Just got 3BLD PB: 3:31.58. This beats my previous PB by 45 seconds. Memo was extremely slow and this is actually bad for me..... Last night when I was practicing, I was getting 2:00-2:30 and DNFing by a flipped edge or twisted corner. But, I will hopefully get my PB down to sub-3 sometime!

Nevertheless, a PB is a PB!


So I've noticed recently that instead of pushing my memorization, I go at a comfortable pace and it seems to improve my accuracy. For example this session,

2:45.40, 3:30.48, 3:24.83, 2:51.35, 3:15.99, 2:36.01, 3:26.65, DNF(4:26.64), DNF(2:38.04)​

where the streak of seven consecutive successes is my record. The first DNF, I mismemorized corners, and the second, I forgot a flipped edge. What I tend to do is memo edges, review them twice, memo corners, review twice, and solve. Should I start focusing on speeding up my memo or spending less time reviewing? My time seems to vary anywhere from ~1:15 to ~2:30.:p

I'd say stop reviewing. The fastest BLD solvers don't ever review, they just see what they have to memo, and then move on. The only time that I would review is if I were doing MBLD.
 
Awesome DNF'd Ao6, and a new PB single.

First time ever to use a corner commutator during a 3BLD solve. It could have been sub-2 but I spent too much time thinking about the commutator, so the time was 2:04.xx minutes.
