Mike Hughey 3x3x3 blindfolded at US Nationals: 1:04.34

This was the solve that made me National Champion for 3x3x3 BLD this year!

(Chester Lian still beat me with a 55 second solve; I was second place, but first among USA contestants.)

It's just the execution phase. (Memorization was 26 seconds.) I know the turning looks slow, but for me, it felt like I was turning at maximum speed the whole time. If only I could turn as fast as Chester!

@DanSarnelli: Yes, it was the first solve in the final round. It was nice meeting you this weekend; I'm looking forward to seeing your first 7x7x7 someday soon.
