Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

On a car ride today, I got a 2:19.56 3x3 BLD solve today, which was really good for me. It would be a new best, but I'm not going to count it because it was a hand scramble, with three edges solved, ten edges oriented, and a corner solved. If anyone was wondering, I use visual, occasional numbering on harder/more confusing scrambles.
 
First ever 3x3 BLD average of 12! :D

(37.80), 48.55, 54.48, 46.31, 1:02.46, 48.30, 57.99, 54.66, 1:00.57, 58.02, (DNF), 55.88 = 54.72 :)

The DNF on the 11th cube made it rather exciting, my fingers slipped on a corner commutator so I gave up not far into the solve.

The first 5 solves are 49.78 avg5.

I've decided that Tim Habermaas is correct: odd numbers of cubes must be evil.

For the weekly competition this week: 12/12 = 12 points, 51:32.44 [36:00].

It was just so comfortable and easy; I really felt I had a good chance at 12/12 the whole time.

The wild thing is that I had just tried last week's solve two days ago, and I used the same rooms for both solves, so I hadn't had much rest between solves. Perhaps the extra practice helps more than the resting of rooms? I really don't know, though - there are too many variables here for me to tell what this means. All I know is that this was one of the easiest attempts I've had in a long time.

Despite Tim's guidance, I'll probably try 13 next week.

Nice one Mike! :D

Non lucky 3BLD pb: 40.03. The second scramble of weekly comp 26.

Go Zane! :tu
 
(27.63), (DNF(33.81)), 29.43, 38.29, 34.23 => 33.98

Trying to do simulate some comp conditions: uncomfortable, kinda annoying noises (mainly talking), a bit tired, pumping myself up and pretending everything is on the line, etc

Unfortunately I have to use a keyboard because I broke my stackmat.

EDIT:

36.17, 32.06, 33.62, (DNF(46.37)), (27.25) => 33.95
heh

38.11 is my second sub-40.

The DNF was off by two flipped edges and one twisted corner(wtf).
