30 min backup solution.
Pre-scramble: F B2
Orient edges: B R2 B R'
2x2x3 block: B' U2 B2 D2 B2
All but 3 corners: L2 B' U2 B U' L2
Insert at the beginning: B L2 B' R' B L2 B' R
I missed the optimal insertion, which should have resulted in 24 moves.

Here is 20 min backup solution (32 moves).
Pre-scramble: F2
Orient edges: R2 U F' L B'
2x2x3 block minus 1 edge: L R' U L' U' D F2
F2L minus 1 slot minus 1 edge: U' L
More square: D' U2 * R' U' R
All but 3 corners: U R' U R U' D
Correction: F2
Insert at *: U2 B' D' B U2 B' D B
In the remaining time, I found the following solution.
