I think I'll struggle soon, memo needs to improve quite a bit more and I need to get over the fear of DNFing and turn a lot faster (which I can still.) Plus my 5x5x5 is a liability and it pops, so I'll need a new cube before we see a sub-10 on that.

Totally amazing - you've gotten so good so fast. These aren't even particularly easy scrambles. I tried the same scrambles and got (1:58.59), 1:10.95, 1:36.67, 1:17.10, (1:09.94) = 1:21.57. Looks like I can't even stay close to you anymore.
Oh well, I'm happy I've been trying to keep up with you - it looks like I've shaved at least 5 seconds off my average time in the past few weeks. For me, that's very fast improvement!

Time to quit BLD :'(

Erm don't expect anything like that at Dixon. Although, for some reason I was memoing in around 17-19 seconds during those solves. Apparently if I memo in 17 and have a corner and edge solved, I can get a sub-50. Really happy that I did it twice and didn't choke lol.
EDIT:
Post 8000 congrats.
Learn 3-cycles and cut your memo in half. That's what I did.

First, can't tell if you're mocking me about the 8000 post thing cuz I've said that a lot or what.
Second, I doubt I'll ever be able to learn 3 cycles. My mind just cannot understand no matter how hard I try.
Noahaha

Not mocking you at all
. I was hoping to get the 8000th post earlier today.I'll explain commutators to you at Dixon.

Making my images more vivid and switching to Roman Rooms for memory might also be an achievement. Maybe.

Keep improving! My PB is still 40 minutes from my first success lol. I'll get back into 5BLD later in the summer.

Attempted all 20 solves in the Blindfold Race!
8/20 accuracy: 2:04.84, DNF(3:55.94), 1:46.39, 2:50.07, 2:59.06, DNF(1:42.07), DNF(2:39.91), 2:28.26, DNF(4:26.39), DNF(3:25.39), DNF(2:01.08), DNF(2:02.06), DNF(3:06.36), DNF(2:35.16), DNF(2:09.20), 2:23.45, 2:53.26, 2:32.28, DNF(2:54.18), DNF(2:11.48)
It seems that I always have groups of 3 successes, a lot of DNF's, and then another 3 successes in a row.

I got my first (3x3) blind solve yesterday!
Yeah, I know it's not a big accomplishment. I'd say this is my fifteenth or so attempt and it was definitely sub 10 minutes. I solved it on the car and didn't have my timer with me. The feeling of success was so strong that I told myself I just had to proclaim my success on the forums. It's been about half a year since I learned blind and to struggle for this long sure gives me a sense of personal pride. Hopefully, I can decrease my times to under 6 minutes before the end of the summer!
