So ever since I stopped practicing seriously, my average has dropped to like 1:25-1:30, but occasionally I get these sub 1s which feels really weird

Woohoo first 3BLD sub 40

Edit: Got bored of 4BLD (kept on getting DNFs) and decided to get back to multi. First attempt in many weeks: 4/5 in 13:10.31. Not really an accomplishment, but at least I'm getting back to multi (I hope) after quite some time.

Omgosh, improve memo! And you'll be crazy good, sub-9s fo shizzle! Are you using comms for everything?

I suck at memo, that was pretty fast for me. No memo techniques really feel comfortable for me, I can handle images reasonably now I've practiced with them, they work best but I still don't really like them. Also bear in mind I have a wierd system to give me flexibility, easy learning and some hax, rather than just doing letter pairs which are almost certainly faster. Even with my smaller system I pause too much sometimes when turning targets into images, so there's still some improvement to be made.
Yes, I've used all comms for a while now. I understood comms long before I started BLD so although I started with M2/OP/r2 it wasn't too difficult to switch, and I've always used comms for centres. Doesn't mean all my comms are good though.

Tl;dr I probably pose little threat to UKNRs

I was like that when I managed to get down to the [5:xx] mark, which was when I switched to sentences. I also think I used a similar flexible system (i.e. turning HVAJOB into HaVe A JOB? That sort of thing?) and built my sentences system on that sort of thing, making up single word/audio sounds from 3/4 letters in one go wherever possible. I focused on making the images more vivid as well by adding extra colour, sounds, smells, making the image more bizarre etc and actually interacted with the images which got me down to sub-4 and now sub-3.

It'd still be pretty cool to have 3 sub-10 5BLD times in the rankings from the UK
