The blindfold race!

DNF(3:10.71), DNF(2:57.50), 2:22.86, 2:58.64, DNF(2:43.38)

PB single. Don't remember what the first two looked like (they were a couple of days ago), and the last one had 4 corners twisted; I executed a set of twists on the wrong two corners.
 
Session average: DNF

1. DNF(7:13.98)[7/8 corners messed. All edges correct.] R' D' R2 L F' B2 L R2 B R2 U2 D2 L2 B2 U2 L U' L F L2 D L D2 B' L
2. DNF(6:32.06)[Way off.] D' R' L2 D' L R' B' R D2 R2 F' U' L2 R2 D' B' D U R U F2 L' B R2 U2
3. DNF(4:55.28)[Lots messed up.] U2 B2 R F D B L2 F D2 R D' L2 D2 R' B R2 L U F R D' L2 D2 R' F2
4. DNF(5:34.07)[Really good time for me. 2 flipped edges, 2 flipped corners.] F D U' F2 R D' U B U' R F' U2 D B' R B' D B R' D R U R2 D' B2
5. (DNF(5:46.71)[6 or 7 wrong pieces]) F' B2 L D2 B2 L F2 L2 F2 L' R' D B' L' F R2 U2 R2 L' F' R L2 D2 B L2

I'm getting consistently better times than I was. Now it's just time to develop my memory system to be more concrete. This session was really productive for me. As Chris H. says, any practice is good practice, especially when it comes to BLD. (:

all races are in off-topic discusion... btw I'll joint too when I'll have at least one correct BLD solve :(

Okay, that's a reason. Wouldn't it be better to move it?

Round 2:
1:13.64,
DNF(1:21.72),
DNF(1:21.66),
DNF, gave up
DNF(1:40.42)

I'm not saying that I usually dnf 4 out of 5, but I wouldn't participate if the format changed to some kind of average, 'cause I'd probably DNF every week.

I'M writing down these scrambles now :D I'll go to training now and bus is the best place to practice :D (don't except anything besides DNFs though :()

:tu Yes I agree with Amos, this thread would be the absolute perfect place for your first solve! Also, don't worry if every solve is a DNF (but I think you'll find that this probably will not be the case). Even if every solve is a DNF, always remember that in BLD any practice is good practice. Getting 5 horrendous DNFs is just as good for your practicing as 5 super fast successful solves. This is one very big difference between BLD cubing and speedcubing.

I don't write results in other post because I have an Excel document with all of them.
 
Round 3: My best time was better, but I DNFed the average. :(

Best time: 1:25.73

Average: DNF
Best Time: 1:25.73
Worst Time: DNF
Individual Times:
1. 1:25.73 U2 F' U' F2 B2 L' U2 L' F B U2 F D F2 R B2 F R2 D U' F U F' D2 B'
2. DNF L D' R' B R2 U F2 U R2 U L2 R2 F' B2 L2 D R2 L' U' F D2 R B' L F

4. 1:48.71 D' F2 L' B R D2 F2 R B F D U R2 B R U F' B2 R L F' B' D' R2 L
5. 1:54.54 F B2 L F R B D' F2 L U2 L2 D2 B' U' B' F2 R' L2 F2 R' F R2 U D B'
 
Round 3:
DNF, 55.11, DNF, DNF, 1:19.37
Best time: = 55.11

I'm pleased with that, it's my best time in this competition so far.
I don't care so much about the bad accuracy as I was just going for a fast time after the 55.11.
 
DNF (scrambled mess)
DNF by 3 edge cycle, two flipped
2:34.18 success.

This is my first round doing my letter pair image list (I only have A through R, and X done, but I figured I'd try it out) (I'm still making images when I memo which is lolslow but the speed increase in my memo is amazing o.O. I had to go back 3 letters because I realized I executed V instead of R halfway through so I had to go back some and I still got that time. I expect once I can think of the image that goes with the letters on the spot and I don't make stupid mistakes like those..this will be much much faster..

Also very slow at associating the letters with the object, takes at least 5 seconds right now depending on the difficulty..

Only felt like doing 3

Chris, just got in my headphones which you suggested. They work like a charm. Such reduction in noise! And I don't even have the earplugs yet!
