You should, I think it would be fun to keep track of who gets it! (Personally, I just have 5bld mean left so please add me when I get it lol)
Congrats! Your 5bld mean went "online" today, I think it should be in the results-export tomorrow, too. I will check to expand the list.
EDIT: no new export avaible till now - odd.
EDIT2: It seems like the info on the results-page is from today, but the export is still the one from yesterday - I hope it is fixed tomorrow.

After a 13 year break I had another shot at 4 BLD...
Cummulative time limit was 30 min so I played it slow and safe and unexpectely scored a 2nd place finish in the comp :)

In the weeks leading up to the competition I did some partial solves and reviewed my letter image list but I never did a full solve.
