Thanks! I improvise with commutators(I didn't learn them, I just understood how they work). That's why I have a lot of unoptimal and slow algorithms. I will start learning optimal algs right now, this is necessary for sub-5

Obviously the memo was fast because I was practicing Memory sports for 1.5 hours before this 5BLD attempt.

Great!
And the 1:06:22.70 on the screen was a 8bld-DNF or "just" a 7bld-DNF?

That's incredibly helpful, indeed. I've been procrastinating a lot on the subject, got to get back on the saddle.

I would love to know, what memory sports do you do to practice? Any specific programs?
E: Maybe I'll make a thread for this, I'm not sure how much variety of practice techniques there are.

I use Memoriad simulator and Memory Leaque website. Firstly I memorize Images, then Numbers, then Words, then Cards, then Names. Then I repeat it until I get tired. Also after that I try to memorise as much numbers as I can without reviews.
EDIT: It would be cool if you make a thread for this.

Yes, they help a lot. But I am very lazy, if I practised them more I would have gotten this result 1-2 months ago.

Sort of a fail but I haven't practiced MBLD since Wisconsin Winter a few months ago lol.
3/5 in 33:57.11 [26:25.18]
1, 2, 3, 4, 5[normal BLD]
123 all solved, 4 is missing like 5 corners, and 5 is missing 3 edges and 4 corners.
Really pleased with the time since it is literally 12 minutes faster than my previous attempt. I knew I had messed up on 5 after I did some combination of L' U' L U to set up UL, but I think I did it twice and then did L U L' U' to undo the first but I wasn't sure if I had or hadn't. Eh.
No idea what happened on cube 4.
E: Figured it out.
Corner Cycle is: Ubr Ldb Dfr Flu, Bdr Lfd Bdr [Parity]
I memoed and executed: Ubr Ldb Dlf Flu, Bdr Urf Bdr [Parity]
I think a different cycle-break-memo bled through, since I'm pretty sure I had Bdr Urf Bdr as a cycle break on one of my other cubes. I don't care enough to check right now though.
Still pretty happy with it.

Okay, I'm more than happy with my competition performance today. No 3bld dnf:s, and almost a 4bld mean too! Also my first 5bld success 
3BLD: 2:24.64, 1:23.38, 1:50.31
The first one was an ultra safe attempt, as I had dnf:ed a lot during the warm-up. The second one was really good for me, 5 seconds from my overall pb. I did review my memo for 5-10 seconds in the end, which I should get rid of. I had a hard memo in the last one and edge memoing took way too much time for me. But, I got a mean, and I'm very happy with that.
4BLD: 10:39, DNF, 9:09.43
My first 4bld attempt in a comp, and I succeeded right in the beginning. Also, the safe attempt was now done and I sped up my memoing. The second one went well until I forgot half of my wing memo when executing. But the last one was my overall pb which was maybe the greatest accomplishment for me.
5BLD: 30:53, DNS, DNS
There was a 45-minute combined time limit, so I had really no hope for doing more than 1 attempt. This was my 2nd attempt ever, but everything went well, I really succeeded!
MBLD: 9/11 59:47
That went kinda close, 13 seconds left. I had no idea I had spent so much time with the execution. Generally, I'm not too happy with this as I did stupid mistakes in the execution, but for my first comp attempt, that's good and kinda passed my goal. It set me NR3, it's a good place to continue.

5/5 Multi-Blind in 30:27.34 [22:53.48]
Too many outside distractions during memo, but I'm glad it all worked out.
Some of the letter pairs were terrible and I don't have good images for them yet (EH, AL, IF, KC, CZ) as well as waaaay too many flipped edges for my liking. Ended up visually memorizing them in one of the cubes, which surprisingly worked.
Reviewing just once after memorizing the first 4 cubes had a dramatic impact in the time. If I remember who suggested me this, I'll thank them formally because I absolutely loved it.
If I force myself to practice Multi more often, 10 cubes should be doable in a month or so.

4/7 52:43.34[42:38.24]
Missed a D set up move ->4 corners+4 edges. Do a D and just 4 corners.
2 flipped edges
3corner cycle + 2twisted
Lol the only other time I've tried 7 cubes I got 1:20h. But I was going slow for accuracy. I wasn't able to sub-hour 6 cubes I think.
The time is the accomplishment here, not the points.
I'm going to try and sub-hour 9 cubes now.
I had a lot of reviews...
Memo 1 2
review 1 2
Memo 3 4
review 3 4, 1 2 3 4
Memo 5 6
review 5 6, 1 2 3 4 5 6
Memo 7
If I go like
memo 1 2 3 4
review 1 2 3 4
memo 5 6 7 8
review 5 6 7 8, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
memo 9
I think I can fit those 2 extra cubes in sub-hour.

Thank you! Excellent suggestions that I'm adding to my list right now! They're very easy to picture and very intractable as well.
As a bonus, it has just occurred to me to use Xenomorph as a backup for XM as well. Nice.
