Not that great of a solve, but good for me because I found nearly optimal insertions in ~16 minutes

EO+2x2x1+pairs: R * U B L
2x2x2: F' U2
at this point I first switched and found the following L3C: F D2 B D2 B' D2 F' R2 F' R2 F U R2 U' R2
However, after putting the skeleton together, I noticed that I could get the same L3C in a slightly shorter way:
2x2x3 + many blocks: R2 U R2 U' B' D2
L3C: B2 R2 B R2 B' R2 B' R2
* = R' F L' F' R F L F'
Solution: F L' F' R F L F' U B L F' U2 R2 U R2 U' B' D2 B2 R2 B R2 B' R2 B' R2

Comment: I wouldn't be too surprised if someone finds a better finish for this start.

2*2x2x1: F2 U' L U2
2x2x3: (L' F2 R')
F2L-1: D2 R' B R2 L' D' L
I did the R2 to save the other 3 move pair so that R' D2 B' D' B would give F2L. I then noticed that the OLL would skip and saw, that I could also solve the last F2L pair differently to cancel into OLL:
F2L: F D' F' D2 R'
OLL+Skip: R D F D2 F' D' F D F' R'
Luckily, the end also cancels with the inverse part.
Solution: F2 U' L U2 D2 R' B R2 L' D' L F D' F' D' F D2 F' D' F D F L
23 moves.
Comment: I guess this is what you could call "the lucky one". I certainly won't complain that everything cancelled so nicely. At this point in the solve, I already had a 25 (PB mean!!!) from a completely different start (giving L3C in 20), but this solution was definitely the ice on the cake.

Huge congrats!
I wouldn't say the last one is very luck. Knowledge of LL algs and spotting the alternative last pair insertion that lead to the same OLL is not luck
Cancelling 3 moves with premoves kinda is, but whatever.I think the first one was luckier. Or do you think inserting a sune in 8-2=6 moves is normal? I did it recentely and I though inserting it in 7 or 8 moves was very lucky. Is there a special technique that Guus told you?

Thanks Sebastiano!
Well, you are definitely right, 6 moves for an inserted sune is definitely better than average, I would probably consider 9 as normal.
About Guus: No, and sorry if I made you curious. At that competition, I had a 27 with 3 edges and 3 twisted corners that I solved using a block-commutator and a corner commutator and we talked about that solution. So he asked me, why I didn't check if I could insert a sune, which I simply had forgotton about during this attempt. That just stuck in my mind and since, I always check for sune insertion in such cases and always have to think at Guus when actually inserting one.

Sorry, but how do you insert a sune into a skeleton/solution? is that for L3E+L3C ?
BQ

A sune changes 3 edges and twitsts 3 corners. That was Sebastien's case.

I read most of @porkynator's book yesterday and learned a ton from it. Here's my first FMC solution with 2 insertions from this week's SS weekly comp:
Also, a question: I had a couple moves written down incorrectly that I changed within 10 seconds of time being up. Generally speaking, how strict are you guys with the hour time limit? At what point would you just consider it a DNF?
By the way, thanks @porkynator!! Your book is amazingly helpful!

Solution (30): B' F L F B' R2 B L B' R B2 R F2 R' B2 R F2 B L2 B R F B' R' B R L' U' B' R'
Unfortunately I ran out of time, so I found the quickest insertions I could. IF found a few 25 move solutions that canceled 7 moves though. Really happy with my skeleton, but I definitely need to get faster at finding quick insertions.

The other two solutions are not worth sharing as they were just bad ...

Speedsolving weekly comp solution:
Scramble: L2 F2 R2 U B2 D2 B2 F2 U' L2 U R' B' F' D' B' D' R' F2 D' U2
(L B2 F L2 R U B' U L' F D' F' D) // F2L minus 1 edge
R' B R B' // AB5C (realized afterwards that this was really easy on inverse too, lol)
Skeleton (17 to L5C): R' $ B R B' D' F D F' L U' * B U' R' L2 F' B2 L'
$ = R B2 R' F' R B2 R' F (cancel 2)
* = U' F' U B U' F U B' (cancel 5)
Solution (26): B2 R' F' R B2 R' F B R B' D' F D F' L U2 F' U B U' F R' L2 F' B2 L'
Really happy with this solution. Ties my PB!
Oh also, insertion finder didn't find anything for this one; can it not do 5-cycles of corners?
(L B2 F L2 R U B' U L' F D' F' D) // F2L minus 1 edge
R' B R B' // AB5C (realized afterwards that this was really easy on inverse too, lol)
Skeleton (17 to L5C): R' $ B R B' D' F D F' L U' * B U' R' L2 F' B2 L'
$ = R B2 R' F' R B2 R' F (cancel 2)
* = U' F' U B U' F U B' (cancel 5)
Solution (26): B2 R' F' R B2 R' F B R B' D' F D F' L U2 F' U B U' F R' L2 F' B2 L'
