    243 29 R' U' F B2 R2 D' F2 D2 F2 R2 D L2 U' L' R' U R2 D R2 D2 F' D L2 B2 R' U' F F2 L2 D2 L B2 L B2 D2 L F2 D2 B2 L B' L' D2 L' F2 B2 U2 F2 B2 L D2 F' U' L U' D' (29) First attempt with DR :) (Over 1h).

    (D U L' U) //EO 4/4
    (F) //DR-4e4c 1/5
    F2 L2 D2 L B2 L U2 R' L B //DR 10/15
    F2 R2 F2 B2 //2x2x3 4/19
    L D2 L' D2 L D2 //AB5E 6/25

    Skeleton:
    F2 L2 D2 L B2 L U2 R' L B F2 (*) R2 (**) F2 B2 L D2 L' D2 L D2 F' U' L U' D'

    (*): F2 B2 z2 //2-3/24
    (**): F2 B2 z2 //Idk, try to cancel something, I
    guess 2-5/21 (Because of R2 z2 L)

    New skeleton:

    F2 L2 D2 L B2 L (**) U2 R' L B' L' D2 L' (*) D2 L D2 F' U' L U' D'

    to 3e3e.

    (*): F2 B2 U2 F2 B2 D2 //to 2e2e 6-2/25
    (**): B2 D2 L F2 D2 B2 R U2 // 8-4/29

    Really happy about this, even though it's not that close to my PB (26), nor is it with WCA time limit, but I did learn quite a few things.
    173 28 R' U' F L2 D B2 D' U2 B2 F2 U' F2 U2 R D B F R D2 B L' U2 F' U' R' U' F F U F D' F' U' F D2 L B L' B2 R D' R' B D' B2 D F' R D B' F2 L' D B' F' (28) found a really lucky 22 to 3c

    (F B D' L F2) //pseudo-2x2x2 5/5
    (B D' R' F) //pseudo-2x2x3 4/9

    now (D' F) F' is very tempting. that leads to F2L-1 in 12, but with 4 misoriented edges (I actually got a 32 out of that, shown at the bottom)

    instead I switched:

    F2 D L B L' //EO 5/14
    B2 R D' R' //F2L-1 4/18

    you can see how I was still able to take advantage of the pair. F2L-1 is 6 moves longer with EO added in the middle, which, considering 4 edges were flipped, isn't bad.

    now the lucky part:

    B D' B2 D //AB3C 4/22

    solving F2L from F2L-1 would have led to a 24-move F2L into an 11-move ZBLL (just diag-sune COLL)

    Insertions cancelled 2:

    F2 (*) D L B L' B2 R D' R' B D' B2 D F' R D B' F2 L' D B' F'

    (*) [F' U F, D'], cancels 1 at the beginning and 1 at the end. there were a couple comms that cancelled 2 "purely". also optimal insertion.

    other promising starts I found:

    5-move EO on inverse: (R' F' D' L2 B)
    3 pairs in 3 moves on normal: U' B' D2

    now for the promised 32, which I found in the first 15 minutes:


    (F B D' L F2) //pseudo-2x2x2 5/5
    (B D' R' F) //pseudo-2x2x3 4/9
    (D' F) F' //F2L-1 3/12
    D L' D' L D L' D' L //F2L 8/20
    U D2 R' D R' D' R2 D R' D U' B2 //LL 12/32

    double sledge into a long OLL+PLL skip. actually this OLL is the optimal LLEF :)

    After I found this (which is pretty good for my standards) I spent the last 45 minutes trying other starts. Eventually, in the last 15 minutes I ended up trying to switch after the 2x2x3. Classic example of why you should not give up after a good result, because something better might be waiting for you :)
