One of my first attempts was like that as well. You'll get it soon for sure.

Multi: 6/13 in 59:05.11[38:54.27]
First 13 scrambles of this weekly.
Messed up 3 J perms (ugh), 2 cubes off by 4 corners, and 2 off by 3 corners.
My recent multi practice results have been 3/5, 2/9, 3/5, 3/5 and 6/13

Maybe you should work on your mistakes (so work on your accuracy this way) first, before you do big attempts like that.

Yeah, that's what I'm going to do. Will practice 5 cubes for a week...I'm planning to attempt at least 13 in my next comp though (July 19-21)

6x6 bld 16:47.83[7:45] by 6x centers and 6 obliques. Also, there was an execution problem, so total time could be ~1 minute faster.
It means that sub-15 in 6bld is hard, but not impossible for me.

10:40 (6:13) 5BLD. Recalled an image correctly with a K, but then somehow executed R instead, so off by 3 wings. Nice centers (16/16 in Noah metrics), would have been faster (maybe sub-10) but yet again I traced wings wrong and had to fix it :/. Sub-10 success should be coming soon.

5:31.33 4BLD DNF, off by 3 centers and 2 edges.

You have the execution speed worthy of a sub-8/9 5BLDer. Please sort out memo! And you'll be sub-10, easily.

That's because I find comms easy now, and I'm getting better at think-ahead. Memo still seems to be getting faster and more comfortable, though my official results for all events should make it clear that I can't think quickly enough to be really fast. I've been practicing recently on 3x3 solving edges first, fixing any mistakes, then doing corners, all using audio memo, and trying to work on processing everything faster. It seems to have helped a little so far and I think it's good practice. What do other people do to work on thinking faster?

I'm not other people...sorry.
But it has (to throw in a cliche with the accent e, been all down to practice.) I've never 'pushed' 5BLD memo or execution - as long as my algs/memo has become more efficient as time as has gone on, everything else as improved proportionately, without any need to strain (this probably isn't the case for 3BLD )

3BLD ~2:38, would have been PB by almost a minute, but was off by a 3 cycle of edges. Really comfortable (if not quick) with sighted corner comms now though.

Bah. Today has been frustrating.
7/8 28:08.47 (19:51.16). Slow memo due to silly things, main problem was a cube trolling me. It sometimes stops turning smoothly for a second, completely threw me off an alg and I think it would have been 8/8. The cube at fault has been relubed and firmly told to behave.
7BLD 56:29.60 (35:18.46). 3 wings. I recalled correctly but somehow got confused and executed EU instead of GU.
Aargh.
