.34, 1:35.09

Average: 1:40. Memo is always 31-35secs, edges are up to 1:15 and corners the rest.
I think my execution is pretty bad, both M2 and OP corners. :P

Overall satisfied, and I recommend all the beginners to find good memo method first, and then start practising. :D
 
First 4BLD edges success using r2. Corners and centers were already solved. I use I different lettering scheme than most (I think) but for those who would like to know my memo was DM PX VI GO CK RQ WL NE SA JB HB. I'll try a centers BLD solve tonight :)
 
3x3BLD - 4:55.59

I believe this is my first sub 5:00 success. I've had a few pretty close DNF's that were faster than this... but this one makes me happy.

Edit:
Wow... and immediately followed by a 4:47.21!

Edit 2:
And then 5:00.25

I'm not sure that I have ever had two successes in a row. I'm CERTAIN that I've never had three in a row!
