Blindsolving Failure Thread

My latest 7BLD DNF: 16:44.98[7:40.25] by a few pieces.
I will keep on practicing 7BLD till Monday, then switch back to 5BLD. Algs for x- and t- centers are different for those, that's why I haven't been solving 5BLD for three weeks now in order to not mess things together.
But I defenetely need to practice 5BLD as I will soon have 9 official attempts in total period of 8 days (UWR? :D)
 
26.32, DNF(29.96), 29.25, 25.92, DNF(29.07)

:(

second solve off by U2 M' U2 M

Had nice memo (2:50-ish) and execution, but somehow off by 3 x-centers
 
nooo:

5bld off by an +center 3-cycle, memoed a seperate 3 cycle visually, but executed them the wrong order :( Would have been PB by more than 4 minutes, if I had memoed them with 2 more words...
 
23.57, 37.88, 1:01.64

last solve was such an easy scramble, should've been sub 20 PB
 
First 4BLD attempt in roughly three months... 10:56 DNF by three center pieces. :(

Much closer than I thought I was going to be. It hurts, but leaves me hopeful that I'll be able to pick it back up again quickly.


Edit: 9:33.708 DNF by two twisted corners, forgot the last letter of my memo.

I think both dnfs were memo flops but still, it's been a while since I've broken a pb and I'm getting kinda close I guess

29 dnf I think was a mess
24 dnf was off by 3e
23 dnf occured cos I mistook a fish for a tadpole

had those last 2 dnfs been successes, it would've been a 27.23 ao12

Well the cube popped mid execution and an edge and corner fell out. I put them back in and got the pieces correctly placed but the 2 pieces popped were oriented wrong. This PB of around 3 min is 1 min faster than my previous. Unless it is counts as a DNF.

second solve I did a 3cycle in the wrong direction, so I had to do it again. Last solve was off by 3 edges
