Is there a time limit for 5x5 BLD, here ...

No, you may take as long as you like!

Usually, yes. But there's no WCA rule requiring a time limit. Most competition organizers set limits, which vary from competition to competition. If you think you're going to be slow for a given competition, you should probably discuss your expected solve times with the organizers to make sure you will not cause them problems.
 
Most done as warm-up for the Christmas competition. I might try a 5x5 BLD next week.

2x2x2: 6.19, 6.14, (6.68), (5.21), 5.93 = 6.09
3x3x3: (25.02), (17.02), 20.70, 19.32, 17.93 = 19.32
sub20 average of 50; as soon as I learn the last 4 PLLs I’ll be consistently sub20 (the first solve was one of those 4)
4x4x4: 1:26.21, 1:31.70, (1:17.36), (1:34.89), 1:18.97 = 1:25.63
5x5x5: 2:17.15, 2:11.47, (2:36.40), 2:22.77, (2:08.83) = 2:17.13
6x6x6: (3:57.34), 3:49.48, 3:47.43, 3:53.72, (3:38.42) = 3:50.21
7x7x7: 6:12.43, (6:42.24), 6:35.25, 6:12.26, (6:00.15) = 6:19.98
2x2x2 Blindfolded: DNF(1:09.15), 49.17, DNF(33.96) = 49.17
3x3x3 Blindfolded: DNF(5:16.10), 5:44.35, 5:12.39 = 5:12.39
First day using M2, it’s going well
3x3x3 Multiple Blindfolded: 1/2 (13:36.26)
Messed up the edges on the second, everything else was perfect
3x3x3 One Handed: (47.27), 54.52, (1:02.05), 59.13, 51.27 = 54.97
2x2x2 + 3x3x3 + 4x4x4 Relay: 2:12.71
2x2x2 + 3x3x3 + 4x4x4 + 5x5x5 Relay: 4:38.20
Pyraminx: 8.92, 10.08, 8.53, (11.44), (8.28) = 9.18
Square-1: 1:58.35+, (1:27.83), 2:01.09, (2:38.81), 2:23.16 = 2:07.53
3x3x3 MTS: (1:02.17), 1:04.01, 1:18.00, (1:23.63), 1:02.85 = 1:08.29
Got really lucky with F2L a lot
Megaminx: 2:53.20, 3:12.95, 2:47.75, (3:21.72), (2:46.98) = 2:57.97
3x3x3 FMC: 49
Next one I tried was 39 (in the christmas comp)
L2 B F L’ B’ L F’ L’ B L F2 U2 F2 U2 B’ U’ B R’ F2 U’ F’ U L’ U’ L R U R U’ B U B’ U R U R’ U2 F’ U’ F R’ F R F’ U’ F’ U F U’

What do you mean "next one"? You can try as many times you want within the hour.
 
I will edit this list in place if/when I do more solves

Square-1: 1:01.44 51.71 56.23 1:09.76 1:08.58 = 1:02.09

I am committing myself to speedsolving this, and the christmas thing for the next 3 days
2011 will be the year I start again, with algs and fingertricks instead of homemade tricks and wristing

B]MTS: [/B] : 1:01.15, 58.60, 55.63, (55.07), (1:07.99)= 57.92 (This was actually pretty easy with beginner method. I switched for this)

I'm surprised I still got a couple sub1.5 even though I haven't been practicing XD
 
2x2BLD: 32.89 46.30 28.87 = 28.87 good
3x3BLD: dnf 02:04.63 dnf = 2:04.63 bad

Multi: 8/10 = 6 in 57:47, memo 41:17.
Very close again, both faulty cubes had buffer + one other corner twisted.
Still so far behind the speed phantoms Daniel & Aron....

3x3: 48.53 44.68 46.34 40.87 42.55 = 44.52

This is probably the last time I do everything for the weekly comp (assuming it's the last one of the year). I will still compete in some events probably, but not all.
Hopefully this will finish me with another 2nd place. I must be up to about 30 of them now (with 1 lone victory :))

Nice solve :)

Almost DNFed an event :p

2x2: (7.17), 5.94, 6.26, (5.40), 6.47 = 6.22
3x3: 16.99, (15.40), 17.80, (19.80), 17.97 = :fp
Comment: What is this? my best time is nearly a second slower than my average of 100. I should've picked a time when I was less of a nub.
4x4: 1:35.04, 1:16.88, 1:15.15, 1:23.97, 1:44.87 = 1:25.29
Comment: On the last one it popped, I built the centers wrong and there was PLL parity too.
5x5: 3:13.64, (3:00.32), 3:22.81, 3:35.65, (3:50.24) = 3:24.03
Comment: Ugh, quite a nasty pop on the last.
2x2 + 3x3 + 4x4 relay: = 1:56.82
2x2 + 3x3 + 4x4 + 5x5 relay: = 4:45.38
3x3 OH: (24.17), 25.27, 26.92, 26.05, (28.96) = 26.08
Comment: I gained a couple of seconds on the last, I dropped my cube on the keyboard and clicked out of the timer.
Pyraminx: 12.51, (9.89), 12.22, (25.43), 9.90 = 11.54
Clock: (14.83), (DNF), 20.90, 17.64, 16.14 = 18.22

BLD:
2x2 BLD: 28.32, 37.78, DNF = 28.32
3x3 BLD: DNF, 3:08.27, 1:40.86 = 1:40.86
Comment: Lol, my aunty came in the room and started asking me what I wanted to eat.
4x4 BLD: DNF, DNF, DNF = DNF
Comment: I suck at 4BLD. On the second I executed some centers before realising I was using the wrong buffer, I also labelled a center wrong.
5x5 BLD: 18:14.75, 15:43.85, DNF = 15:43.85 :)
Comment: I was just finishing off the +-centers when I realised I labelled one wrong. I still had to execute the wings, corners and a few centers. The time when I stopped was 11 mins. :(
3x3 Multi BLD: 10/14 in 52:28 = 6 points
Comment: I amazed myself at how much faster I go when I want to.
7x7: DNF(2:38:52), 2:46:40, DNS, DNS, DNS = DNF
Comment: Happiest DNF average ever. :D
3x3 MTS: DNF, 4:21.07, 3:45.00, DNF, DNF = DNF
Comment: Never really done this before, too confusing for me at the moment :p

FMC: 63 HTM via Human Tistlethwaite
These slice moves in the end game make it quite hard to get the notation right.
Interesting method but I definately need more HTA algs to make the corners orienting and endgame more efficient.

F B2 U' R2 B' EO and U-cross 5-5
D L2 D2 L D-cross 4-9
D B' U F2 U' B orient 2 corners 6-15
U' L' D R2 D' L orient 1 corner 6-21
D L D' R2 D L orient last two corners 6-27
D L2 D L2 sort U and D corners 4-31
U2 B2 U B2 U2 R2 U R2 Ortega pairs up corners 8-39
D U L2 U L2 R2 D' fix bad edges 7-46
L2 D2 corners 2-48
B2 B2 F2 U' B2 F2 D2 B2 F2 U' F2 all but 4 centers 8-56
F2 B2 U D' R2 L2 U D' 7-63
F B2 U' R2 B' D L2 D2 L D B' U F2 U' B U' L' D R2 D' L D L D' R2 D L D L2 D L2 U2 B2 U B2 U2 R2 U R2 D U L2 U L2 R2 D' L2 D2 F2 U' B2 F2 D2 B2 F2 U' B2 U D' R2 L2 U D' 63 HTM
