After learning blindfolded for a week, I decided to time an average, which is an epic fail, 1/5. Will continue to work on BLD though, it's one of my favourite events now. :)

Yeah keep going man, if you need any help, just DM me!
 
DNFed my first 5bld attempt yesterday. Pretty sure it was a setup mistake in +-centers :( I expected easy sub30, but I completely messed up x-centers memo and wansn't able to recall my midges memo. Wings went surprisingly easy, But most of them were wrong because of other stupid mistakes... (Mostly some set up moves)
 
So I was doing some bld for once
Got a PB, 1:39
I got really excited and walked away from my computer
I came back a minute later and realized there was two twisted edges I had not seen
 
DNF by exactly 2 + centers :| would have been PB by 11 seconds.. first sub 5 memo time for me too

So i suck at life, i managed to save myself on a pop with a 4bld. I was mid alg pop and then i calmly fixed it and got all edges and centers but then wait for it, i **** up a yperm during corners. Did the first 4 moved and my fingers slipped and i forgot what i had done.
 
Canadian Open 2015: DNF'd all three 4BLD solves first thing. Then DNF'd first two 3BLD solves, each by two flipped edges (1. comm with wrong sticker; 2. just forgot to flip last edge). Finally got a success on the third, 2:19. Next the first 5BLD attempt. I memo'd wings first, and solved them last and had forgotten the last image. Tried to remember/deduce it but in the end failed, so off by several wings DNF. Then did the second attempt. Felt really good. Result: CO2015-5BLD-attempt2.jpg. Could have been Canadian Champion too, as everyone else also DNF'd. DNS third attempt.

Having all the BLD on one day is a terrible idea in my opinion. Too much memo stress, and didn't leave me time to warm up for any other events on Saturday, so I failed at them all.

:(

(But it's ok, Sunday went really well!)
